About This List

I've spun 500+ pints testing 58+ protein powders in the same Ninja Creami recipe — same milk, same machine, every time.

Every score is based on taste, texture, and macros. No sponsorships. No affiliate-driven rankings.

How I Score Them →

How the Tier List Works

Every powder on this list was tested in a Ninja Creami using the exact same base recipe: one scoop of protein powder, 375g Fairlife 2% milk, erythritol, non-fat milk powder, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum — spun on the Ice Cream setting. Scores reflect taste (35%), texture (35%), macros efficiency (15%), and overall repurchase intent (15%). S-tier powders score 9.0+ and produce elite pints every time. A-tier (7.5–8.9) are consistent daily drivers. B-tier (6.0–7.4) are solid with minor trade-offs. C-tier powders scored below 6.0 — noticeable issues, better options exist.
