A decent option for Ninja Creami protein ice cream. Works well enough, but there are better choices in the rankings. Decent option if it's on sale.

The Review

Strawberry flavor is artificial and gets lost in the pint. The base ends up thin and candy-like rather than creamy strawberry, which is disappointing for an ice cream build. Even with mix-ins there just isnโ€™t enough real strawberry character to carry the pint. There are much better strawberry protein options if you're targeting a Creami-friendly flavor.

Not Recommended

Optimum Nutrition is a household name in protein, but their powders don't translate well to the Ninja Creami. Across 5 flavors tested, the average score sits at 4.0 โ€” the lowest of any brand we've reviewed. The texture tends to be icy and the flavor profile is flat compared to brands built with ice cream in mind. We'd recommend spending your money elsewhere for Creami-specific use.
