Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups oat milk
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
Milkshake Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 2-3 Tablespoons chocolate syrup (lower-sugar or sugar-free option recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of oat milk, 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Freeze the Base: Pour the prepared ice cream base into a Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid tightly and place the container in the freezer for 12 to 24 hours until it is completely frozen solid.
- Add Milkshake Add-Ins: Remove the lid from the frozen pint, then add 1/2 cup of oat milk and 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup over the frozen base.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the milkshake setting to spin the mixture. This will blend the ingredients into a creamy texture.
- Stir and Re-Spin: Remove the pint from the machine, give the milkshake a good stir, then reinsert and spin again on the milkshake setting to achieve a perfect thick and creamy consistency.
- Serve or Store: The milkshake will be thick but will melt quickly into a thick milkshake texture. Enjoy immediately, or return any leftovers to the pint container and store in the freezer for up to one week.
Notes
- Tip: Swap oat milk for soy milk to maintain a creamy texture with higher protein content.
- Storage: Leftovers should be returned to a Ninja Creami pint container and kept in the freezer for up to 7 days.
- Serving Suggestion: Allow leftovers to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, add a tablespoon of milk, and respin on the milkshake setting before serving.
