Can I mix protein with kefir?

Yes, and I do it all the time! Mixing protein powder with kefir is the base of every High-Protein Kefir Ninja Creami Recipe (Probiotic-Packed and Gut-Friendly) I make. It creates a creamy, nutritious blend that’s ideal for freezing. Just use a clean, low-sugar protein powder and whisk it into the kefir until smooth. The tangy flavor balances the sweetness of most powders. Fully dissolving the powder is key—no clumps, no chalky texture after spinning.

How to make Ninja Creami more creamy?

From my kitchen trials, creaminess comes down to fat content, freezing technique, and re-spinning. If your base is very lean (like plain kefir), add full-fat coconut milk, banana, or a spoonful of almond butter. Always freeze the pint level, and never skip the Re-Spin. I’ve tested this on every High-Protein Kefir Ninja Creami Recipe (Probiotic-Packed and Gut-Friendly) variation, and a splash of liquid plus a second spin makes all the difference.

Is there a high-protein kefir?

Yes, and it’s getting easier to find. Some store-bought brands offer high-protein kefir made with ultra-filtered milk or added protein. But you don’t have to buy it. I blend plain kefir with a scoop of my favorite protein powder to make a custom high-protein base. That’s what I use for nearly every High-Protein Kefir Ninja Creami Recipe (Probiotic-Packed and Gut-Friendly) I serve at home. It’s budget-friendly, customizable, and consistently smooth after freezing.

Can you freeze kefir and eat it like ice cream?

Absolutely—and that’s the whole idea behind this recipe. Kefir freezes beautifully and spins into a soft-serve-like texture when prepped right. While it won’t taste exactly like traditional ice cream (thanks to its tang), it’s refreshing, light, and satisfying. With the right mix-ins and a solid Re-Spin, your High-Protein Kefir Ninja Creami Recipe (Probiotic-Packed and Gut-Friendly) will rival any frozen dessert—plus it keeps those gut-loving probiotics intact.

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together kefir, protein powder, banana (if using), honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint, leaving space at the top. Smooth the surface flat.
Freeze the pint flat for 12–24 hours.
Spin the frozen pint using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Smoothie Bowl” function.
If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of kefir or almond milk and use the “Re-Spin” function.
Mix in your favorite additions like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or crushed walnuts.
Serve immediately or store and spin again before next use.

Notes

Use a dry-erase marker to label the pint with mix-ins for easy tracking. Re-spinning with a bit of extra kefir perfects the texture.
