Q: Can I match Ninja Creami ice cream to my diet — cutting, keto or high-protein? Yes. The same machine makes an under-200-calorie "skinny" pint, a low-carb keto pint, or a 40 g-protein meal-prep pint — you just change the base and the fat/carb balance. This guide gives six goal-specific recipes with macros and the exact Canadian powders, sauces and mix-ins we stock at Top Nutrition & Fitness in Montreal.
How to steer your macros in the Creami
- Lower calories: use a lean whey isolate, unsweetened almond milk (and even part water), and zero-calorie sauces. Fat is the biggest calorie lever.
- Keto / low-carb: use casein or isolate, swap milk for almond milk plus a splash of cream, and sweeten with stevia and sugar-free syrups. Add fat (nut butter, cream) for smooth low-carb texture.
- High-protein meal-prep: blend whey and casein, add a nut butter for staying power, and load crushed protein snacks on the Mix-In program to push past 40 g protein.
Every product below is in stock. Browse the full Ninja Creami collection. The base method is the same each time: whisk powder into a splash of liquid to a paste, freeze the pint flat 24 hours, spin on Lite Ice Cream (Sorbet where noted), re-spin with 1 tbsp liquid if grainy, then add mix-ins on the Mix-In program.
Our star base: PEScience Select Protein
If you make one Creami base your default, make it PEScience Select Protein. It is a whey concentrate-isolate blend (~24 g protein per scoop) that spins into a soft-serve texture and carries dessert flavors better than any powder we stock — with the widest flavor range for the Creami. It comes in three sizes so there is one for everyone: a 5-serving trial to test flavors, the 27-serving tub for regulars, and the 55-serving value size for daily Creami habits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make low-calorie Ninja Creami ice cream under 200 calories?
Use one scoop of lean whey isolate, unsweetened almond milk cut with a little water, powdered peanut butter or a zero-calorie sauce for flavor, and a stevia blend. A full pint lands around 160 to 190 calories with roughly 30 g protein.
Can you make keto Ninja Creami ice cream?
Yes. Use micellar casein or whey isolate, replace milk with unsweetened almond milk plus a splash of heavy cream, and sweeten with stevia and sugar-free ChocZero syrups or spreads. This keeps net carbs low while staying creamy.
How do I get 40 grams of protein in one Creami pint?
Blend one scoop of whey with half a scoop of casein, use 1% milk, add a tablespoon of nut butter, and mix in a chopped protein brownie or protein bites after the first spin. That pushes a single pint to 40 to 52 g protein.
Is whey isolate or casein better for low-calorie Creami?
Whey isolate is lighter and lower in fat, which suits low-calorie pints. Casein is creamier and better for keto and meal-prep pints where you want a thicker, slower-melting scoop.
Does the Ninja Creami work for weight loss?
It can help. Swapping a 600-calorie bowl of regular ice cream for a 180-calorie protein pint with 30 g of protein supports satiety and a calorie deficit while still satisfying a sweet craving.
