Scoop There It Is: Your New Favorite Ninja Creami Recipes

The Ninja Creami ice cream maker has revolutionized homemade treats. It advertises its ability to turn almost anything into a delicious dessert, but its price tag has caused some speculation about its practicality. In my experience, its ability to do just that makes it a very justifiable purchase. From sorbet to soft serve, this machine can do it all, so here are a few ideas for your next Creami snack. 

The beauty of these recipes is their versatility. You can make the chocolate or vanilla recipes and add any mix-ins you would like or substitute the fruit in one sorbet for another. With these bases, the possibilities are endless, so have fun experimenting and finding what works for you!

Note: I use monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar and fairlife dairy-free protein milk (chocolate or vanilla, depending on the recipe), but you can use the milk and sweetener of your choice.
