YOGHURT ISN'T CAKE

Slightly OT, but I bought a Ninja Creami a couple years ago, excited about all the crazy ice cream recipes and experiments I would find online. Little did I know that 99% of content creators with a Ninja Creami only make disgusting looking protein powder ice cream over and over and over. What’s the recipe for chocolate ice cream? Chocolate protein powder. And for vanilla ice cream? Vanilla protein powder. And for strawberry ice cream? Strawberry protein powder, of course. And so on.

I have nothing against adding protein to your diet/recipes but this is just ridiculous at this point.

Even the recipes from the book that came with it that aren’t protein based are just base ingredient (milk or oat milk or whatever), thickener, flavoring. Like, at that point, don’t print a ‘one hundred pages of recipes’ book, just have one page and be done with it.

What else is the recipe going to be? That’s the recipe for Ice Cream.

Cream, sugar, flavoring

If it’s the same amount of cream & sugar it sounds like it would be better if it were just the list of flavors and the amount to use for a “standard batch” of Ice cream.

The book does have that. It recommends you use some of their recipes as bases for your own.

The recipe book also isn’t that large - it has maybe twenty recipes, about half of them being ice cream (and lite ice cream) and the rest being sorbets, smoothies, milkshakes, gelatos, etc.
