What protein powder is best?

I recommend using an animal based protein powder (like beef protein isolate or whey) or collagen peptides.

Is this Ninja Creami recipe paleo?

Yes, this recipe is paleo, so long as you use a paleo friendly protein powder. I used a beef protein isolate, which is dairy free and refined sugar free.

Maple Pecan Ice Cream (Ninja Creami)

Description

This maple pecan ice cream recipe is made in the Ninja Creami. It has a thick, smooth and creamy texture that's flavored with maple syrup, pecans and cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop protein powder*
2 Tbsp pecans
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a blender, combine all ice cream ingredients except the protein powder. Blend on high until the pecans are fully pulverized.
Add in the protein powder and blend for a few seconds. For best results, don't over-blend the mixture. (I like to add the protein powder last so that it doesn't get blended as much and create a lot of air in the liquid. If over-blended, then the liquid will overfill your Creami pint.)
Pour the ice cream into your Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
Remove the container from the freezer and level off the top (if needed).
Place the pint in your Ninja Creami machine and blend on "Lite Ice Cream".
Blend again using the "Re-Spin" button.

Notes

*I used Equip's Cinnamon Roll beef protein isolate, which is paleo friendly and dairy free. A whey protein or collagen peptides will work as a replacement.
