Why You’ll Love This Healthy Ninja Creami Recipe

This isn’t just any frozen treat. It’s made with good-for-you ingredients, comes together with minimal prep, and is customizable for whatever mood (or diet) you’re in. Plus, it’s one of my favorite healthy ninja creami recipes for sneaking in protein without even noticing.

Here’s why it works:

• Minimal ingredients: Only seven, most of which you probably already have.
• Protein-rich: Thanks to Greek yogurt and protein powder, it’s both filling and muscle-loving.
• Totally customizable: Swap mango for berries or banana, use your favorite milk, or skip the sweetener if you prefer.
• Kid-approved: My youngest calls it “yellow ice cream sunshine,” which is pretty spot-on.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To create this creamy mango magic, you’ll need:

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks – naturally sweet and loaded with Vitamin C
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat) – for tangy creaminess and protein
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk – or any plant-based milk of choice
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder – whey or plant-based, your call
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional) – just a touch for extra sweetness
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract – because vanilla makes everything better
• Pinch of sea salt – enhances all the flavors

How to Make This Healthy Ninja Creami Recipe

No fancy culinary skills required—just your trusty blender and a little patience while it freezes. Here’s how to do it:

1. Blend It All Together
   Add the frozen mango, Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides once or twice to keep things moving.
2. Freeze the Mixture
   Pour the blended mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container (or directly into your Ninja Creami pint if it’s safe to freeze). Let it freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
3. Let the Ninja Creami Work Its Magic
   Transfer the frozen mixture to your Ninja Creami pint (if it’s not already in there), lock it in place, and select the Ice Cream function. In just a few minutes, you’ll have soft, creamy goodness.
4. Scoop and Serve
   Serve right away for a soft-serve style treat, or refreeze for a firmer scoop. Add toppings if you’re feeling fancy—extra mango chunks, toasted coconut, or a drizzle of honey.

Tips for Perfect Creami Results Every Time

• Freeze flat: For the best texture, make sure your mixture freezes evenly. A shallow dish works well.
• Need to re-spin? If the texture isn’t smooth enough after the first cycle, don’t panic. Just pop it back in and select “Re-Spin.” The Creami’s got your back.
• Want it thicker? Use less almond milk for a richer, thicker consistency.
• Make it dairy-free: Just sub coconut yogurt for the Greek yogurt and stick with plant-based protein powder.

A Little Backstory (Because Every Good Recipe Has One)

This mango protein ice cream came to life on a summer afternoon when I was trying to satisfy a sweet craving without raiding the kids’ popsicle stash. I tossed a few things in the blender, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. The result? Instant obsession. Now, it’s part of my regular healthy recipes lineup—especially when I’m craving something sweet but still want to feel good afterward.

FAQs About This Recipe

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?
Yes, but you’ll need to freeze it first. This helps with the creamy consistency needed for the Ninja Creami to work its magic.

Can I swap out the Greek yogurt?
Absolutely. Try coconut or cashew yogurt for a dairy-free twist—it still keeps the recipe creamy and delicious.

How should I store leftovers?
Pop it back in the Ninja Creami pint and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy again, just reprocess using the “Re-Spin” function for a smooth texture.
