- Cover and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, lock the pint into the machine, and spin on Lite Ice Cream.
- If it still looks dry or crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the protein shake and run Respin.
Notes
- Thaw before spinning: Let the frozen pint sit on the counter for about 5 minutes, or closer to 10 if your kitchen is cold, for a smoother first spin.
- Chocolate version: Use the chocolate Fairlife Nutrition Plan shake, and replace the vanilla bean paste with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- 16 oz Ninja Creami: Use about two thirds of each ingredient, and keep the base under the max fill line.
- More protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. It may need a respin with a splash of shake.
- Leftovers: Smooth the top flat before refreezing, then spin again on Ice Cream before serving.
