Why you’ll love this protein ice cream recipe

Before you roll your eyes and think, “How good can protein ice cream really be?” just listen for a sec. This strawberry cheesecake ninja creami is nothing like those icy, weird-tasting tubs at the store. It’s smooth, thick, gorgeous pink, and honestly makes my messy kitchen feel like a five-star restaurant (no lie).
First, the flavor smacks you with those real strawberries (not the fake stuff), then you get this creamy, tangy cheesecake thing happening. It tastes like dessert, but it’s actually sneakily healthy.
Also, you barely need any cooking skills. A bit of blending, some freezer action, and Ninja Creami does the heavy lifting. It’s like the ultimate lazy treat.
One bite and…well, you get that “can I have seconds?” feeling.
Here’s a little from a friend who tried it last weekend:

“I didn’t even know protein ice cream could be this creamy. Tastes like real cheesecake with strawberries! Legit, I’m obsessed.” — Jules

Is it healthy?

Okay, I get this question all the time. This strawberry cheesecake Ninja Creami is honestly way better than your usual pint. Lotta folks are shocked it’s got protein.
Instead of dumping in cups of sugar and heavy anything, it uses Greek yogurt and protein powder. That means you get a protein boost without weird aftertastes.
Plus, the strawberries pack vitamin C and real fruit flavor. The whole combo? It clocks in at fewer calories than traditional dairy ice cream. It fills you up way more than those light “diet” pints that…let’s be honest, just taste sad.
And, yep, if you watch macros, this recipe is seriously friendly. Even better if you skip the sweet crumbs on top (but I never do, ha).

Recipe tips and tricks

Here’s the real talk part. I’ve messed this up more than once, so…save yourself the headache.
If your protein powder’s a chalky mess, use half the amount or swap for a creamier brand.
Don’t rush the freezing. Overnight is golden. Less time equals sad, icy bits nobody wants.
Let your mix sit outside the freezer just a few minutes before spinning in the Ninja Creami. Trust me, the texture’s worth it.
If you want extra cheesecake flavor, crumble a graham cracker on top after churning. Game changer.
Oh, and if your strawberries are out of season, frozen works! Just blitz longer so it’s super smooth.

Customize it your way.

Nobody said you had to stick to the script (I sure don’t). This recipe begs for tweaks.
Swap in blackberries or blueberries if you’re not feeling strawberries. Want it sweeter? Add a spoonful of honey. Going vegan? Use plant-yogurt, plant protein, and go wild.
I even made a chocolate strawberry version once with cocoa powder tossed in. Kinda amazing, not gonna lie.
If you’re bold, throw in a drizzle of flavored syrup (I loved a squirt of sugar-free caramel). Make it crunchy with nuts, or keep it pure and smooth.
Don’t be afraid to taste and adjust before you freeze. I promise, no two batches ever taste quite the same—part of the fun.

How to store Ninja Creami ice cream

Short version: You can pop this strawberry cheesecake ninja creami in any freezer-safe container (I’ve used old yogurt tubs, no shame). Keep a piece of parchment on top so no weird freezer flavors sneak in.
Don’t freak out if it firms up after a day. Just let it sit out five minutes before scooping or run it through the Ninja Creami on “re-spin.”
Oh, and good luck making it last more than a week. Mine disappears by midweek every single time.

Serving Suggestions

Spoon it into a bowl and top with extra cut-up strawberries (looks fancy for zero effort)
Crumble graham crackers on top for the full cheesecake effect—super retro
Dollop a little whipped cream if you want to be extra
Sandwich it between two chocolate chip cookies and live your best life

Common Questions

Is this strawberry cheesecake ninja creami actually easy enough for beginners?
Yes, totally. If you can measure and stir, you’re good.

Do you need a special type of protein powder?
Nope, but if you want extra creamy, a whey isolate or a blend made for shakes works best.

What if I want it sweeter or more tart?
Tweak! A little extra honey for sweetness or a touch of lemon juice for tang. Trust your taste buds.

Can I prep it in advance for guests?
Absolutely. Spin it once, keep it in the freezer, then re-spin right before serving.

Any tips for avoiding freezer burn?
Cover well. Press parchment on top, seal it tight, and never leave it uncovered.
