Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This cookies and cream Ninja Creami is not just delicious, it’s functional. You’re getting a solid protein boost while keeping things dairy-free and easy to customize.

It’s made with clean, simple ingredients and delivers that thick, scoopable texture you expect from traditional ice cream. And thanks to the Ninja Creami, you don’t need any complicated techniques to get it right.

Ingredients

• 15 grams cookies and cream Equip Prime Protein (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!)
• 5 grams vanilla or chocolate Simply Delish pudding mix (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!)
• 7 ounces almond milk
• 2 to 3 dairy-free chocolate sandwich cookies (you can even use Oreos because they are dairy-free!)

Instructions

1. Start by adding your protein powder, pudding mix, and almond milk directly into your Ninja Creami pint container. Use a handheld frother to fully blend everything until smooth and lump-free.
2. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze overnight until solid.
3. When you’re ready to spin, remove the pint from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes. This helps achieve a creamier consistency.
4. Insert the pint into your Ninja Creami and spin on the light ice cream setting. After the first spin, re-spin once more for a smoother texture.
5. Next, crumble your dairy-free cookies and add them to the pint. Use the mix-in setting to evenly distribute those cookies and cream pieces throughout.
6. Top with extra cookies if you want to take it over the top.

Nutrition Highlights

This recipe is designed to give you that dessert satisfaction while still aligning with your goals.

You’re getting a high-protein base from the Equip protein, which supports muscle recovery and keeps you fuller longer. The almond milk keeps it dairy-free and lighter, while the pudding mix helps create that ultra-creamy texture without needing heavy cream.

Depending on the cookies you use, you can easily control the sugar level while still getting that classic cookies and cream flavor.

Tips for the Best Ninja Creami Texture

• Letting the pint sit out before spinning is key. If you skip this step, the texture can turn out a bit crumbly.
• If your ice cream still looks powdery after the first spin, don’t worry. Just re-spin and it will come together into that creamy consistency.
• For an even thicker result, you can reduce the almond milk slightly or add a splash more after the first spin and re-spin again.

Customization Ideas

You can easily switch this recipe up depending on your flavor cravings.

Use chocolate protein for a deeper cookies and cream vibe or vanilla for a more classic base. Add a swirl of dairy-free chocolate syrup or mix in crushed nuts for extra texture.

You can also experiment with different vegan sandwich cookies to change up the flavor profile while keeping it dairy-free.

Final Thoughts

This high-protein, dairy-free cookies and cream Ninja Creami recipe proves you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or texture to hit your goals. It’s quick to prep, endlessly customizable, and seriously satisfying.
