Why a dairy-free & vegan Creami guide?
Most protein Creami recipes lean on whey and casein — great for macros, but off the table if you are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or simply avoiding dairy. The good news: the Ninja Creami works beautifully with plant proteins and dairy-free bases. Below are five recipes built only on products we currently stock, so you can add everything to one cart. Four are fully vegan; one (the berry sorbet) is dairy-free but not vegan, and it is clearly labelled so you can choose what fits.
Choosing your dairy-free base
- PEScience Select Vegan Protein — a pea + brown-rice blend, fully vegan, dairy/soy/gluten free. Per scoop (~29 g): 100 calories, 20 g protein, 4 g carbohydrate, 1 g fibre, 0 g sugar, 0 g fat. Naturally sweetened with stevia.
- PVL Fermented & Sprouted Plant-Pro — a fully vegan fermented and sprouted blend of pea, pumpkin seed, brown rice, and quinoa with 25 g plant protein per serving, 0 g added sugar, plus a probiotic and digestive enzymes.
- PVL ISO CLEAAR — a clear, juice-style protein that is dairy-free and lactose-free but not vegan (it is made from beef protein isolate and collagen). Per scoop: 80 calories, 20 g protein, 0 g sugar, 0 g fat, 0 g carbohydrate. Ideal for sorbet-style Creami.
Dairy-free mix-ins used below: PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (just roasted peanuts, sugar, and salt — vegan, ~60 kcal and 6 g protein per 2 tbsp), Rabeko Zero Sauce (the Chocolate and Salted Caramel flavours are vegan-suitable, ~4–5 kcal per 15 g), and Rabeko Zero Jam (a real-fruit, sugar-free jam, ~12 kcal per 10 g). A pinch of xanthan gum keeps plant bases smooth and stops ice crystals.
1. Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Creami
100% Vegan & Dairy-Free
A rich, fudgy chocolate ice cream with a nutty peanut butter swirl — built entirely on plant protein. No milk, no whey, no compromise.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops PEScience Select Vegan Protein (Chocolate Bliss or Amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter)
- 2 tbsp PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (Original)
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk (your choice)
- 2 tbsp Rabeko Zero Sauce (Chocolate)
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (helps texture)
Instructions
- In a Ninja Creami pint container, whisk the PEScience Select Vegan Protein, PB2, plant milk, and xanthan gum until completely smooth — no clumps. It should look like a thick chocolate milkshake.
- Cover with the lid and freeze flat for at least 24 hours (do not skip this — texture depends on a full freeze).
- Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and run the "Ice Cream" (or "Light Ice Cream") cycle once.
- If it looks crumbly or icy, add a splash of plant milk and run the "Re-spin" cycle.
- Make a hole in the centre, drizzle in the Rabeko Chocolate sauce, and run the "Mix-In" cycle. Scoop and serve.

4. Dairy-Free Berry Protein Sorbet
Dairy-Free (not vegan — contains beef & collagen protein)
A light, refreshing sorbet-style Creami built on a clear juice protein. Important: this base is dairy-free and lactose-free, but it is not vegan — PVL ISO CLEAAR is made from beef protein isolate and collagen. Choose this one only if you eat animal protein but avoid dairy.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops PVL ISO CLEAAR (Blue Slushie or Summer Peach)
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 tbsp Rabeko Zero Jam (Light Forest Fruits or Light Strawberry)
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Stir the PVL ISO CLEAAR into the cold water in a Ninja Creami pint until fully dissolved (it mixes clear, like juice).
- Stir in 2 tbsp of the Rabeko Zero Jam, then add the ice.
- Cover and freeze flat for at least 24 hours.
- Run the "Sorbet" cycle (or "Ice Cream" if your model has no sorbet setting). Re-spin with a splash of water if crumbly.
- Top with the remaining 1 tbsp of jam and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ninja Creami?
The Ninja Creami is a countertop ice cream machine that uses a paddle and cone-blade to transform a frozen liquid base into smooth, scoopable ice cream. It is popular for protein ice cream because it turns high-protein bases into a real ice cream texture.
Which of these recipes are vegan and which are only dairy-free?
Recipes 1, 2, 3, and 5 are fully vegan and dairy-free (built on PEScience Select Vegan Protein or PVL Plant-Pro). Recipe 4, the berry sorbet, is dairy-free and lactose-free but not vegan, because PVL ISO CLEAAR is made from beef protein isolate and collagen.
Do plant proteins work as well as whey in the Ninja Creami?
Yes, with one tweak. Plant proteins can absorb more liquid and freeze harder, so a pinch of xanthan gum and a "Re-spin" cycle with a splash of plant milk give you a smooth, creamy result instead of a crumbly one.
Why add xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum (about 1/4 tsp) helps prevent ice crystals and gives a smoother, creamier scoop. It is optional but highly recommended for plant-based bases.
Can I make these without a Ninja Creami?
You can blend the same ingredients and freeze them in popsicle moulds, but for true scoopable ice cream texture the Ninja Creami is the appliance that makes this category work.
Where can I buy these dairy-free and vegan ingredients in Canada?
All of the protein powders, sauces, and spreads used here are in stock at Top Nutrition & Fitness, shipping same-day from Montreal to all 10 provinces and the USA, with free shipping on qualifying orders and no duties or tariffs added at checkout.
