Equipment

Ingredients

2 cartons 5.3 ounce key lime pie Greek yogurt
½ cup milk I recommend whole
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 teaspoons lime juice
whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs optional (see notes)

Instructions

In a Ninja Creami pint container, combine Greek yogurt, milk, protein powder, and lime juice.
Combine using a frother, immersion blender, or whisk until it's creamy and there are no lumps.
Top with the lid and freezer overnight or for at least 10 hours.
When you're ready to enjoy the ice cream, remove the lid from the pint container and place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Twist the lid with the blad installed until it clicks into place, then secure into the Ninja Creami device.
Process using the lite ice cream setting.
If the ice cream is crumbly after the first spin, add a splash of milk or a spoonful of yogurt and use the re-spin button.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of graham crackers if you want! I used Simple Mills Sweet Thins which are a healthier option and also gluten-free.

Notes

I have not tried making this recipe dairy-free

I used Just Ingredients vanilla protein powder, which I've linked below with a 10% discount code for you (affiliate). I've also had great success with Clean Simple Eats.

If you're making this gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free graham crackers (if you're adding them) and protein powder.

Ninja Creami Tips:

I've found that whole milk works best for Ninja Creami ice cream, and gives it the creamiest texture.

I used the Chobani Greek key lime pie ice cream, that has a little added sugar. I'm not sure how it would work with a different type especially if it is sugar-free.

My favorite way to mix up Ninja Creamis is with an immersion blender. A whisk or frother will also work.

If you remove the Ninja Creami pint from the freezer 5-10 minutes before processing, it's less likely to be crumbly and need a re-spin.

I purchased additional pints (linked below) and love to make these in batches over the weekend so we have easy treats/breakfasts throughout the week.
