Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 12 Fluid Ounces Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 Scoop Unflavored Whey Protein Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Allulose Granular Sugar Substitute
- ½ Teaspoon Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid Mix Unsweetened- Just the mix
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
- ¼ Teaspoon Guar Gum
- 10 Drops Blue Food Coloring

Instructions
Make the Ice Cream Mixture
- Pour the almond milk, protein powder, sugar substitute, Kool-Aid powder, vanilla bean paste, guar gum, and blue food coloring into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.
Process the Ice Cream
- After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
- Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
- If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
- Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the chopped cookies. Process on mix-ins.
- Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!
Notes
Do you make the Kool-aid according to the directions on the package before adding it to the ice cream base recipe?
No. For this recipe, you will only be using the unsweetened Kool-aid powder. Do not mix it with water or sugar before adding it to the ice cream base.
Can you add whole cookies as mix-ins?
You can, but the machine will not break the cookies up very much during the mix--ins process. I recommend cutting the cookies into smaller pieces before using them as mix-ins if you want them to be mixed throughout all of the ice cream.
What do you do if the ice cream comes out powdery after spinning?
If the ice cream is dry and powdery, add a tablespoon or two of liquid and respin it. Don't add to much though. If you do, the texture will be much less firm and more like soft-serve.
