Why You Will Love This Ninja Creami Strawberry Milkshake

Okay, so you want reasons? Here goes. First off, this shake tastes like a summer picnic but inside your kitchen. Seriously, you’ll wonder why grocery store milkshakes even exist after you’ve tried this. The Ninja Creami just nails that thick, ultra-smooth, five-star restaurant vibe—no joke, it’s that good.

It also feels like a bit of a cheat code if you’ve got leftover strawberries about to give up the ghost. Toss ’em in! Plus, unlike some weird recipes, you’re not adding mysterious hard-to-pronounce stuff to get the dream texture. Just real ingredients and—well, maybe a little nostalgia if you grew up slurping strawberry shakes with a bendy straw. If you want more ideas for next-level treats, slide over to these delicious Ninja Creami recipe ideas. You’ll get hooked, trust me.

this FOR LATER

After I made this for the first time, my teenage son asked if I’d secretly started working at an ice cream shop. The entire pitcher disappeared in, like, 10 minutes. Absolute hit.

Ingredients Needed For Ninja Creami Strawberry Milkshake

Let’s keep it real simple here. You basically need three main things—strawberries, milk, and ice cream—plus a couple odds and ends if you want to jazz it up. Fresh strawberries are my top pick, but frozen? Oh, those will absolutely work (and you don’t have to worry if they’re a little mushy).

For the milk, whole milk does make it creamier, but you do you: oat, almond, whatever is hanging out in your fridge is game. Do not underestimate the power of good vanilla ice cream. Use a quality brand or even something homemade, like this Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream. If you’re feeling extra, add a glug of vanilla extract, a squirt of whipped cream, or heck—even a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If they’re dull and tasteless, your shake might need a spoonful of sugar.

How To Make Strawberry Milkshake In Ninja Creami

So here’s where the magic happens. This part is what I call “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it easy.”

First, hull those strawberries. Slice them if you must—no one’s judging you for skipping steps. Pop them into your mixing container, dump in your ice cream and milk, maybe a little vanilla extract if you’re feeling fancy. If you want super-smooth, blend the strawberries and milk first then toss in the ice cream.

Slot that mix into your Ninja Creami, hit the “Milkshake” setting, and just let it rip. Don’t mess with it, don’t peek, just leave it be for that cycle. The Creami does all the heavy lifting here. Once it’s done, give it a swirl, taste for sweetness, then pour yourself a big ol’ glass. Sometimes I add more milk or a scoop of ice cream to tweak thickness—totally up to your mood.

Pro Tips For The Best Ninja Foodi Strawberry Milkshake

• Always start with cold ingredients for maximum creaminess.
• If your shake is too thick, add a splash more milk and rerun the cycle.
• Add a handful of frozen strawberries for a thicker, frostier texture.
• For serious dessert people: top your shake with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

Experiment and don’t take things too seriously. Sometimes, the best shakes come out of happy accidents (like the time I accidentally tossed in hot cocoa mix—wild, but not bad).
