Which Ninja Creami flavours are worth making with protein powder? We took the six most-searched classic Creami flavours — birthday cake, cookies & cream, peanut butter cup, strawberry cheesecake, mint chocolate chip and coffee mocha — and rebuilt each as a high-protein pint using powders and snacks we actually stock in Canada. Every recipe below has the ingredients, the Creami steps, estimated macros calculated from real label data, and a flavour twist. Free shipping on qualifying orders across Canada.
How the Ninja Creami makes protein ice cream
The Creami freezes a liquid base solid, then shaves it into a creamy texture. For high-protein "ice cream" you swap the cream and sugar for a protein shake. Low-fat, low-carb whey and isolate freeze and re-spin the cleanest, which is why they make the best base. Casein makes an extra-thick, custard-like pint.
The base ratio
1 scoop protein powder + ~1 cup (240 ml) milk + 1 tbsp sugar-free instant pudding mix (optional, for creaminess) + sweetener to taste. Whisk smooth, freeze flat 24 hours, spin on Lite Ice Cream, then Re-spin. Add mix-ins last with the Mix-In program.

Ninja Creami protein FAQ
What protein powder works best in a Ninja Creami?
A low-fat, low-carb whey or isolate makes the smoothest high-protein Creami because it freezes and re-spins cleanly. Our current favourite is MuscleSport Lean Whey Iso Hydro (isolate + hydrolysate, 25 g protein, 130 kcal, low-fat); PEScience Select, Allmax Isoflex and North Coast Naturals ISO are also great, and casein like Allmax CaseinFX makes an extra-thick pint.
What is the base ratio for a protein Creami?
One scoop of protein powder to about one cup (240 ml) of milk, plus an optional tablespoon of sugar-free instant pudding for creaminess. Whisk smooth, freeze flat for 24 hours, spin on Lite Ice Cream, then Re-spin.
Why do I need to freeze the base for 24 hours?
A full 24-hour freeze lets the base set solid and flat so the Creami paddle can shave it into a smooth, ice-cream-like texture instead of icy shards.
How do I make a protein Creami creamier and less icy?
Add a tablespoon of sugar-free instant pudding mix or a spoon of nut butter to the base, freeze it perfectly flat, and always run the Re-spin program. A splash of milk before the Re-spin helps too.
Are these Creami recipes gluten-free or keto?
Many of the bases and mix-ins we use are gluten-free or keto-friendly, but not all — check each product page, since flavours and formulas change.
