Can I use non-dairy milk?

Totally. Oat, almond, coconut—all work. The taste and texture change slightly, but honestly, nobody in my house has ever complained.

Got tips for cleaning up Ninja Creami after milkshakes?

Rinse everything right away. Nothing clings like old milkshake—found that out the hard way.

Not for milkshakes—just use fresh ice cream straight from the tub. The overnight freeze is for ice cream recipes.

Yep, but add them in after you’ve blended the shake. Otherwise, things get weirdly clumpy.

Drinks aren’t as dreamy day two, but frozen leftovers are great re-blended or as popsicles.

A quick and outrageously creamy milkshake made using the Ninja Creami, perfect for satisfying late-night cravings.
