Tier Verdict ยท Didn't Land

This powder hasn't impressed us in the Ninja Creami so far. Texture or flavor didn't quite land in the frozen base โ€” but it may still be great in a shake or other uses.

The Review

This Chocolate Mint powder delivers a solid flavor experience; the mint note genuinely survives the Creami spin, giving the pint a refreshing finish while the chocolate base stays recognizable and rich. It spins into a consistently dense, creamy texture with no icy pockets, and the flavor intensity is strong enough to carry the pint without tasting watered down. However, the sucralose is definitely noticeable and prevents it from feeling truly dessert-like. While it performs well, the artificial sweetener makes this a pass for me, as there are better options in this flavor profile.

Hasn't Impressed Us Yet

Optimum Nutrition is a household name in protein, but their powders don't translate well to the Ninja Creami. Across 5 flavors tested, the average score sits at 4.0 โ€” the lowest of any brand we've reviewed. The texture tends to be icy and the flavor profile is flat compared to brands built with ice cream in mind. We'd recommend spending your money elsewhere for Creami-specific use.
