Blending the Mint Cookie Creami Base

Start with a smooth base for your mint cookie soft serve. Combine almond milk, dairy-free vanilla protein powder, peppermint extract, and fresh spinach in a blender.

A solid base ensures the Creami churns out a creamy texture. If you’re curious about other dairy-free options, my Coconut Milk Sorbet is a great starting point.

Adding Crunch with Mint Oreos

Once your base is processed in the Ninja Creami on the Ice Cream setting, it’s time to add texture. Crush four mint Oreos into small chunks, not too fine, as you want that satisfying crunch. Stir them into the soft serve for bursts of chocolatey mint flavor. Store-bought cookies work perfectly, saving you time without skimping on taste. This step transforms your Mint Cookie Creami into a dessert that rivals any ice cream shop. For more cookie-based treats, try my Oreo Dessert Bars.
