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
The texture is passable, but the vanilla profile lacks depth for a full serving. Its ingredient list includes artificial components, and superior alternatives are available. This product is not worth a repeat purchase.

Flavor Accuracy
Does it taste like what it says on the label? Artificial notes are penalized.
Creami Texture
How smooth and creamy does it spin? Icy or grainy results score lower.

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.
