    With warmer weather and strawberries in season, this Ninja Creami, keto strawberry milkshake is sure to please and serves as filling, high-protein snack or dessert!

    This keto strawberry milkshake tastes just like an old-fashioned strawberry milkshake: it's thick and creamy and full of strawberry flavor with the right amount of sweetness. But, thankfully, it comes without the guilt!

    It's a healthier strawberry milkshake since it's made with unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, organic strawberries, and erythritol sweetener. It's high in protein (39 percent of calories come from protein), low in calories (just 97 calories per serving), low in carbs (6.9 grams of net carbs), and sugar-free. And one serving is a full, tall glass.

    Making this strawberry milkshake in the Ninja Creami is pretty darn easy. You simply blend some of the ingredients in a blender and then freeze in a Ninja Creami container for 24 hours. After that, it's ready for the Ninja Creami to turn into a milkshake, which takes less than 10 minutes.

    Ingredients

    Keto strawberry milkshake ingredients in bowls and labeled.

    Unsweetened almond milk: We use unsweetened almond milk since it's keto-friendly and low in calories. You may substitute with another type of low-carb milk like unsweetened macadamia milk.

    Vanilla protein powder: We use a vanilla whey protein powder to increase the protein in this milkshake. Our favorite vanilla protein powder is Quest Vanilla Milkshake. However, you may use your favorite vanilla protein powder.

    Powdered erythritol: We use Swerve Confectioners Sweetener, but you can use any brand of erythritol sweetener.

    Organic strawberries: We recommend purchasing organic strawberries since non-organic strawberries are exposed to a high level of pesticides. If you prefer, you can use frozen organic strawberries, just be sure to thaw before slicing.

    Guar Gum: Guar gum is thickening agent that helps create a creamy texture in milkshakes and ice creams. You may substitute with xanthan gum, but the texture may not turn out as creamy.

    HOW TO MAKE

    STEP 1: Combine ¾ cup almond milk, protein powder, erythritol and guar gum in a blender or food processor and pulse until fully blended.

    STEP 2: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure lid and place in the freezer. Let freeze for at least 24 hours.

    STEP 3: After freezing, remove pint container from freezer. Take lid off pint container and place in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Briefly set aside.

    STEP 4 & 5: Next, make the strawberry mixture. Combine strawberries and ⅓ cup almond milk in a blender and mix on high until smooth in consistency.

    STEP 6: Install the Creami paddle into the outer bowl lid, place the lid on the outer bowl and lock into place according to the instructions in the Creami manual. Select the Lite Ice Cream mode (since you need to make into an ice cream first), and it will spin for several minutes.

    STEP 7: When it stops spinning, take the container out and assess the consistency of the ice cream. If it's powdery in texture as shown in picture 7 (as opposed to creamy and smooth), then you'll need to respin.

    STEP 8 & 9: After it's done respining, take out the outer bowl and assess the ice cream consistency. If it's somewhat smooth and creamy, as shown in picture 8, then pour the blended strawberry mixture in the center of the ice cream.
