HOW TO MAKE MATCHA PROTEIN ICE CREAM
- Add all ingredients to a blender such as a nutribullet or vitamix and blend til smooth.
- Pour mixture in Ninja Creami pint cup and freeze overnight.
- For best result I like to run the sides of the cup under hot water, blend on the “light ice cream” setting, add a splash of milk and scrape down the sides of the cup then blend again.
TO MAKE WITHOUT A NINJA CREAMI-
- Blend all ingredients in a high powder blender and pour mixture into an ice cube tray. Freeze overnight til solid.
- Pop out ice cubes into a blender or food processor and add a splash of milk. Blend until desired consistency is reached.

Notes
FOR BLENDER VERSION/ NO NINJA CREAMI:
Blend all ingredients in high powered blender til smooth. Pour mixture into ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day pop mixture out of the ice cube tray into a blender with small splash of milk. You may have to stop and scrape down sides of blender multiple times/ splash in more milk as needed.
Add in 3- 4 dates for extra sweet, do 1 or 2 for less sweet.
