Combine All: Pour the almond milk, sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix, plant-based vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of sea salt directly into your Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure the liquid mixture reaches the max fill line.
Blend & Freeze: Use a handheld frother to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are perfectly smooth and fully combined. Secure the lid on the pint and transfer it to the freezer, allowing it to freeze solid for at least 24 hours.
Prep for Creami: When you're ready to enjoy, remove the completely frozen pint from the freezer. Briefly run the outside of the pint under warm water for about 60 seconds to slightly loosen the edges.
First Spin: Carefully install the pint into your Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Lite Ice Cream" button to begin processing.
Check & Respin: After the first spin, check the texture. If it appears powdery or crumbly, simply press the "Respin" button and let the machine work its magic again until you achieve a wonderfully smooth, creamy, soft-serve consistency.
Customize & Serve: For an extra treat, create a deep hole in the center of your ice cream. Add any desired mix-ins like dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a swirl of nut butter. Use the "Mix-In" button to incorporate them. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, homemade delight!
