This high protein Ninja Creami Protein Frozen Yogurt is a delicious frozen dessert that tastes far more indulgent than it actually is. Our favorite way to use this kitchen gadget and our go-to dessert when we are looking for something a bit lighter. This protein frozen yogurt is easy to adapt and made with just a few ingredients.

We are always trying to come up with low calorie desserts that are high in protein. We shared the Chocolate Frozen Yogurt recently, but this is a higher protein version as we have added some protein powder in too.

A creamy frozen yogurt that tastes absolutely delicious, and with a protein boost as well. A really easy way to boost your protein intake if you are struggling. Is there a more delicious way to increase your protein than protein powder ice cream too?

Ingredients and Substitutions

All the ingredients needed to make this recipe, each with a text overlay label.

A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Greek yogurt - We used a 0% fat Greek yogurt to make it lower in fat. However, you could use full fat which would make it extra creamy. Greek yogurt is used instead of cream in this Ninja Creami frozen yogurt recipe, but it has the same texture as ice cream. So good!
  • Protein powder - We used chocolate protein powder, but you can use can use any flavor to adjust the flavor of the protein frozen yogurt.
  • Coconut sugar - This is how we have sweetened it. The protein powder we used has sweetener in it too, so depending on what protein powder you use, you might need to adjust this.
  • Cacoa powder - This is where the extra chocolate flavor comes from. You can use an unsweetened cocoa powder instead if you prefer.

Variations and Mix-ins

Cocoa - If you didn't want to add in the protein powder, then you could swap it for more cocoa or cacao instead.

Sweetness - If you want it even sweeter, then you can add some extra coconut sugar or a liquid sweetener like honey, maple syrup or agave. We think it is sweet enough as it is though.

Mix-ins - When it comes to mixing things into the protein frozen yogurt, you can't go wrong with chocolate chips. We stick with Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Chips. You could mix in some crushed nuts too. To make it more indulgent, swirl in some caramel.

Protein Frozen Yogurt Serving Suggestions

Much like regular frozen yogurt - what can't go on it!? Think about when you go into an ice cream shop, and all the different toppings that you can choose from. The same goes for this chocolate protein frozen yogurt!

We kept it simple with just some dark chocolate chips. But, why not try our Homemade Chocolate Sauce too? You could also make some of our Homemade Healthy Nutella and drizzle that over it to make it extra chocolatey. Some granola on top adds a nice crunch too.

Our kids love adding sprinkles on to it and marshmallows too. Whilst we have just scooped this chocolate frozen yogurt recipe into a bowl, you can put it in a waffle cone to make it feel more like a treat.

Extra Tips

  • We used fat free Greek yogurt, to keep this a low in fat dessert. However, if you wanted it extra creamy, then full fat yogurt would be best.
  • Some recipes might say that if you are using fat free, then you need to add some heavy cream to it to increase the fat content and make it creamier. However, we didn't find that it made that much of a difference to the creaminess, so I wouldn't bother.
  • To combine everything together easier, you can use a milk frother or use a blender to blend everything first.
  • When putting the ingredients into the pint container, don't exceed the max fill line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store Ninja Creami protein frozen yogurt

This will harden again when it goes into the freezer, so we would recommend keeping it in the Ninja container, so it can be re-spun again when you are ready to eat the leftovers. You can also just leave the pint out of the freezer for 10 minutes until it softens and then scoop it. This will keep in the freezer for about 3 months.

Why is it still crumbly?

When making a healthy ice cream with just yogurt rather than cream, sometimes you have to re-spin it more times. If after all the re-spins it's still crumbly, then add a tablespoon of milk and re-spin again and it should be a creamy texture.
