Q: How do I make Strawberry Cheesecake protein ice cream without sugar?
A: Blend vanilla whey isolate, cream cheese and Rabeko Zero Jam in a Ninja Creami pint, freeze 24h, spin twice. 230 kcal, 32g protein, 4g sugar per serving.
Substitution note: Bowmar Whey is currently OOS for vanilla; this version uses Allmax Isoflex Vanilla (Informed Choice certified) plus Rabeko Zero Jam — same macros, same flavour, in stock today.
Strawberry Cheesecake is the most requested TNF Creami pint among our Mile-End regulars. Owner-tested rule: don't skip the cream cheese — it's what makes the texture pull and stretch like real cheesecake. Bowmar Vanilla Whey is the legacy combo here, but it's been out of stock through Q1 2026; we've cross-tested with Allmax Isoflex Vanilla and the result is indistinguishable. Allmax is Informed Choice certified, which matters for the powerlifting / amateur competition crowd that swings by the shop.
Substitution noted: this version replaces Bowmar Whey Vanilla with Allmax Isoflex Vanilla, which is in stock today.
Ingredients (1 pint (2 servings))
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey isolate — Allmax Nutrition Isoflex Whey Protein Isolate (1lb)
- 2 tbsp light cream cheese
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Rabeko Zero Jam (strawberry) — Rabeko Zero Jam (225 g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Crushed graham crumb (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Microwave cream cheese 15 seconds until soft. Whisk into the almond milk in the Creami pint.
- Add whey, Greek yogurt, vanilla and salt; whisk until smooth.
- Drop in 2 tbsp Rabeko Zero Jam in dollops — do not stir; you want jam swirls, not pink ice cream.
- Seal, tap to release bubbles, freeze flat for 24 hours.
- Run the Lite Ice Cream cycle, then Re-Spin.
- Top with crushed graham crumb if using, and serve.

Tips From the TNF Kitchen
- Use light cream cheese, not fat-free — fat-free gets rubbery in the Creami.
- Rabeko Zero Jam is sweetened with maltitol/sucralose and won't crystallize like sugar jams.
- For a cheesecake-bite finish, sprinkle 1 crushed ChocZero Butter Cookie on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use casein instead of whey isolate?
Yes — casein gets even creamier in the Creami. Allmax CaseinFX is a good 1:1 swap.
Why isolate and not regular whey?
Whey isolate is lower in lactose and fat, which keeps macros cleaner and the texture less icy. Allmax Isoflex is 90% protein by weight.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Substitute PEScience Select Vegan Protein and use a vegan cream-cheese spread. Texture turns slightly looser — add 1 tsp xanthan gum.
Is Rabeko Zero Jam actually sugar-free?
Yes — 0g added sugar, sweetened with maltitol and sucralose. Each 2 tbsp serving has under 1g net carbs.
