Tier Verdict · 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 — but it may still be great in a shake or other uses.
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.

About This Brand
Optimum Nutrition — #7 Brand · 5.2 avg
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 — 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.
