CRUSHS Protein Ice Cream Mix

CRUSHS is a protein ice cream mix in powder form. Add milk, freeze, and spin in a Ninja Creami, churn in a traditional ice cream maker, or blend with ice. Each bag makes 8 pints.

One serving is 2 scoops (50g of dry mix) plus 10 to 12 oz of milk. The result is a full pint of creamy, scoopable ice cream with 23g of protein and 180 calories per pint from the dry mix alone. CRUSHS replaces complicated multi-ingredient protein ice cream recipes with a single mix that works every time. Compatible with all Ninja Creami models including the Ninja Creami Original, Ninja Creami Deluxe, Ninja Creami Lite, and Ninja CREAMi Swirl, as well as traditional ice cream makers from Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Breville, and others, plus standard blenders.

Ninja Creami owners often struggle with icy, crumbly, or powdery results when making homemade protein ice cream. Common DIY recipes call for protein powder, pudding mix, xanthan gum, guar gum, and multiple other ingredients that are difficult to get right. Even small changes in ratios can produce a pint that is too icy, too chalky, or needs three or four respins to reach a usable texture. CRUSHS was formulated specifically for the way the Ninja Creami freezes and spins. The blend of milk protein isolate, whole milk powder, heavy cream powder, and tara gum is balanced to produce a smooth, scoopable pint after one spin and one respin, without pudding mix or gums like xanthan or guar. If your Ninja Creami has been collecting dust because homemade recipes keep failing, this mix is designed to fix that.

CRUSHS also works in traditional ice cream makers and churns. The mix is built from the same types of dairy powders that commercial ice cream uses: milk protein isolate, whole milk powder, and heavy cream powder. These are not supplement-grade fillers. They are real ice cream ingredients, combined in a ratio that produces thick, creamy texture when churned. Mix 2 scoops with 10 oz of milk, refrigerate for 2 or more hours to let the powders fully hydrate, then churn per your machine's instructions. The result is a soft-serve consistency that you can eat immediately or freeze briefly for firmer scoops. For people who want homemade ice cream with better nutrition and clean ingredients, CRUSHS provides that without sacrificing the taste or texture of traditional ice cream.

Nutrition per serving (dry mix only, before adding milk): 180 calories, 23g protein, 4g total fat, 1g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 17g total carbohydrates, 0g added sugar, less than 1g total sugars. Protein comes from milk protein isolate, which is casein-dominant and slow-digesting. This is the same type of protein found in premium dairy ice cream, not whey concentrate. It does not produce the chalky taste or gritty texture associated with whey-based protein powders. Final nutrition will vary depending on the milk you choose. Using a lower-calorie milk like almond or skim will keep the pint closer to these base numbers. Using whole dairy milk or Fairlife will add protein, fat, and calories.
