One of the most difficult parts of any fitness journey is changing your mindset around food. Cutting certain foods out and incorporating new ones into your diet can be challenging for many people, and that's okay! Here at AstroFlav, we want to help you along your fitness journey by providing you with delicious (and healthy) recipes that will keep you dedicated to your fitness journey while allowing you to enjoy what you eat.
Is anyone else influenced to jump on the new Ninja Creami trend? Well good news! We are back with another Ninja Creami recipe and this one is for all the candy bar lovers out there! Almond Joy Protein Ice Cream is on the Healthier You menu today for the perfect chocolatey dessert! Highlighting Chocolate IsoMix, one of our original flavors, for a protein-packed recipe!
Almond milk - I use Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk but any kind of dairy or non dairy milk works.
AstroFlav Chocolate IsoMix - One of our best-selling protein powders. Cinna Crunch flavor to give a Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor.
Toasted Coconut Greek yogurt - I used Chobani Zero Sugar to add to the coconut taste... Dannon, Two Good, and Oikos all have coconut flavored Greek yogurt as well.
Zero calorie sweetener - SF maple syrup made this recipe nice and sweet.
Coconut flakes - Healthy fats & tastes just like the center of an Almond Joy!
Almond slices - It wouldn't be an Almond Joy recipe without the almonds!
Chocolate chips - I used semi-sweet, but any style of chocolate chips will work!
Ninja Creami Machine
High speed blender (if you do not own Ninja Creami)
Kitchen scale or measuring cup
Milk frother (or a whisk will work)
If you do not have a whisk, a milk frother works very well to mix ingredients together.
For best ice cream consistency, allow ingredients to freeze for 24 hours or overnight.
After the first spin, remove from Creami and push the middle of the ice cream down with a spoon. Then add in milk and toppings before re-spinning.
Base:
200 ml unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup Chobani Zero Sugar Toasted Coconut Greek Yogurt
1 scoop (30g) AstroFlav Chocolate Protein Powder
1-2 TBS - SF Maple Syrup
1/4 cup coconut flakes
Toppings:
Sliced almonds
Coconut flakes
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a Ninja Creami pint container, whisk together all ingredients except cereal. Freeze for at least 10-12 hours or 24 hours for best ice cream texture.
Once frozen, take out of freezer and place in Ninja Creami. Press ‘light ice cream’ setting.
Once that is done, the ice cream may be crumbly. Press down the middle of ice cream and add in a bit more almond milk followed by a handful of coconut flakes, almond slices, and chocolate chips.
Place back in Creami and press 'respin.'
Once that is done, remove from Ninja Creami and add the rest of the toppings. If you would like a creamier ice cream, you can place in the Creami and press 'respin' for another spin!
Substitutes:
Almond milk: Can use dairy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
Sweetener: Swap SF maple syrup for Splenda, Stevia, honey, or real maple syrup.
Chocolate protein powder: AstroFlav Chocolate works best to create a chocolate taste. Vanilla, Chocolate PB, or even Cookies & Cream would work for this recipe!
