When most people start a weight loss journey, the first thing they cut out is dessert. For years, the rule was simple: if you want to burn fat, you give up ice cream.
That single belief is why most diets fail within three weeks. Craving satisfaction isn’t a weakness—it’s human nature. The breakthrough came when high-protein, low-calorie kitchen gadgets revolutionized meal prep, letting you eat thick, creamy ice cream every night while staying in a calorie deficit.
Here is the exact recipe for the viral S’mores Graham Cracker Protein Pint—packing 50g of protein and just 360 calories for the entire container.

🛒 Ingredients Needed
-
1 Fairlife Chocolate Protein Shake (11.5 oz / 340ml) — or your favorite ready-to-drink chocolate shake
-
1 scoop (30g) Chocolate Whey/Casein Blend Protein Powder
-
1 tbsp (7g) Sugar-Free Chocolate Pudding Mix (instant)
-
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum (the secret ingredient for thick texture!)
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
Mix-in: 2 Graham Cracker squares (crushed)
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: The Base Mix
In a blender or directly in your Ninja Creami pint pint container, pour in the chocolate protein shake. Add the protein powder, sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix, xanthan gum, and sea salt.
💡 Pro-Tip: Sugar-free pudding mix and xanthan gum are mandatory! They prevent the low-fat liquid from turning into icy slush, giving you that soft-serve, silky consistency.
Step 2: Whisk & Freeze
Whisk the mixture thoroughly using a handheld milk frother or small whisk until completely smooth with no clumps. Place the lid on the pint and freeze on a level surface in your freezer for at least 24 hours.
Step 3: The First Spin
Remove the pint from the freezer. Place it into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami, lock it into place, and press the “Lite Ice Cream” button. Let the machine complete its cycle.
Step 4: The Secret Re-Spin Trick
When you open the lid after the first spin, the texture might look a bit powdery or crumbly—do not panic! This is normal for high-protein, low-fat mixtures. Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk (or warm water) right into the center, pop it back in, and press “Re-Spin”. It will emerge ultra-creamy and thick.
Step 5: The Graham Cracker Mix-In
Use a spoon to dig a small hole right down the middle of your spun ice cream. Drop in your broken graham cracker pieces. Put the pint back into the machine and press the “Mix-In” button for 30 seconds.
🍦 How to Enjoy
Garnish the top with two whole mini graham cracker squares for that authentic campfire s’mores aesthetic, grab a spoon, and dig in guilt-free!
