Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the caramel protein shake, apple sauce, caramel syrup, kool-aid powder, and guar gum into a small blender and blend together until all ingredients are completely combined. Pour the mixture into the 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 the chopped peanuts and chopped apple pieces down the center of the ice cream and then process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Should the apple be peeled before adding it to the ice cream as a mix-in?

You can peel the apple if you would like. Since the apple is chopped into such small pieces, you can't even tell there is still skin on the apple once it's been added to the recipe.

Can the peanuts and apples be chopped using a blender instead of by hand?

I don't recommend using a blender to chop up the apples and peanuts. If you do, you'll end up with peanut dust and applesauce instead of full pieces of both.

What type of Kool-Aid is used in this recipe?

Kool-Aid comes in a couple of different varieties. For this recipes, be sure to use the unsweetened, powdered Kool-Aid that comes in the little paper pouches. Do not use sweetened or premade Kool-Aid.
