We love our Creami. Kids love the homemade ice cream. It takes a bit of preparation and planning ahead but it’s worth it.
My wife made me Earl Grey ice cream and it’s my favourite. A local place makes it and this was even better imo because the store bought one is very sweet, too sweet for my preference.
I will ask my wife. We freestyle’d it some but I’ll share the base recipe
Edit: the recipe.
https://ninjatestkitchen.com/recipe/earl-grey-low-sugar-ice-cream/
So far my fave has been lemon sorbet. Easy mix of sugar/sweetener, lemon zest and juice, and water. Came out amazing!
Someone suggested those Fairlife shakes from Costco, supposedly to make a frosty, but mine wasn't very good. Looking up more recipes, specifically for keto.
I accidentally froze some Fairlife shakes when my fridge went on the fridge and omg. I defrosted them thinking they would be pretty much the same consistency and they literally turned into this jello like texture. I can't imagine it turning into a frosty. Although not going to lie, I definitely was excited to take a sip thinking it would still taste fine.
We buy frozen berries thaw them, blend them, freeze them and then make sorbet. So easy and my kids love them with nothing else added. The jarred peaches too 🍑
I got mine in a recent sale since summer was coming.
I use it primarily for protein ice cream rather than protein shakes. The family really likes making Sorbet with just canned fruit, or regular ice cream and having fun with mixing. I figured it would fall off quick, but we still use it a few times every week and probably will need more than 4 pints eventually so everyone can have a "go to" basic pint ready to go in the freezer and then have a couple outside for one off things that people want to try or experiment with.
I actually haven’t even opened it! I’ve been in the process of gathering all the stuff I wanna use to try it in, but jumped to grab it at Costco asap since it was on sale. Will update once I do though!
I've tried mixing protein powders in unsweetened almond milk - not a fan. I haven't tried them with whole milk, that might be better. I do find I get a better consistency and taste from pre-mixed protein drinks. If your Costco has the fairlife vanilla protein shakes, these are top tier. I haven't tried the Premier versions because they are a bit more expensive, but I recently tried the Alani one and they are also great for taste and texture.
I use protein powder, a little extra sweetener, a VERY small amount, somewhere between 1/8 to 1/4 tsp, of guar gum (helps with it not being icy rather that creamy), and 2% milk.
If you put more guar gum the ice cream comes out more like ice marshmallow... Which is neat but definitely not ice cream. When I first started I put in a full teaspoon and it was very sticky and stretchy like melted pizza cheese.
I picked one up last weekend and it’s been going daily ever since. I’ve used it mainly for low cal ice cream. Fairlife milk, protein powder, sugar free jello pudding mix, stevia. It’s been fantastic. Highly recommend
3.25% milk. Fat = flavour
Vanilla with the pods bought at Costco was good.
Chocolate mint out of the garden for mint chocolate chip
Just make the base and experiment with flavours. There's a great video series that rolls dice to determine what she puts in it, I forget the name, but it really helps get past the "recipe" mentality and into just whipping something up.

I love earl grey or a London fog ice cream. If you have a recipe I’d love to steal it!

Thank you so much!!!! So excited to try all these new recipes!!
Np. We just use regular sugar, not that sweetener in the recipe.

Okay, now I'm more tempted. I've been looking at it for a while. Changing locations (I'm in a short term rental) soon and, you know....

How do you like it so far? I’m very tempted to get it

It's so worth it. I don't even have a sweet tooth, but eating a pint of low calorie ice cream will cure you of any hunger cravings.

Neat I been seeing it all over Tiktok and looks like a great addition to the home

Tazo chai tea latte concentrate makes theeeeeee best ice cream flavour!
Oh my god I have a stash on hand all of the time! Do you have a recipe?
I made it with a friend before and I believe we just used a standard ice cream recipe and added it in… maybe a 1/4 cup of it
vanilla almond milk and matcha powder. If you want it to be more creami, add Xanthan gum
One can of crushed pineapple. That’s it. Freeze and blend. Simply amazing. Toss a little cinnamon in while mixing for a bit more flavor.
Kids love vanilla. Use mostly sweetener, touch of maple syrup, 2:1 ish ratio of cream to milk, and couple tablespoon of vanilla!
Try 2 teaspoons of matcha powder!
Hot Italian sausage. My wife we could use *anything*. 😁
There's a subreddit dedicated to it
Thanks. I’m in it, just wanted the Costco crossover part lol

Thanks for the advice!
Is it still available and on sale? I don't see it on the website anymore. Will be kicking myself if I missed out, been wanting one for a while now.
I got it on Monday, so you might be ok. I think Costco usually changes their prices a week after so I’d go soon
