Ninja Creami Strawberry Recipe: High Protein, 250 Calories, Real Fruit

Strawberry is one of the most forgiving Ninja Creami flavours. Real fruit adds natural sugars that improve texture, natural acidity that brightens flavour, and a colour that looks genuinely appealing. This formula uses frozen strawberries in the base.

The formula

Key tip: use frozen strawberries picked at peak ripeness

Frozen strawberries consistently outperform mediocre fresh ones for flavour. Out-of-season fresh strawberries are often flavourless. Buy a quality frozen bag and the result is reliably good year-round.
