Ninja Creami -- It's Amazing



Recommended Posts

On Black Friday, I bought a Ninja Creami for my family. The Creami allows you to make your own ice cream pints. You make your liquid mix, place in it one of their plastic pints and freeze it for at least 24 hours. You put the pint in the machine, spin it for a few cycles and you get ice cream.

Here is why it is great for bariatric patients: you can make delicious, high Protein, low sugar ice cream. Not an exaggeration.

For my first ice cream, I mixed a 16 oz Premier Protein 30g chocolate shake, a packet of Chocolate Toffee Keto chow, 1 tsp of MCT oil and 4 tbs of 2% milk. I had to put that mixture into a blender to get it all mixed because it was pretty thick. But then I poured it into a plastic pint and froze it.

When it was done, it tasted just like a creamy chocolate ice cream and had the following nutritional profile (per MyFitnessPal)
356 calories
9.2g of fat
5.5g of net carbs
4.4g of sugar
57.7g of protein
109% of my calcium
34% of my iron
2,135mg of potassium
27.5% of Vitamin A
26% of Vitamin C

(By way of comparison, a pint of Blue Bell vanilla has 640 calories, 32g of fat, 68g of sugar and 16g of protein).

The Creami is not cheap (Normally $170, bought it for $125 on Black Friday). But if you can afford it and you like ice cream, I highly recommend it. You can use Protein Shakes, protein powders, Greek yogurt and a ton of other bariatric-friendly ingredients to make something that tastes like ice cream that you can eat guilt free.

Wow. We just got the ninja double basket air fryer to make whole meals rather than just one smaller quantity.

Thank you for the basic recipe. I just purchased one based on several posts saying it was great.
