“Oh my gosh, this machine is THE BEST! If you love custom ice cream and sorbet treats, this is it! Get one and enjoy living the CREAMi LIFE. I made amazing low-calorie, high-protein peanut butter cup ice cream, strawberry ice cream, and banana pineapple sorbet on my first go-around. I love that this machine comes with 5 containers so you can prep multiple batches ahead of time. Then whip it up in the machine when you’re ready for a frozen treat! You can use whatever milk, sweetener, and mix-ins you’d like.

There is a nice book with ideas to get you started. I joined the FB group to get more inspo too. Overall, the CREAMi is easy to use, makes wonderful ice cream, is easy to clean, and you can remix your leftovers so that they are fluffy and creamy again. Genius!”

I don’t know why it took me so long to get a Ninja Creami, but it is 100% worth all the hype you’ve been hearing! We love ice cream in our house – even my oldest son asks for ice cream on his birthday rather than a cake, so this machine is a game-changer for us. If you’ve ever seen the ingredients in many store-bought ice creams, they’re terrible, and the local good ice cream where we live is pricey. As a mom, I love that I have all the control over the ingredients in our ice cream, and it’s even better than anything we’ve bought!

Our favorite yet was the vanilla base in the Ninja Creami recipe book, and we used edible gluten-free cookie dough from Sweet Lorens – out. of. this. world.!!! Using the Ninja really intimidated me at first, but it’s honestly so simple to use – the hardest part is waiting a whole day for it to freeze! I could go on and on, but if you love ice cream, I’m tellin’ ya…ya need it, friends. – Hip Sidekick, Sara

We LOVE our Ninja Creami! My husband was on the keto diet for a while and missed eating sweets. After seeing so many keto-friendly recipes, we decided to take the plunge and try it out. There is a bit of a learning curve, but most of the recipes we’ve tried have come out great.

We mainly use it now to make sorbets because they are just so easy. Take a can of any fruit, freeze it, and it’s ready to go! I’d recommend it to anyone who loves frozen desserts! – Hip Sidekick, Liz
