Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Matcha Ice Cream

  • 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey

For the Strawberry Milk

  • ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • ½ scoop strawberry protein powder optional but great for some additional protein
  • 2-3 large fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Mix your base. Pour almond milk directly into the Ninja Creami pint container leaving room to combine vanilla protein, matcha powder, and honey. Use a milk frother or bamboo whisk for best results & mix until fully combined.
  • Freeze. Secure the lid and freeze for at least 8 hours (up to 24 hours).
  • Spin it. Insert your frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the "Lite Ice Cream" function.
  • Respin. Add a splash of almond milk or prepared matcha (not powder), just enough to cover the top of the pint. Run the "Respin" function for that perfect creamy texture.
  • Blend the milk. In a blender, combine almond milk, strawberry protein powder, and strawberries until smooth.
  • Assemble. Scoop ice cream into a glass or matcha bowl, then pour strawberry milk over top & enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Tricks
  • Use a matcha whisk or small metal whisk in a circular motion to fully blend your matcha powder before freezing if you do not have a milk frother.
  • Don’t skip the respin! it’s the best part for that creamy ice cream finish.
  • You can also make this with matcha ice cream from the store if you’re short on time. Or, simply use your favorite vanilla ice cream and a matcha shot or two for a more classic version!
  • Optional toppings: dark chocolate, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or a dusting of powdered strawberry.
