Special thanks to Macy’s for sponsoring today’s post. While Living in Yellow was compensated for this collaboration, all products were selected by me and opinions are my own.
I’ve had my eye on the Ninja Creami for about a year, and when I saw there was a new model (Deluxe) that also creates frozen drinks it was a no brainer for me to take the plunge and see what it’s all about! I was excited, but my kids were thrilled and keep talking about all of the possibilities and brainstorming recipes. Below, I’m sharing 4 we’ve come up with so far. [Check out our previous Ninja Creami recipes!]
Tip – For ultimate Ninja Creami enjoyment, make sure to stock up on a few extra containers! Not only will this allow you to batch prepare multiple flavors at once — don’t waste that gallon of whole milk you just bought! — it will allow you to premix several flavors to have on hand for when the 10pm ice cream craving strikes!
