Vanilla Milkshake in the Ninja Creami Machine

In my opinion, the Milkshake function of the Ninja Creami machine is one of the most underutilized options.

I didn’t use it myself for months, but once I did, I was hooked!

My kids LOVE milkshakes, so it’s always a crowd-pleaser in our house.

Plus, there are so many different flavor varieties to make, so we never get tired of them.

This vanilla milkshake is one of the simplest recipes, which means it can be whipped up at a moment’s notice, with no special ingredients required.
