Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla yogurt, sugar substitute, protein powder, vanilla bean paste, and guar gum into a small blender and blend until all of the ingredients have combined together. 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, pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. 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 chocolate chips. Process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Why is there yogurt in the chocolate chip ice cream?

The yogurt adds additional protein, helps create a thick and creamy texture, and adds a little bit of a tangy flavor!

Why are the chocolate chips chopped up?

When you add full-sized, whole chocolate chips to Ninja Creami ice cream, they get very cold and VERY hard. Also, you need a lot of whole chocolate chips to get them all throughout the ice cream. Chopping them up allows you to use fewer chocolate chips while still getting chocolate all throughout the ice cream!

Can I freeze the leftovers and respin?

You can, but the chocolate chips will get ground up and totally incorporated into the ice cream. For ice cream that has mix-ins already added, leftovers are better if they are allowed to sit on the counter for awhile until it softens up.
