  2. Blend well until the mixture is completely smooth and the cream cheese has fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and secure the lid.

Notes

  • Whey-based protein powders produce the smoothest texture. If using plant-based protein, expect a slightly icier result add 1–2 extra tablespoons of milk during re-spin for creamier consistency.
