Ingredients
- 10 oz (283.5g) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop (33.6g) unflavored whey protein powder
- 3 tbsp Swerve sugar substitute (granulated allulose blend)
- ½ cup (122.5g) pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ tsp guar gum (or xanthan gum)
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (for re-spin)
Instructions
In a small blender, combine almond milk, protein powder, sugar substitute, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and guar gum. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving some space at the top. Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours without the lid to avoid bumps.
After freezing, place the pint in the Ninja Creami bowl and process using the “Lite Ice Cream” setting. If the texture looks crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk and re-spin until creamy.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately! Add toppings like cinnamon or crushed graham crackers for extra flair.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with warm apple pie or sprinkle with cinnamon for a festive touch.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use high-quality protein powder for better flavor.
- Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for ~5 minutes before spinning for easier processing.
Storage & Reheating:
Store leftovers in the pint container with an airtight lid in the freezer for up to two weeks. To enjoy later, let it thaw slightly and re-spin in the Ninja Creami with a splash of almond milk if needed.
