Why This Recipe Works
Vanilla is the ultimate Ninja Creami base. It pairs with anything — berries, cookies, peanut butter, caramel. The pudding mix creates a smoother, creamier result than protein powder alone because of the built-in thickeners.
Simply Desserts is a real dessert brand — not a protein supplement company trying to make dessert. That means genuine flavour, creamy texture, and clean ingredients. Every serving delivers 13g of protein with zero sugar.

Strawberry Swirl
Blend fresh strawberries with a squeeze of lemon and swirl through after processing.
Vanilla Caramel
Drizzle sugar-free caramel sauce and sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.
Birthday Cake
Add rainbow sprinkles and a drop of almond extract before freezing.
