Method
 

  1. Add the Fairlife milk, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, pudding mix, vanilla extract, matcha powder, and optional vanilla creamer or syrup to a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. Make sure there are no cottage cheese curds or clumps of matcha left in the base.
  3. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure the mixture stays below the MAX FILL line.
  4. Place the lid on the pint and freeze it on a flat surface for at least 24 hours, or until completely solid.
  5. Remove the frozen pint from the freezer. Run the outside of the container under warm water for about 60 seconds to help loosen the frozen base from the sides.
  6. Place the pint into the Ninja Creami and spin it once using the Lite Ice Cream setting.
  7. Check the texture after the first spin. It will often look powdery or crumbly at this point, which is normal.
  8. Place the pint back into the machine and use the Re-Spin setting. If it still looks dry after the re-spin, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin it again.
  9. Once the matcha ice cream is smooth and creamy, you can eat it as-is or add the optional white chocolate chips.
  10. To add the white chocolate chips, make a small hole in the center of the ice cream, pour them in, and run the Mix-In setting. Serve immediately for the creamiest texture.

Notes

High-Protein Matcha Ninja Creami Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATION: This Creami should spin thick and creamy, not icy or flaky like flavored snow.
RE-SPIN TRICK: If the base looks powdery after the first spin, do not panic. Add a splash of milk to the center and run the Re-Spin cycle to smooth it out.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping cottage cheese for Greek yogurt will make the flavor tangier and slightly less rich.
LEFTOVER STORAGE: Creami leftovers will freeze solid again. You will need to flatten the top, freeze it, and do a re-spin when you want to eat the rest.
