Equipment

Ninja Creami

Ingredients

1 cup fruit (I used cherries, blueberries, and zucchini) 1 ½ cups for Ninja Creami Deluxe
½ banana up to 1 banana for Ninja Creami Deluxe
½ cup liquid (I used almond milk) ¾ cup for Ninja Creami Deluxe

Instructions

Place all your fruits and veggies in your Ninja Creami pint container.
Include any other additions, like protein powder or nut butter.
Pour liquid in making sure not to fill past the liquid fill line of your container. Place storage lid on top.
Place in the freezer with the top side up on a flat surface. Freeze overnight or for 24 hours.
When ready to eat, take the pint out of your freezer. I like to run warm water over the container for about a minute before I process it but it isn't necessary.
Take the storage lid off your pint and place the container in the Outer Bowl of the Ninja Creami. Twist the outer bowl lid on (make sure the blade is securely attached) and place the bowl assembly on the motor base. Twist the bowl assembly up until it reaches the top and won't twist anymore.
Now it is time to process or ‘spin.' Select ‘smoothie bowl’ option on a standard Ninja Creami, or the ‘lite ice cream’ option on the Ninja Creami Deluxe.
I usually add a little splash of liquid after the first spin and respin one or two more times until I get the consistency I like. You can keep respinning without adding more liquid but I get the best results when I add the liquid. The smoothie is so thick to begin with that adding a splash more liquid doesn’t affect the results. It doesn't take much liquid to get the texture right on the respin!
Whether you want to enjoy it right out of the Ninja Creami Pint or transfer it to a bowl, add your favorite toppings and dig in!

Notes

Other optional add-ins include: Protein powder and fat (in the form of nut butter, seeds, or avocado)
Topping Ideas: seeds, nuts, shredded coconut, fresh fruit, cacao nibs, nut butter, and/or granola
Your fruit can be fresh or frozen when you put it into the container. You are going to freeze it anyway.
The nutrition facts are based off the smoothie that I made in the post. They will differ depending on what ingredients you choose to use.
The nutrition facts will also change depending on what toppings you use.
For a more balanced meal, add some protein and fat, either in the smoothie mixture or in your toppings.
