Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream is a quick way to make a creamy, high protein treat at home. It uses milk, protein powder, a little pudding mix, and crushed Oreos for the classic cookies and cream taste. You can whip it up in the Ninja Creami machine with just a few steps and a pint container. This recipe shines when you want dessert that also gives a protein boost after a workout or as a snack. The base stays smooth and not icy if you follow the freeze and machine steps. Kids and adults both like the cookie pieces in each bite. You can change milk or protein types to fit your goals. For lighter options, use a low calorie milk and a sugar free pudding mix. For richer options, pick a creamier milk. I also use tips from other quick high protein recipes to plan treats and meals. Try it after a long day or pack a pint for a road trip. Make sure to freeze it fully so the Creami can spin it into a soft, scoopable texture. Add cookie bits for crunch and extra flavor. You will enjoy.

How to Make Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream
Ingredients You’ll Need
1 1/2 cups milk (I use Fairlife for higher protein content), 1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder, 2 tbsp vanilla instant pudding mix (sugar-free or regular), 3-4 Oreos (crushed)
Step-by-Step Directions
Mix protein powder, pudding mix and milk in Ninja Creami pint container using a small whisk or spoon until combined.
Freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
Place pint container in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure lid with blade, install onto machine. Run lite ice cream mode x1, check consistency.
Run re-spin mode x1 if needed.
Scrape down sides to remove any iciness and create a hole in the center of the pint (make sure it goes all the way down for even distribution). Add crushed Oreos and secure lid.
Run on mix-in mode.
Scoop and enjoy!
How to Serve Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream
Serve scoops in small bowls or straight from the pint. Top with extra crushed Oreos or a light dusting of cocoa for a richer look. For a party, serve pints with easy snacks like a warm dip such as 20-minute baked cream cheese and chili dip nearby so guests can pick savory bites and sweet scoops. Use small spoons so each person can enjoy the cookie bits. Let it sit a minute if it is too firm before scooping.

How to Store Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream
Store the pint in the freezer with its lid on. Keep it upright on a level shelf to avoid freezer burn. For best texture, eat within one week. If it gets too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then re-spin in the Creami on re-spin mode for a scoopable texture.
Tips for the Best Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream
Use full freeze time: 24 hours gives the best texture.
Whisk well so the powder and pudding mix dissolve with no lumps.
Make a deep center hole before adding mix-ins so the cookie pieces spread evenly.
If you use a thick protein powder, add a little more milk to reach a pourable pourable base.
Crush Oreos into small pieces for easier mixing.
Recipe Variations (if any)
Swap vanilla protein for chocolate for a chocolate cookie twist.
Use sugar-free pudding and low sugar milk to cut added sugar.
Add a spoon of peanut butter for a cookies-and-peanut-butter version.
Replace Oreos with chocolate wafer cookies or sandwich cookies you prefer.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use plant milk instead of dairy milk?
A: Yes. Use a plant milk that freezes well, like oat or soy, but texture may vary slightly.
Q: Can I use a different protein powder?
A: Yes. Any vanilla or neutral flavored protein powder works. Adjust milk to reach a smooth base.
Q: How long does it take to freeze the pint?
A: Freeze at least 24 hours on a level surface for best results with the Ninja Creami.
Q: Can I add more cookies after the first mix?
A: Yes. Add more crushed cookies and run mix-in mode again for extra crunch.
