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 7g of protein with zero sugar.
Variations
Cookies & Cream
Crush 2 chocolate sandwich cookies and fold in after the ice cream cycle.
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.
