NEW RECIPE!

FROM MY SPATTERED KITCHEN NOTEBOOK!

VEGAN + GLUTEN-FREE / CAN BE SOY-FREE / HIGH-PROTEIN

I live in a community with a really active Buy Nothing group, with many generous neighbors! I was lucky and scored a Ninja Creami machine in almost brand-new condition.

I am actively working to increase my daily protein and have been having lots of fun making different high-protein Creami concoctions to enjoy for breakfast [and throughout the day].

I’ve learned an awesome trick from one of the Facebook Ninja Creami groups. If you melt a little bit of chocolate and then add it to the Creami before you re-spin the cannister, it will freeze into chocolate flakes throughout the chocolate!!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ninja Creami Ice Cream Recipe - Vegan + Gluten-Free

2

I honestly don't understand how this is a healthy treat, it tastes ridiculous. It's high protein, vegan and gluten-free!
This recipe makes enough to fill a Creami container up to the "max fill line."

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ½ cup unsweetened plain soymilk
  • 4 oz extra-firm tofu
  • 1 scoop protein powder 36g
  • 2 tablespoons PB2
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Using a blender, strong food processor or immersion / stick blender - process all of the ingredients, except chocolate, together until smooth.
  • Pour into a Ninja Creami container and freeze uncovered overnight.
  • Process on the "Lite Ice Cream" setting according to the Ninja Creami instructions. Process again on the "Respin" setting.
  • While the Creami machine processes, place the chocolate chips into a small dish and microwave in bursts, stirring regularly, until melted. This will take under a minute!
  • With a spoon, create a small divot in the center of the churned ice cream, and add the melted chocolate. Process on "Mix In" and enjoy!

Notes

  • I'm currently using MRM protein powder, which weighs 36g and has 150 calories per scoop.
  • I generated the macros using My Fitness Pal and the above protein powder. This recipe makes two servings.
  • For a soy-free version, replace the soymilk with hemp milk, or another higher fat non-dairy milk.
