High-Protein McFlurry Ninja Creami Recipe
I've had this nearly every day now and I'm not mad about it !!🍦💗
McFlurries are hands-down one of my favorite sweet treats—iconic, creamy, and nostalgic. But let’s be real, they’re not exactly the kind of thing you can eat every day without feeling a little sluggish. But now: this high-protein, healthier McFlurry recipe has completely changed the game for me. It’s made with minimal, wholesome ingredients, tastes absolutely amazing, and is totally customizable. I’ve been making this on repeat for the past couple of weeks, and I literally look forward to it every single day!!
Is It Really Like a McFlurry?
Honestly? Yes, but better. The best thing about it: you get all the creamy goodness of a McFlurry without the sugar overload. Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder give the base its creamy texture and pack in the protein, while almond milk keeps it light and smooth. A pinch of salt and a touch of vanilla take the flavor to the next level—it doesn’t taste “healthy” at all, just straight-up delicious.
Plus, the toppings? Totally your call. I went for big smarties (because they’re just my fav), but Oreos, M&Ms, or even chopped fruit would be equally delicious.
What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe
To make this healthier McFlurry, I’d recommend using a Ninja Creami. It’s a total game-changer for making creamy frozen treats at home—just pop in the frozen base and hit a button for that perfect McFlurry texture.
Don’t have one? No problem! You can blend the base in a high-speed blender, but the Creami really gives that smooth, soft-serve vibe. Other than that, you only need a few simple ingredients and an electric whisk to mix everything before freezing. Super easy!
Prep Time: 5 minutes I Freeze Time: 24 hours I 2 servings
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1-2 tsp honey (optional)
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp chopped big smarties (or your fav toppings)
Instructions:
Mix It Up: Toss all the base ingredients into the Ninja Creami container. Use an electric whisk to mix it until smooth.
Freeze: Pop the container into the freezer for 24 hours.
Creamify: Take it out, put it in the Ninja Creami, and run the "Lite Ice Cream" or "Smoothie Bowl" cycle.
Fix the Texture: If it’s too firm, add a splash of almond milk and re-spin.
Top It Off: Stir in your big smarties (or mix-ins of choice) and serve!
Tips & Notes
For Creaminess: Make sure to whisk the ingredients before freezing. It helps everything blend together perfectly, so don’t skip it!
Sweetness Adjust: If your protein powder is already sweet, you can skip the honey. But if you’re feeling extra, drizzle a bit more on for a sweeter treat.
Texture Hack: If it’s too icy after spinning, just add a tablespoon or two of almond milk when you re-spin to get that perfect creamy consistency.
Substitutions:
Milk: Almond, oat, or cashew milk all work great—choose your favorite!
Protein Powder: Try switching up the vanilla for chocolate or cookies & cream for a fun twist.
Toppings: Go wild with toppings! Crushed graham crackers, peanut butter drizzle, or even mini marshmallows all make great options.
