Description

Enjoy a creamy, high-protein Ninja Snickers ice cream! A guilt-free, low-sugar treat perfect for fitness lovers and dessert enthusiasts.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (or powdered peanut butter for fewer calories)
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tbsp crushed peanuts
  • Sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    • Blend protein powder, almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth.
  • Freeze the Mixture:
    • Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container or a freezer-safe bowl.
    • Freeze for 6-8 hours, or overnight, until completely solid.
  • Blend & Creamify:
    • If using a Ninja Creami, process the frozen base using the “Ice Cream” setting.
    • If the texture is too firm, add a splash of almond milk and re-blend.
  • Add Mix-Ins:
    • Stir in sugar-free chocolate chips and crushed peanuts for a Snickers-like texture.
    • Drizzle with sugar-free caramel syrup for extra flavor.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    • Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or freeze for 15 minutes for a firmer texture.
    • Garnish with extra peanut butter drizzle or chopped peanuts for added crunch!

Notes

  • Use Casein Protein for Extra Creaminess: Whey protein can make the texture icy, while casein results in a smoother finish.
  • Let It Sit Before Blending: If too frozen, allow the container to sit for 5-10 minutes before processing.
  • Adjust Sweetness to Your Liking: Taste the base before freezing and adjust the sweetener accordingly.
  • For a Vegan Option: Use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Make It Extra Thick: Add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or gelatin for a creamier texture.
  • Low-Carb Swap: Use heavy cream or coconut milk instead of almond milk for a keto-friendly version.
