1 serving vanilla whey protein powder (35g) or any vanilla protein powder
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Oreo thins

Instructions

Add the milk, protein powder, and vanilla extract to a Ninja Creami pint. Stir and freeze overnight.
Run the pint under warm water for 30 seconds then dry it off. Place in the outer bowl.

Notes

This recipe can serve 1 as a large snack, or 2 as a healthy dessert.
Use gluten-free Oreos or another brand of sandwich cookie if required.
Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder and milk.
Use almond milk and a plant-based vanilla protein powder if you are vegan or dairy-free.
Run the pint under warm water to soften the sides and reduce ice crystals.
If you cannot finish the entire pint, flatten the top and re-freeze. Spin on "Lite Ice Cream" next time. The Oreos will blend into the base.
