In my opinion, one of the most underutilized functions of the Ninja Creami machine is its Milkshake function.
In contrast to the Ice Cream and Sorbet buttons, which essentially shave a solid block of base into a creamy concoction, the Milkshake button works more like a blender.
This means you can enjoy a cool and creamy treat without having to wait 24 hours!
Not only that, but there are so many different flavor options to choose from.
And if you ask me, the Ninja Creami does a better job of creating a truly creamy milkshake than a standard blender.
As a bonus, it’s easier to clean, too!
Not only that, but many of these recipes can be made dairy-free, simply by using dairy-free ice cream and nondairy milk.
Here are some of our favorite Ninja Creami milkshake recipes to give you plenty of inspiration.
Milkshake Recipes for the Ninja Creami Machine
These tasty treats are easy to make, and also easy to customize, based on dietary needs and taste preferences.
1. Ninja Creami Chocolate Milkshake
You simply can’t go wrong with a classic chocolate milkshake!
This one is about as easy as they come, and the result is a rich, creamy, chocolatey treat that satisfies your sweet tooth.
2. Ninja Creami Strawberry Milkshake
Fresh strawberries are the star of the show in this strawberry milkshake recipe.
I recommend choosing ripe, sweet strawberries for the most flavor!
In a pinch, you can thaw out some frozen strawberries and use those instead.
3. Ninja Creami Banana Pudding Milkshake
If you love banana pudding, you’re going to adore this banana milkshake!
My kids beg for more of this milkshake made with fresh bananas and a bit of banana pudding mix.
It’s so creamy and delicious.
4. Ninja Creami Pistachio Milkshake
This pistachio milkshake is one of my personal favorites.
Vanilla ice cream and pistachio pudding mix create a thick, smooth, indulgent treat that rivals pistachio gelato (but with less effort!).
5. Ninja Creami Oreo Milkshake
If you’re a fan of cookies and cream treats, you have to try this Oreo shake!
It’s chock full of bits of cookies, which provide plenty of sweet flavor for the shake.
6. Ninja Creami Pumpkin Spice Milkshake
When you’re ready for a taste of fall but it’s still hot outside, this pumpkin milkshake is the ultimate treat.
It’s like a cool and creamy slice of pumpkin pie heaven, made with real pumpkin and warm spices.
7. Ninja Creami Nutella Milkshake
Is there anything that Nutella can’t do? This chocolate hazelnut shake is a silky smooth treat that disappears fast in our house.
Add some whipped cream and more Nutella on top, if you’d like!
8. Ninja Creami Eggnog Milkshake
One of my favorite flavors of the holiday season is eggnog, which is why this eggnog milkshake is near and dear to my heart!
It’s cool and creamy, but with the warm spices we associate with Christmas time. Perfect for pairing with a plate of cookies!
9. Ninja Creami Vanilla Milkshake
Sometimes, you just want a simple treat, and this vanilla milkshake is anything but plain.
Creamy and satisfying in the best way, it’s a delicious but fuss-free dessert.
10. Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Milkshake
Perfectly sweet, this thick and creamy peanut butter shake is one of our favorites, and it only requires a few ingredients to make.
You can get creative with the toppings, too–we love chopped peanut butter cups, but you could also use Butterfinger bits, chopped salted peanuts, Reese’s Pieces, etc.
