Instructions

Add the base ingredients: add the milk, protein powder, yogurt, sweetener of choice, pudding mix, peppermint extract, vanilla, salt, and food coloring to an empty CREAMi™ Pint.
1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 scoop vanilla or mint protein powder, 3 Tbsp. full-fat Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp. sweetener of choice, 1 Tbsp. vanilla pudding mix, 2-4 drops peppermint extract, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, pinch of salt, 2-4 drops green food coloring
Whisk: whisk ingredients together, or I like using a milk frother to incorporate it. (If the ingredients ever look clumpy, try mixing the milk and protein powder first, then the remaining ingredients).
Freeze: freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours. (freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream, which can damage the blade, so be sure to leave it off).
Assemble: Remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
Spin it! Select Lite Ice Cream. It shouldn’t need another respin.
Mix-ins: you can just top the ice cream with your favorite mix-ins or use the mix in setting: use a spoon to create a small hole in the center, about 1 ½ inches wide. Place your favorite mix-ins in the center. Run the mix-in program one time.
chocolate chips or mint creme Oreos
Enjoy: remove the pint and enjoy right away with any more mix-ins on top!

Notes

If you don’t finish the pint (good luck😉), use a spoon to smooth and level out the top and place back in the freezer with the lid.

When ready to eat, re-spin on Lite Ice Cream.
