Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups oat milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

Milkshake Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup oat milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (preferably lower-sugar or sugar-free)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: Whisk together the oat milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder in a bowl until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and freeze for 12 to 24 hours until it solidifies.
  3. Add Milkshake Ingredients: Remove the lid from the frozen pint, add the 1/2 cup oat milk and 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup directly into the container.
  4. Spin on Milkshake Setting: Place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the milkshake function to blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir and Respin: Remove the pint, stir the mixture gently to incorporate any separated ingredients, and respin on the milkshake setting for an extra thick and smooth milkshake consistency.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately for a thick milkshake that melts quickly or store leftover milkshake in the pint container in the freezer for up to one week.
  7. Reheat Tips: Allow leftovers to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, add one tablespoon of oat milk, and respin on the milkshake setting before serving again.

Notes

  • Tip: Swap oat milk for soy milk to maintain a creamy texture while increasing the protein content.
  • Store: Keep any leftover milkshake in a Ninja Creami pint container in the freezer for up to one week.
  • Serve: For the best texture after freezing, let the milkshake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, add a tablespoon of milk, and respin on the milkshake setting.
