Ninja Creami Protein Fro Yo

by | Jan 16, 2026 | Sweet Treats

Serves: 1-2 (if you’ll share)

Ingredients:

  • 1¼ cups FAGE 2% Greek yogurt + 2 tablespoons of milk
  • 1 serving protein powder (I love Pro-Dough whey protein)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener (I use Swerve Confectioners)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla Jello pudding mix (I use Simply Desserts)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, protein powder, sweetener, pudding mix, vanilla, and salt to an empty Ninja Creami pint.
  2. Whisk well until fully combined. I like using a milk frothier to make sure everything is smooth.
  3. Place the pint on a level surface in the freezer with the lid off and freeze for 24 hours.
  4. Remove the pint from the freezer, place it into the outer bowl, and lock the lid in place.
  5. Spin on Lite Ice Cream. I usually do a re-spin.
  6. If adding mix-ins, create a small hole in the center, add your mix-ins, and run the Mix-In program once.
  7. Remove the pint and enjoy right away.

Recipe Notes:

  • Protein powder: Pro-Dough is my favorite because they have so many fun and delicious flavors, but I’ve also used 1Up and FlavCity with great results. I use the serving size listed on the package for 1 serving.
  • Yogurt & texture: Greek yogurt gives this froyo a thick, tangy, frozen-yogurt texture. You can experiment with cottage cheese as well. I plan to try it with Good Culture 2% cottage cheese. I’ll update this once I’ve tested
  • Mix-ins & toppings: Use whatever you love. I love to top with my favorite Grain-free Granola by Sow Blessed Farm. Some of my other faves are Lily’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Chopped Pecans and/or Dried Cherries (my take on Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia)

The Ninja Creami is hands down one of the best Christmas presents to myself and my hubby. I don’t feel guilty about indulging in fro yo anymore. We get to enjoy a creamy, high-protein, no–added sugar treat whenever the craving hits.
