- 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional for Creaminess and Flavor
- 1/2 banana (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 1–2 teaspoons cocoa powder (if using vanilla protein)
- 1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (optional, for extra protein and creaminess)
Sweeteners (Optional)

Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth to ensure even mixing and creamy texture.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure to freeze it flat for at least 12 hours until completely solid.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer, insert it into your Ninja Creami machine, and select the “Milkshake” or “Soft Serve” function depending on your model.
- Adjust Consistency: If the shake is too firm after the first spin, add a splash of milk and then respin to achieve your desired creaminess.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once smooth and creamy, pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use chocolate protein with peanut butter for a Reese’s-inspired shake, or vanilla protein with fruit for a fruity blend.
- To create a thicker shake, add a few chunks of frozen banana before spinning in the machine.
- Customize sweetness and consistency based on your protein powder type and personal preferences.
