Do you love the flavor of banana, but hate all the carbs? I’ve got you covered with this Ninja Creami Low Carb Banana Protein Ice Cream.

Ninja Creami Low Carb Banana Protein Ice Cream

If you’ve been missing bananas while following a low carb diet or simply can’t fit bananas into your macros, this banana ice cream recipe might be the fix you’re cravings have been looking for!

So hear me out…

I’ve tried to stay away from adding pudding mixes to my Ninja Creami ice cream recipes for a while now, but I had to give in and see what all the hype is about.

Honestly, the artificial taste isn’t as bad as I was expecting. For the sugar free pudding mixes, like this sugar free banana pudding mix, it does contain maltodextrin which may increase your glucose, so just be aware if you’re watching your blood sugar closely.

If you’re looking for more recipes that use pudding mixes, check out this Pistachio Ice Frozen Yogurt and this Pistachio Protein Ice Cream.

If you don’t care about watching your carbs and you stumbled upon this post by accident, check out this banana protein ice cream recipe which doesn’t use pudding mixes and uses real bananas.

You can pretty much add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to any recipe, as long as it’s a high quality protein powder. I’ve noticed the isolates tend to work better, but I haven’t tried every brand on the market yet. Depending on the fat content or lack of emulsifiers, you may just have to give it a re-spin or two for the best texture.

Tips & Tricks

Be sure to prepare in advance. This recipe takes 18-24 hours to freeze. I like to plan ahead and make it before the weekend. This is when I always want an extra sweet treat.

Tools to make this easy recipe

• Ninja Blender – I love my ninja blender. Not only can you use it for the obvious, like smoothies and shakes, but it also works perfectly for making the ice cream base!
• Ninja Creami ice cream maker – I am in love with this Ninja Creami. 
• Ninja Creami Pints – I opted for these pints because they were about half the price, but be weary if you need them quickly; it took about three weeks to get here. They did have some prime options for other pint containers, but I was being thrifty.

How to make Low Carb Banana Protein Ice Cream with your Ninja Creami

1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Next, transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint and place the lid on.
3. Transfer the pint to the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours.
4. After 24 hours, remove the lid and place the pint into the pint holder. Place the lid with the blade on top and lock it into place.
5. Run the Ninja Creami on the lite ice cream function. Re-spin once.
6. Enjoy!

How to store

When freezing the ice cream pint, make sure the lid is on secured and it’s placed in the freezer on a flat surface. The ice cream should last 3 to 6 months in the freezer.

If you don’t eat all of the ice cream in one sitting, make sure to flatten the top of the ice cream, replace the lid and store in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat it again you will need to run it on the ice cream or lite ice cream function for 2 spins.
