Making blueberry ice cream in a Ninja Creami at home is a straightforward process that allows you to control the quality of ingredients and experiment with flavors. Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used, and they are typically cooked down to a compote before being mixed into the ice cream base. This ensures that the berry flavor is evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Blueberry ice cream can be enjoyed in various ways. It pairs wonderfully with other desserts such as pies, cakes, or even pancakes for an indulgent breakfast.
Whether you prefer it in a cone, a bowl, or as part of a creative dessert, blueberry ice cream is a versatile and delectable treat that brings a touch of summer to your taste buds year-round.

Why You Will this Ninja Creami Blueberry Ice Cream
So I’m lactose intolerant and I finally found a protein shake that I actually like and doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste. They had OWYN plant based protein shakes at Target and I picked one up.
This is by far my most favorite vanilla base combo yet. I blended an OWYN protein shake with ½ cup of Greek Yogurt and 3 tablespoons of vanilla pudding. It did need a respin on the first try so I added some protein shake to it.
If you don’t want vanilla try a pudding mix like pistachio, chocolate, or cheesecake flavor ice pudding mix. There are so many varieties to try!
Ingredients Needed Ninja Creami Blueberry Ice Cream
- 1 bottle of of vanilla OWYN protein shake – If you aren’t lactose intolerant like me use your favorite bottle of vanilla protein shake.

Best Ninja Creami Tips
- Ninja Creami’s can make smoothie bowls, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and even milkshakes!
- Do I need to wait 24 hours for Creami? No, My frozen yogurt was ready to be blended in the Ninja Creami after 6 hours. Add image
- Never ever use frozen fruit in your ninja creami, blend it first. That is how you ruin the blade.
- Protein drinks like Fairlife and Premiere work great in a Ninja Creami. For a dairy free or lactose free option try OWYN protein shakes.
- Respin! If the blending didn’t work the first time try adding some more juice or milk to it and do a second respin.
- The Ninja Creami is kind of loud when it is spinning in the machine. Just warning you before you attempt to make ice cream. 🙂
- Mix-ins: Try adding fresh fruit, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, Oreos, you name it!
- Run warm water around the frozen pint of ice cream to avoid icy edges.
