Jen’s Protein Nice Creams 3 – High-Protein Ice Cream

Book 3 is live on Amazon!!!

Jen’s Protein Nice Creams 3 (My Amazon affiliate link)

My goals are high-flavor ice creams that are high-protein, high-produce where it works, and low-fat!

I got every ice cream shop classic out there in the first two books. So what’s in book 3? Book 3 is the foodie edition. I created wonderful flavors that aren’t in ice cream shops, but I think you’ll agree that they should be! Absolutely silly to fabulously gourmet. Total kitchen flex, but in terms of creativity, not necessarily any harder. There’s one 3 ingredient wonder in here that will refresh you on the hottest days! And when I asked friends if I missed any flavors in the first two books, they talked about mix-ins, so I’ve perfected three fabulous bases to empower you to fill with whatever delights you!

Jen’s Protein Nice Creams. 30 flavors in each book – a whole ice cream shop in 40 pages! (I went a little past that this time…*) It’s all stripped-down content with no fluff. Hard for a blogger to shut up, but I very intentionally did, so they’re sized like fat comic books rather than hefty texts. Hope you love them, too!

A few friends messaged that a specific milk and cottage cheese don’t work for their bodies, so I give alternatives on page 6 of each book, how to swap in tofu to convert the recipes to to-fruities**! The macros are really close, but I give the adjustments to the numbers there, too.

I include the macros by ingredient for each flavor so you can swap out for allergies / preferences / favorites… The nutrition facts (protein grams, fat grams, carb grams, and calories) come directly off the nutrition labels where available or MyFitnessPal for things without labels like fruit. I am a massive flavorist! No puddings and no gums! They taste like pudding and I want my ice creams to taste like delicious decadent ice cream!

Love, your foodie friend

*Amazon gave me the same cup of coffee for print books 1&2, and ebook 1. This is a little bigger, so the price is a few dollars higher, but I’m actually getting a slightly smaller coffee. Didn’t want anyone to think I was taking advantage of your love and support!*

**There is one flavor that I don’t think is going to work with the tofu swap. Cracker Jaqueline. *IF* you stubbornly go for it, please message me and let me know what you thought!**

Hope you love it!!! Here’s a peek at the flavors/macros inside.

Next! You need a machine!

I have the Ninja Creami Deluxe 11-in-1. The containers hold 24 oz and it has the most settings. All of my recipes are made for these 24 ounce containers. Those 24 oz containers are perfect for the hub and I to split. This machine is amazing!

The Ninja Creami 7-in-1 is also highly rated. It has a few fewer functions and the containers are 16 oz. If you’re going this route, just make 2/3 of each of my recipes and modify the nutritional info to 2/3!

An immersion (stick) blender.

Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender. This fits right into the container, so you can mix your base without having any extra dishes. It makes it all streamlined. You could do it in a food processor, but that’s a lot of cleaning after each flavor. The immersion blender makes it so easy and tidy that you’ll use it all the time! (And not ice cream related, but combining a stick blender and a mason jar, sauces and dips are a breeze!)

Extra containers!

The Ninja Creami Deluxe comes with 2 containers. After you blend your base, you have to stick it in the freezer for 24 hours before it goes in the Creami. I bought two extra sets of 4 containers so that I’d have a total of 10 to work with. I went with generic. They are cheap and work just as well! BE SURE TO GET THE RIGHT CONTAINERS FOR YOUR MACHINE!!!! THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE!

4 pack of the 24 oz Deluxe size 4 pack of the 16 oz 7-in-1 size

Wine glass covers.

10 Silicone Mug Cup Covers. Huh???? Yeah. Things expand when they freeze. The top of your concoction is perfectly level when you put it in your freezer. You pull it out and some weird frozen sculpture is trying to emerge from the surface. We don’t want to break our Creami blade! What to do? Some people put their mixtures in the freezer with the lids off until they freeze. Others shave down the icy protrusion. I just pop a wine glass cover right on the mixture’s surface and pop my lid on. Solved!

Protein powders

The first two are the main two I use for everything! (I’m putting links for the 2 lb containers, but the 5 lb are more economical!) The next three are fabulous, one recipe powders to add to your collection after the main two!

All 3 books Vanilla ice cream whey Extreme milk chocolate whey
Book 1 only Girl Scout Thin Mint Girl Scout Coconut Caramel S’mores whey (Amazon only has the 5 lb right now. I’ll update the link when the put the 2 pound back up.)
Books 2 and 3 Ryse Jet-Puffed (Several flavors and I’m in love with this stuff!!! It’ll be in book 3, too!)
Book 2 only Quest Salted Caramel
Book 3 only Unflavored Collagen – lots of recipes Vanilla Casein – 1 recipe

Sweeteners

The first two are my main. I just use the confectioner’s version for red velvet, but you could totally use plain. Absolutely sub in whatever your favorite sweetener is!

Regular Swerve, Brown Sugar Swerve, Confectioner’s Swerve – There’s an Amazon pack with all 3!

Extracts

Sometimes, even with 1 ½ to 2 cups of fabulous fruit in the concoctions, the flavor just wants a little boost to push it from yummy to fabulous! I love extracts.

Vanilla extract Almond Extract Rum extract Butter extract Strawberry extract Raspberry extract

Peach flavor Buttery sweet dough emulsion Boiled cider

Add to the bin for Book Two Mango Coconut

Add to the bin for book 3 Vanilla Bean Paste Cream cheese icing flavor Caramel flavor
Butterscotch flavor Rose water

Other Stuff

PB Fit (low fat peanut butter powder)

Max Mallows (zero sugar marshmallows) Only a 6-pack is available now. I’ll update this link when 1 or 3 are back up. Burnt Caramel flavor Max Mallows – pack of 6
Jordan’s Skinny Sauces Salted Caramel Fun addition, BUT!!!! It’s like a jack in the box. You lightly squeeze and nothing. A tiny bit more pressure and a violent stream rockets out! I look like Will Ferrell in Elf squeezing it in the most tentative manner. I just increased the size of the hole and it’s less dramatic. lol!

Jen’s Protein Nice Creams: Unofficial guide to high-protein ice creams in the Ninja Creami™ Deluxe

My daughter kept putting on and taking off a Ninja Creami from her wish list. I had to see what the fuss was about. I kept seeing post after post of what looked like the stuff gym-lovers’ dreams were made of, protein shakes in ice cream form. I didn’t have a Ninja Creami, but I did have a killer ice cream maker. Yeah, I make some amazing gelato and ice cream.

I pulled out my ice cream maker and tried a few recipes I found. Intriguing, but not great. My ice cream maker is the absolute best for gorgeously fatty concoctions, but an uneven hot mess for much lower fat and higher protein formulas. The mixtures would freeze hard like cement at the very outer edges and then it would want to stop turning to finish the center. I was having a hard time scraping it out of there and making a ridiculous mess of myself and the kitchen.

And the recipes I was finding weren’t thrilling me. Pudding’s great, but I don’t want my ice cream to taste like pudding. I want it to taste like ice cream!
