Serving Suggestions
We like to enjoy our Oreo Ninja Creami Protein dessert as a standalone treat or with a variety of toppings. We love the balanced macros in each serving. Our go-to additions include sugar-free chocolate syrup light whipped cream or extra crushed Oreos. Consider these ideas:
- Drizzle melted nut butter for extra richness
- Sprinkle chopped nuts or granola for crunch
- Add a handful of fresh berries for natural sweetness
We serve it in a chilled bowl or glass to keep the creamy texture intact. You can also pair it with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream or layer it with Greek yogurt for a guilt-free parfait. Here is a quick reminder of the approximate macros per serving:
| Serving Size | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 portion | 20g | 15g | 5g | 160 |
We sometimes freeze leftover portions in separate pint containers for easy grab-and-go snacks. A quick spin in the Ninja Creami restores the smooth swirl. If we want added flavor we blend in more crushed cookies or adjust the sweetness with sugar-free syrup before refreezing.
Make-Ahead And Storage Tips
We prepare the Oreo Ninja Creami protein base the night before to let the flavors develop. We whisk the ingredients. Then we pour the mixture into freezer-safe pints. We keep the filled pints in the freezer for up to 24 hours before churning. This timing gives us a smooth swirl with minimal icy spots.
We keep leftover portions in sealed containers for quick treats on busy days. We label each container with the freeze date to track freshness. We re-spin the frozen mixture in the Ninja Creami if the texture becomes firm. We add a splash of almond milk or nonfat milk to restore creaminess.
We store any extra crushed Oreo cookies in a small airtight bag. We keep that bag in a cool dry place for up to one week. We sprinkle them on top when serving to maintain a crunchy contrast.
| Storage Method | Maximum Duration | Tips For Best Texture |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing the base for first spin | 24 hours | Ensure pints are sealed tightly to prevent ice crystals |
| Leftover frozen dessert | 2 weeks | Re-spin as needed and add a small splash of milk if too firm |
| Crushed Oreo cookies | 1 week | Keep in an airtight bag to preserve crispness |
