How do you make a thick protein milkshake in the Ninja Creami? Freeze a one-scoop whey base for 24 hours, spin it, then add a splash of milk and a spoon of Nuts 'n More Protein Peanut Butter and run the Milkshake program (or Re-spin). You get a diner-style thick shake at about 320 kcal and 46 g of protein, finished with a drizzle of ChocZero Sugar Free Caramel Sauce. Here is the exact build and three flavours.

Why the Creami makes the thickest protein shake
A blender shake is only as thick as the ice you add. The Ninja Creami instead freezes your whole base solid for 24 hours, then shaves it into microscopic crystals — so when you loosen it with a little milk you get a genuinely thick, creamy milkshake instead of a watery one. Lean whey freezes cleanest; a nut butter adds body and a sauce finishes it. Shop every base and mix-in in the Ninja Creami protein powders & mix-ins collection.
The base ratio
1 scoop protein powder + 1 cup (240 ml) milk, frozen flat 24 hours. Spin on Lite Ice Cream, then add 3-4 tbsp more milk + 1 tbsp nut butter and run Milkshake (or Re-spin). Finish with a sugar-free sauce drizzle.
🥤 Ninja Creami Protein Milkshake (Thick Shake)
A thick peanut-butter-caramel protein shake. We build it on PEScience Select or Mutant Whey, loosened with milk and a spoon of Nuts 'n More Protein Peanut Butter.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop PEScience Select Protein, Gourmet Vanilla or Chocolate Truffle (about 115 kcal, 24 g protein) — or Mutant Whey Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) ultra-filtered skim milk such as Fairlife (about 80 kcal, 13 g protein)
- 1 tbsp Nuts 'n More Protein Peanut Butter (about 91 kcal, 6 g protein)
- 3-4 tbsp extra cold milk, to loosen after freezing
- Drizzle of ChocZero Sugar Free Caramel Sauce, to finish
Method
- Whisk the protein powder with 1 cup of milk until completely smooth; pour into a Ninja Creami pint and freeze flat for 24 hours.
- Spin the frozen pint on the "Lite Ice Cream" program (or "Ice Cream").
- Add the 3-4 tbsp extra milk and the peanut butter, then run the "Milkshake" program; on a standard Creami, run "Re-spin" instead until it pours thick and smooth.
- Pour into a tall glass, drizzle with ChocZero Sugar Free Caramel Sauce and serve with a straw.

Macros are estimates calculated from each product label at the amounts listed. Swapping the milk, changing scoop size or piling on mix-ins will move the numbers — always check the current label for the exact flavour you buy.
3 flavours: Chocolate PB — chocolate scoop + peanut butter; Salted Caramel — vanilla scoop + extra ChocZero Sugar Free Caramel Sauce; Cookies & Cream — swap in a Cookies & Cream scoop and crush a sugar-free cookie on top.
No Milkshake button? Any Ninja Creami works — spin the frozen pint on Ice Cream, add a splash of milk, and Re-spin until it pours. The result is the same thick, high-protein shake.

FAQ
How is a Ninja Creami milkshake different from a regular protein shake?
A regular shake is blended liquid; a Creami milkshake starts from a base frozen solid for 24 hours, so it spins up thick and spoonable like a diner thick shake while still pouring from a glass.
Do I need the Creami Deluxe Milkshake button?
No. The Deluxe has a dedicated "Milkshake" program, but on any Ninja Creami you can spin the frozen pint on Ice Cream, add a splash of milk, and Re-spin to the same thick-shake texture.
How do I get 46 grams of protein in a milkshake?
One scoop of whey (about 24 g) plus a cup of ultra-filtered milk like Fairlife (about 13 g) and a tablespoon of Nuts 'n More protein peanut butter (about 6 g) gets you to roughly 46 g before any extra mix-ins.
How do I make it thicker or thinner?
Add milk a tablespoon at a time after the first spin: less milk keeps it spoon-thick, more makes it pourable. Re-spin after each addition until it is the texture you want.
What flavours work best?
Vanilla with peanut butter and caramel is the classic; chocolate scoop plus peanut butter makes a chocolate-PB shake, and a Cookies & Cream scoop makes a cookies-and-cream thick shake. Buy the protein, nut butter and sauces from us in Canada.
