Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Ingredients

  • ½ cup 2% milk
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder or any vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Optional: lucky charms

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except the lucky charms to the bucket of a high power blender. Blend until the spinach is pulverized.
  • Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint. Freeze overnight.
  • Run the pint under warm water for 30 seconds then dry it off. Place in the outer bowl.
  • Blend on “Lite Ice Cream”, then add 1-2 tablespoon extra milk and “Re-spin” if necessary. Top with whipped cream and lucky charms if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • If you only have 1 type of milk, you can use entirely skim milk or entirely 2% milk and it will turn out fine.
  • Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder and milk.
  • 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.
