My Hip sidekick Angela absolutely loves her Ninja Creami Maker, and here’s what she has to say about it:

“I know several Hip team members have the fancy Wynter Ice Cream Machine, but a couple of months ago I got the Ninja Creami, it’s so awesome! It’s seriously the easiest thing ever to use. You can even throw in watermelon and mash it down and after it’s frozen make a one-ingredient sorbet.

I love being able to enjoy ice cream without a lot of added ingredients and I can keep the sugar and carb content low. With just a few simple ingredients, I’m able to create a yummy snack.

There are so many hacks and tips on social – like spinning it, then spinning for another minute and adding a little more liquid to make it smoother. A lot of people on TikTok are making keto ice cream using sugar-free Jell-o cheesecake pudding and the Fairlife Shakes from Costco & Sam’s. 😋

Angela makes her own version of a protein ice cream!

She starts off with a Fairlife shake in any flavor as her base. She then adds berries, bananas, and/or peanut butter. Top it off with some chocolate syrup, and that’s it! A super simple method that follows the eye-ball measurement method. 🤣

    Does anyone have an issue with the ice cream getting stuck between the layers of the mixing lid? Like in with the springs and mechanisms? It happens every time I use it and it’s such a pain to try to clean out 😩
