This powder didn't perform well in the Ninja Creami. Poor texture, off flavors, or weak macros — there are much better options in the rankings.
The Review
This one was a real miss for Creami builds. The artificial taste was almost unbearable, translating into a thin, chemical flavor rather than anything resembling nostalgic fruity cereal once frozen and spun. Even hoping to rescue it with cereal mix-ins was futile; the base flavor is just too off to justify building around. I'd skip it — there are better options at the same price.

About This Brand
Optimum Nutrition — #5 Brand · 4.3 avg
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 — 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.
