# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like indulgence but delivers serious protein, so you're genuinely satisfied afterward instead of reaching for a snack twenty minutes later.
  • The whole thing comes together in minutes of actual work, then your freezer does the heavy lifting while you live your life.
  • Customize it endlessly—berries one day, peanut butter swirls the next—and it never gets boring.
02 -
  • Frozen things taste less sweet than room temperature ones, so your base should taste slightly too sweet before freezing or the final result will disappoint you.
  • The texture depends entirely on how much you spin it—one cycle gives you a firmer ice cream, multiple passes create that soft-serve magic.
03 -
  • Make these in batches on Sunday and you'll have ready-to-spin pints all week—frozen bases stay good for two weeks, which means you're minutes away from a perfect bowl any time.
  • If your Ninja Creami doesn't quite get the texture right the first time, adding a tiny splash of milk and re-spinning is the secret to that perfect soft-serve consistency.
