Flavor of the week
Ben & Jerry's Half Baked is a classic for a reason.
It has everything…
Chocolate and vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, and brownie bites.
So I recreated it in the Creami.
But this time with the new twist method.
The people have been loving it and honestly... they're right to.
Check it out.
Rapid Reviews
This week we're looking at Yough! pizza.
$11 for a frozen pizza.
A little steep, but hear me out…
The dough is actually made with greek yogurt.
And it tasted just like a frozen pizza you'd get from Trader Joe's.
If the protein isn't high enough for you...
Add toppings.
I threw two chicken sausages on mine.
Which brought it up to 820 calories and 66 grams of protein.
It's perfect for dinner.
The verdict:
8.1/10.

In the Lab
For a while I was using a hand frother to mix my Ninja Creami bases.
Then one day I was making a pint at home and my dad walked in the kitchen.
He took one look and immediately asked “why aren't you using the immersion blender?”
At first, I brushed him off.
The immersion blender is more of a setup and it's harder to clean.
It all felt like too much.
But I couldn't stop thinking about what my dad said.
So a few days later I tried the immersion blender…
And, as parents usually are, he was right.
Here's the problem with the frother:
It doesn't actually blend anything.
It just mixes.
So all of the dry ingredients just sink to the bottom.
Which means the top half of your Creami pint is flavorless…
And the bottom is icy and dense.
The immersion blender changes everything.
It turns the base into one homogeneous mixture.
It's creamier, thicker, and an overall more consistent pint from top to bottom.
On top of all of that, it unlocks bases with nut butters and fruits.
I'm never going back.
Oh also, a few people mentioned they use a regular blender.
I'd say this is a last resort.
It creates a lot of foam which then throws the texture off when you put it in the Ninja Creami.
Pro tip: keep the immersion blender at the bottom of the pint and rotate it around slowly.
Drag it up and you'll have milk all over your counter. Trust me, I've done this too many times.
