Absolutely fantastic video. However, I would highly suggest trying to add salt to your ice creams. It is an absolute game changer. Thanks again for the amazing video!
ive noticed some protein powders have an absurd level of sodium in them already, so check your protein powder before doing this as you might not need to. when i made vanilla i added my usual .25-.5g only for it to taste like the sea
That is a serious protein powder collection! I have quite a collection, but nothing like that! Thanks for trying all of these for all of us. Greatly appreciated.
Single handedly the best video on protein powders for the Cremi. This is EXACTLY the video we were looking for, and your presentation is terrific! The explanations are useful, and we can't get over how long it must have taken to make that dashboard. We're bookmarking that and will be referencing it moving forward. Thanks for the video, it's great! :)
It is easier to use unflavored whey isolates and have a number of extracts, especially for storage. Almost all of the whey protein powders contain soy, so not good for most cancer survivors. Also if you have any MTHFR gene polymorphism, they all contain synthetic folic acid that cannot be metabolized and can build toxicity and possibly be carcinogenic. Good point about the vanilla, I scrape bean pods to add to ice creams then make extract with the pod remainders. I prefer guar gum to xanthum gum but I hear tara gum is the best. I sometimes use milk protein isolates as the 80:20 split of whey to casein would be as found in nature. Definitely dark cocoa powder works best and its fiber content makes for a thicker ice cream. Acacia fiber can help with that as well. Thanks for trying and assessing so many protein powders!
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I use Bulk Supplements unflavored whey protein isolate because its only 2 ingredients: whey protein and sunflower lecithin. As a Type 2 diabetic (as well as the other 2 woes cited earlier), there are the fewest carbs in isolates versus concentrates. No, I find some mix better with alternative milks and some are grittier. I liked Isopure's texture the best, for baking as well, if it wasn't for the soy. The flavored ones all contain folic acid rather than methylfolate but they do have some fun flavors don't they. I get fruity cereal extract and toasted marshmallow extract from a company called One-on-One. It's funny, I wish I liked the of flavor of Keto Chow's vitamins and minerals, because they address most of my issues so they really must have done their homework.
I also use Bulk Supplements Whey Isolate and just got my Creami haven't even used it yet. To be honest I just steer clear of any of the flavoured product and have always found frozen local blueberries with Isolate and green powder were sweet enough for shakes. Stevia is also a hormone disruptor and sucralose is no good.. I have a large inventory of flavour extracts that I believe are alcohol extract or distillation (I gotta look into it more) and am curious to see how they perform. Everything from pistachio, chocolate, banana to Meyer lemon with 25 plus options. Not sure if anyone has tried with these type of natural flavor enhancers but the person I buy from is called Flavor Essence.
A good tip i have found. Using a few dates blened up. Adds extra sweetness give a really nice sticky thicker consistency and add a almost toffee like note. Also means you can dial back a bit on artificial sweateners. This worked very well in a dairy free ice cream i made with coconut milk replacement and coconut flavoured soy protein. It made a big difference for the creaminess and inhanced the coconut flavour. So if you're dairy free of vegan id recommend just for getting a good creamy tast and consistency when you don't want to be adding fats into your diet. Obviously ised xanthume gum still as well
Thanks! I rarely see soy protein these days and subsequently haven't tried it in the Creami yet. Which brand do you like best for Soy protein. When you say coconut milk are you using canned or the kind you drink? I will definitely give dates a try!
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye oh sorry forgot to mention iv only tried myprotein brand soy protein. It's a little gritty in a shake but that's totally gone when made into an ice cream. The only reason I use it is for my wife who is dairy free.
Ghost has some killer flavors, but, I'm glad you pointed out it might not be the best for the creami cause thats the brand I was going to start using. I use optimum nutrition (from Costco) for my everyday shakes but I wasn't too impressed with the way the ice cream turned out.
My favorite recipe I just discovered is 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 oikos yogurt, 1 box of sugar free pudding and full the rest with almond milk, run on soft ice cream settingi have the deluxe creami so it makes about 24 oz of ice cream which will last 3 or 4 days for me
The PowerBI dashboard is great. One thing that could be a great addition is including something around price, like price per gram of protein or price per serving
Heavy cream is great to add. It helps smooth & erate & stabilise the mix. Giving a good mouth feel. Musashi sports bars have a high protein. At 30 grams.
I haven't tried Elite, but I looked it up and think the Whey version is very close to ISO100. Similar ingredients, but Elite has 2g more Fat/serving making me think it would likely make for better Ice Cream, but I haven't tried it. I see they have an Elite Casein. I would avoid that unless you plan to do something like a 1/3 Casein, 2/3 Whey (or other) mix. Since recording this video, I tried some 100% Casein powders and they just tasted dry. I didn't enjoy them on their own, but will be using it in combination with other other powders. Hope that helps and thanks for the positive comment!
Love the channel! Just got my ninja creami yesterday! I ended up going woth the PEScience protein. Question, When adding ingredients, do i add both the pudding mix and xanthan gum? Or do you reccomend using just one or the other?
Omg I love that you did this thank you. I’m a vegan bodybuilder and 7 weeks out from my show and just bought the ninja to get through prep! 😅 appreciate you!❤
That's awesome and I think the Ninja will definitely help with your prep. BTW, I recently found that adding half a can of pears (no sugar) helps a bit with texture with vegan proteins. If you find other things that improve the texture, please let me know! Also, I can't say I've ever met a vegan bodybuilder, but listened to what I thought was a really interesting podcast with vegan bodybuilder Nimai Delgado. Might interest you: pca.st/episode/263a0c58-5594-4f69-8393-97acc53cc2dc
Great collection! I’m still working on my Quest protein powders. I’ve been adding pudding to mine and using less protein, but I’ll try your recipe next time I just need to pick up some cottage cheese. What percentage of fat do you use? Fat free, 1,2 or 4?
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye Believe it or not, I hated the higher fat ones! Yuck. I'm definitely more FF or 1%. Hubs said no to the cottage cheese in the creamy. I should not have told him. ha.
Awesome video, thanks for putting it together for us! I agree with the 'extract' flavoring. I use mint extract and its pretty harsh. Anything over 1 drop will ruin your pint. Its potent! I'm gonna try some mint 'flavored syrup', I think it'll be a more rounded and smooth flavor. I'm just finishing up my first 3 containers of PE Science, I'm pretty happy with the 3 flavors I have, Peanut Butter Cookie, Mint Cookie, and Vanilla.
Thanks! If the syrup works better, please report back. I haven't tested all the different extracts, just vanilla. It was so counterintuitive that vanilla extract just made my vanillas worse. I love me some mint chocolate and have been thinking about getting some mint extract, but never got around to it.
Although you spent only a few seconds on the subject, I found it significant that you encourage your viewers to amend rather unsatisfactory powders to be more compliant with your needs. I do that kind of reinforcement all the time. Playing with recipes is very satisfying. If I make a new recipe that turns out less than I hoped for, I usually remelt it and add something to improve it, like sweetener or flavor. Only thing I can't do is remove an ingredient, but if I feel it has potential, I add enough other ingredients to dilute the effect I don't care for. I find most failures are retrievable in some fashion. I love all those empty hard plastic containers because I buy a lot of dry bulk foods, and they make the perfect storage containers for them. I agree, though, they do take space. After making my own high-protein ice cream for about a year now, I have found an interesting side effect. I also like to bake, but now I find that the ice cream bumps other desserts off my list. The ice cream is definitely the healthier option. Thank you, Ninja.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I also transfer protein powder from bags to the hard plastic containers. Quite confusing unless I label carefully. I always think I will remember what I did . . . . . but I don't.
Your protein powder collection is bigger than you are! I wish you abundant storage space. You included so much information in this video, I shall have to watch it several times just to absorb it all. Many thanks for all your research and investment in the process.
Have you experimented with length of frreeze time? Just seeing if 24 hr is actually necessary. Not that im in a rush, but maybe not letting it freeze 24 hrs makes a difference with creaminess.
If I'm starting with cold ingredients, usually things are good to go in 12 hours. Probably would be fine in 8-10 even. I haven't really done any experiments with it though, it's really going to depend on your freezer.
That's tough, Peanut Butter flavors for PEScience, Ryse, and Podium have all been fantastic. So I'm going to exclude those since that might otherwise be 1, 2 & 3. #1 PEScience - Chocolate Truffle (amzn.to/3UPtGBA) #2 Ryse - Jet Puffed Marshmallow (amzn.to/3UHDI7x) #3 Quest - Cinnamon Crunch (amzn.to/4akFgu2) It's a close between Ryse Marshmallow and Dymatize Vanilla (amzn.to/4bGpI51), but I wanted to keep it at 3. **all links above are amazon affiliate links and I earn commissions on qualifying purchases through them.
My favorite brand of protein is Perfect Sports, their Newzealand Whey Isolate is just pure protein and mixes so smoothly. I usually just put a scoop per 500ml of milk and it's so good. Sometimes two scoops if I want a really strong flavor but it's not necessary.
They are all good. Get what appeals to you. Peanut Butter Cookie is probably my favorite. Frosted Cookie is probably my least favorite---but that's not their fault. They nailed the flavor, just not for me. They also have a good sale going on this weekend, so go for it!
Really enjoyed! Love the tool you have linked. Would love to see you continue to add more brands over time. Have been enjoying Myprotein and Transparent Labs products for shakes. Haven't gotten around to putting them in Creami yet, but might be worth a go.
Thanks! I definitely plan to keep trying more brands and updating the tool. Right now though, I'm trying to work through what I've got while testing new recipes. The cottage cheese + protein powder recipe I cover in this vid is still my favorite, but trying to reduce my dairy intake.
If you are looking for vegetarian, have you trie MyProtein's Whey Forward? It's apparently bio-identical tonwhey but made without dairy using a fermentation process. I haven't used it myself, but it might be worth a shot if you want less dairy based options but don't want it to taste like dirt like vegan powders.
I haven't tried it, but will add it to the list. Right this moment, I'm trying to work through my stash, so might be a bit before I get to it. Thanks for the rec. Vegan powders don't taste like dirt, I use them all the time for normal shakes and oatmeal. There are some bad brands out there, but some great ones too.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I've been searching and usually try every one I run in to... And maybe you have some vegetarian taste buds or something but every single vegan protein powder I've tried, from bulk store bins to top brands, tastes like dirt with fake sweetener and some background flavour that sort of resembles what the label suggests the flavor should be. I gave up after about 10 deep and now just recommend people find something that they can bear rather than recommending any one of them. The only thing that comes close are things like meal replacement foods like Soylent, which is still kind of gritty and fake tasting... But that's not even really protein powder as a serving is 400 calories and only 20g of protein.
Great video. Thank you! My concoction came our very icy, in general, even after spinning three times. The ingredients were unsweetened almond milk, chocolate whey protein isolate, and powdered stevia. Is there something about these ingredients that produces an icy finished product? I have some xanthum gum and will try it, but just wondering about these ingredients. Thanks!
The gum will help, but in general there isn't many solids in your recipe. Try adding 1/3 cottage cheese as an experiment. I guarantee it'll make it less icy and creamier.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I don't know, I was asking because the Ninja directions don't say anything but other RUclipsrs do so just seeing if it has caused an issue with you since it seems like you have made thousands without a problem.
Try nutircost casein protein powder just made it in my creami and it was my first ice cream I made from the ninja and it was absolute ice cream texture and cream and tasted great I only used vanilla flavor but I’m sure chocolate is just as good!😊
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye not yet only watched so far. But i prepared your recipe yesterday and will try it today. I didnt catch it anywhere bit how long do you leave the icecream out to sit before spinning. Do you not add any sweeteners? Because usually its not sweet enough for me
I'm not sure. I haven't really used a lot traditional ice cream maker since I was young. A lot of what I've learned about ice cream has come from a channel called polar ice creamery. Here's a video he did about protein ice cream: ruclips.net/video/KZ7blzvnryY/видео.htmlsi=mvDedTXyZI31ebbD
Premier protein's chocolate milkshake is pretty good. Not a big fan of their vanilla though. If they have Dymatize ISO that's a good vanilla. Check out the report I have linked in the description for more brand specific recs
Thanks! Haha yeah, it's several hundred dollars of powders here! I enjoy testing them all and it's money I would have had to spend on other food anyways...at least that's what I tell myself. 😂
Sadly, most of what goes in our bin these days doesn't actually get recycled. Many studies confirm this, there just isn't much of a market for it. Relevant, entertaining video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/PJnJ8mK3Q3g/видео.html
Here’s all you really need to know… Leave your ice cream out for 10 mins, use 10 grams of powdered pudding mix or use .005 of xanthym gum by weight, and fill to the max line with protein (yogurt, fair life, or powder) and over sweeten and salt…optional items add extracts.
Dude has my entire life's savings sitting on that desk
😂😂😂
Absolutely fantastic video. However, I would highly suggest trying to add salt to your ice creams. It is an absolute game changer. Thanks again for the amazing video!

@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I don't know, I was asking because the Ninja directions don't say anything but other RUclipsrs do so just seeing if it has caused an issue with you since it seems like you have made thousands without a problem.
Do you think you can get good results by combining 200 ml of non-fat milk and 150 ml of water with pudding mix and xantham gum?
And protein powder? Yes, definitely.
No protein powder, you'll be lacking some flavor (and possibly texture) unless you go real heavy on pudding mix.
Try nutircost casein protein powder just made it in my creami and it was my first ice cream I made from the ninja and it was absolute ice cream texture and cream and tasted great I only used vanilla flavor but I’m sure chocolate is just as good!😊
I find the nutricost vanilla casein to be a bit bleh on flavor. Did you add anything?
Not at first but if you add some vanilla pudding it makes it that much more
No problem if I use almond milk plus protein powder, pudding mix and xhanthan gum.
maybe the vegan/plant based premade protein shakes would work better? a little more pricey but if it's just for ice-cream then might be worth it
Thank you!
Add a scoop of fluff for texture and sweetness. I know, i know, the sugar...
macromike almond protein shake is the best, just tried the banana custart and raspberry cheesecake
Thanks so much🙂
what's the top 2 vanilla protein ? can you help me with good powders?
Dymantize Vanilla, Ryse Marshmellow, & PE Science Vanilla are all very good.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye Thank you keep up the content ❤️
Have you tried non-whey animal based powder? Mainly MRE Lite from Redcon 1?
I have not. Have you and do you recommend it?
I love it as a protein powder and have made protein ice cream in a blender but don't have a creami. It's a great option if whey bothers your stomach.
How do all your ice creams so fluffy, that form a peak on the lid?, i can never get such fluffy ice cream
Are you using my recipe? Adding a bit of liquid between spins helps whip more air into the pint.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye not yet only watched so far. But i prepared your recipe yesterday and will try it today. I didnt catch it anywhere bit how long do you leave the icecream out to sit before spinning. Do you not add any sweeteners? Because usually its not sweet enough for me
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye i tried it. It was not fluffy and was just flat ish
Can any of these be made in a traditional ice cream maker? I don't really want to invest in a Creami since I have a fairly new ice cream maker
I'm not sure. I haven't really used a lot traditional ice cream maker since I was young. A lot of what I've learned about ice cream has come from a channel called polar ice creamery. Here's a video he did about protein ice cream: ruclips.net/video/KZ7blzvnryY/видео.htmlsi=mvDedTXyZI31ebbD
I'd love it if you would try my favorite protein powder. Legion Athletics Whey+
Dude what’s ur ewccomdnation fro best protein powder you can find at Walmart
Premier protein's chocolate milkshake is pretty good. Not a big fan of their vanilla though. If they have Dymatize ISO that's a good vanilla.
Check out the report I have linked in the description for more brand specific recs
@@LowCalNinja-qf4yeI’m gonna try optimum nutrition
what about premier protien shakes
Never had them, but the chocolate powder tested well. I don't really care for their vanilla though.
What happens if you spin these recipes on ice cream or gelato instead of the "light ice cream"?
Think it comes out a little less smooth.
Im surprised gold standard wasnt mentioned but realized that i used to use it and the taste wasnt that great
I've tried it and covered it in another vid. Not my favorite, flavor is kind of weak and unremarkable texture in this machine.
Have you tried Just Ingredients protein powders?
No, is there a flavor you've had and recommend?
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I just used vanilla bean as I. find that flavor very versatile in using.
RAW dark chocolate makes wonderful rich chocolate ninja ice cream
This was incredibly in depth and resourceful! I cry for your wallet 😂😂😂
Thanks! Haha yeah, it's several hundred dollars of powders here! I enjoy testing them all and it's money I would have had to spend on other food anyways...at least that's what I tell myself. 😂
My favorite it jocko molk mint chocolate
Machine: im tired boss
We're not done yet! 😆
Just my 2 cents , but the bag of plastic will go trash . The bucket will go recycling to plastic pellets and use again for other product
Sadly, most of what goes in our bin these days doesn't actually get recycled. Many studies confirm this, there just isn't much of a market for it. Relevant, entertaining video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/PJnJ8mK3Q3g/видео.html
Here’s all you really need to know…
Leave your ice cream out for 10 mins, use 10 grams of powdered pudding mix or use .005 of xanthym gum by weight, and fill to the max line with protein (yogurt, fair life, or powder) and over sweeten and salt…optional items add extracts.
You should open a gnc in your kitchen
