This powder didn't perform well in the Ninja Creami. Poor texture, off flavors, or weak macros — there are much better options in the rankings.

The Review

Strawberry flavor is artificial and gets lost in the pint. The base ends up thin and candy-like rather than creamy strawberry, which is disappointing for an ice cream build. Even with mix-ins there just isn’t enough real strawberry character to carry the pint. There are much better strawberry protein options if you're targeting a Creami-friendly flavor.

How It's Scored

Flavor Accuracy

Does it taste like what it says on the label? Artificial notes are penalized.

Creami Texture

How smooth and creamy does it spin? Icy or grainy results score lower.
