How to Make Strawberry Protein Ice Cream

• Blend the base. In a blender or a bowl with a whisk, combine the Fairlife milk, strawberries, monk fruit, and protein powder, then blend until smooth.
   Pro tip: if the mix looks thin, that is normal, it firms up once frozen.
• Pour and freeze. Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container and freeze it on a flat surface for 24 hours until it is solid all the way through.
• Prep the pint. Let the frozen pint sit on the counter for 15 minutes, then run warm water over the outside of the container.
• Spin it. Place the pint in your Ninja Creami machine and hit the Lite Ice Cream button. 
  Pro tip: if it looks powdery after the first spin, add a splash of Fairlife milk and run a second spin.
• Add your mix-ins. Use the mix-in button to fold in extras like crushed graham crackers or more fresh strawberries if you want them.

Tips for the Best Ninja Creami Results

Want an even creamier ice cream less icy and crumbly? The Ninja Creami community has some tricks up its sleeve. These tweaks make this Ninja Creami Fairlife Protein Ice Cream irresistibly smooth and satisfying.

• Add a pinch of xanthan gum or guar gum, stirred in before freezing, to get that creamy texture people ask me about.
• Run the side of the pint under hot water for 30 to 60 seconds to detach the ice cream from the side of the pint.
• After the first spin, drizzle in a tablespoon of Fairlife milk and run it again if it looks powdery. That second spin smooths it right out.
• Freeze your pint on a flat surface. Freezing it on its side gives you uneven ice and can be hard on the machine.
• If you are using frozen strawberries, blend them well so you do not end up with icy chunks.
• Do not skip the second spin if you need it. That is the trick behind every good Ninja Creami recipe.
