TL:DR $226 dollars only gets you ice cream and sorbet depending on how much you know about cooking, but as a base line, you cannot mess up unless you're actively trying it.
$226 is steep, so I got the used one... but I also got 4 additional pints with silicon lids, came out to about the same price anyways.
It came in, was still dirty from the last owner but I deep clean anything I get anyways so it's not skin off my back.
THE BEST NATURAL THICKENING HIGH PROTEIN SOME CALORIES BASE: Take a cup of skim milk and water and put on the stove on low heat till slightly steaming or aromatic
OPTIONAL: add vanilla paste or fat soluble flavorings into the solution while it's heating up, you can also add salt or really anything soluble which won't break from the solution while it's heating up
crack open 2 eggs in a separate bowl and whisk till homogenized. add a 1/4th cup of the hot skim milk and water solution into the eggs and whisk to temper, then add the tempered eggs into the skim milk solution and keep on low heat stirring occasionally, leave the pot open so the solution can reduce. Once it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon take off heat and allow to cool to room temperature, take this cooled base of pasteurized eggs and milk, which should be around 239kcals and 21g protein and blend with your protein powder, thickeners/emulsifiers, or whatever, on it's own it holds up pretty well to a ben and jerry's pint when sweetened with honey or monk fruit/stevia. Plus eating this in the morning is seriously awesome, it feels like being a kid on a Sunday morning except you made it with adult stuff like eggs, milk, and protein so when you get to the afternoon you feel great and the whole process makes digestion really easy, sits pretty in your stomach as you do what you do. Does this beat the evil xanthan gum or fillers? Not by a long shot buddy.
ANYWAYS, here's my experience.
Guys, I put protein powder, skim milk, coco powder, and a banana in this thing, I had ice cream for breakfast in the morning. Not exactly though, it was more like a frozen fluff with ice crystals throughout and a mild taste. If you're cutting weight, this does taste and feel like heaven on earth. To those who don't like compromise between taste and macros, consider adding emulsifiers to the ice cream base before freezing like xanthan, guar gaur gum, or gelatin, this will disrupt the crystallization process during freezing, it's also good to source these crystallization inhibitors from natural fiber sources like fruit, banana is king when it comes to creaminess, however it will make your ice cream taste like banana + whatever you're trying to make. If these options aren't appealing try adding a neutral saturated fat or even a flavored animal fat like rendered fat, which you can treat like a cream infusion for aromatics like vanilla bean. While you might be confused at the idea of combining something like beef tallow and protein powder, it's important to note that during phases of fat loss, the inclusion of saturated fats and cholesterol is vital in supporting healthy hormone levels, which will ensure the preservation of lean mass and metabolic rate. The lower you go, the more fats you must consume to replace the absence of tissue your body utilizes in hormonal production, ESSPECIALLY FOR WOMEN. Only a rare minority can sustain and achieve low bodyfat percentage without following this rule. For guys, do well to remember anabolic compounds are hormones, no fat or cholesterol, no testosterone, less potential for maintaining or even cultivating lean mass during cutting phases. That being said, mixing emulsifiers with a controlled amount of saturated fat, and lower freezing point items, which could be something as simple as a cup of whole milk, skim milk, or a low calorie pudding mix will yield the greatest taste, macros, and compromise between natural and artificial inclusions in the diet.
Let me specify, I have ran multiple experiments with really bad tasting protein powder, bad tasting protein powder, good protein powder, and great protein powder.
The very first trials I ran, was a serving great powder and a serving bad powder, pretty equal to each other, only great powder, only good powder, only bad powder, and only very bad powder. All of these resulted in a slow digesting and more fulfilling substance. The very bad powder (very cheap unflavored whey isolate) was still terrible, I ran another batch where I froze it with strong flavorings, still made me gag. the bad powder (cheap vanilla splash) was barely tolerable, jumping from nothing cardboard taste to I don't wanna eat this. the good (chocolate milk isolate) and the great powder were pretty similar, but ice cream should be enjoyed in all forms, so the great powder (chocolate peanut butter isolate) won when it had melted a little bit and I got to taste it warmed up a little and frozen. Otherwise, if you like your ice cream firm and frozen, you just need it to be good/okay tasting protein powder.
Bottom line, the better tasting the powder you're using, the better this will be. You CAN, pass off a bad powder but that takes additional ingredients, you need strong tasting stuff like bananas and peanut butter. berries will not mask that whey flavor. The freeze itself does a great job at removing 75% of that horrible whey taste. Keep in mind though that's only because your tongue isn't warm enough to process the taste. Once it starts warming up to a soft serve stage, it's barely tolerable but not enjoyable like ice cream taste wise. What was disappointing is that even mixing the bad protein and the good protein together, the bad protein just made the whole thing suck. Saving grace was adding vanilla extract, a good amount of coco powder, a banana, and a tablespoon of peanut butter, and even then it was still mid for a bunch more calories.

Totally going to save me $’s
My family loves sorbet and has been buying a brand that is $6 per tub. With my Ninja Deluxe I can make two tubs in one batch for about $4. So I save $8 per batch. So after about 25 batches this unit has paid for itself. Plus I can control the calories, sugar and carbs.The Ninja has a good recipe book but it is very limited for Sorbets. I found others just doing a search and they work well. It’s a little work to make a batch as you need to premix, mash/stir, and then freeze. But it’s worth it. I found that 12 hours in the freezer is sufficient vs the 24 the instructions recommend

The setup was incredibly straightforward, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy to select exactly what you want. I love how the dial gives you the option to choose between “Scoopable” and “Drinkable” textures, allowing for ultimate customization based on your preference. The "Re-Spin" function is a game-changer for achieving that perfect consistency, especially when adding mix-ins.
One of the standout features is the versatility. From making indulgent ice cream to healthier options like lite ice cream and frozen yogurt, the possibilities are endless. I’ve experimented with everything from dairy-free recipes to high-protein options, and the results have always been fantastic. The machine handles different textures and ingredients effortlessly, providing a smooth, creamy outcome that rivals any store-bought treat.
Cleaning the Ninja Creami is also a breeze, which is a huge plus. The removable parts are dishwasher safe, and the machine itself is designed to minimize mess, making the whole process hassle-free.
Overall, the Ninja Creami has become a must-have in my kitchen. It’s perfect for anyone who loves experimenting with flavors and textures, or simply enjoys high-quality frozen desserts at home. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels like a premium product worth every penny. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to elevate their dessert game – you won’t be disappointed!
