This thing is the bomb! My wife and I got it as a healthier alternative to ice cream, and it did not disappoint. I mix up skim milk, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, and cocoa and it comes out like gourmet Hagen Daas. Super creamy without the fat and calories! It is also easy to clean and use. The only planning needed is to allow proper time to freeze your crafted mix. Would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth but not wanting all the calories, sugar, and fat.

I have been watching for a good deal for this product. Even after I decided Sam’s had the best deal, it took me a while to find it available. A couple times, it was completely out of stock. I’ve tried several recipes with fair to good results. Just need to find the best recipe for me. Lots of tips and recipes on YouTube. Very happy so far!

I’m not into trendy gadgets but this was worth it! We use it everyday. It come with three pint containers, there are 5 of us in the house so I need to order two more so we can each have our own. I love ice cream and now I can make it much healthier - high protein, low fat, low calorie to get my ice cream fix.

We love our Ninja Creami! It is such a great little machine! We have been having fun this past month making a lot of different creations. We have been using the protein shakes and packets as our base for a healthier option. The price point at Sam's Club on our Ninja was really good as well! If you are considering whether or not to buy this machine, I say go for it! You won't regret it.

This was a pleasant surprise. The perfect gadget to create small batches of delicious creaminess. Tons of recipes to make all types of ice cream/sorbet treats and the machine is easy to operate with simple instructions to follow. Definitely a healthier alternative making your own compared to buying store brands that are loaded with several bad ingredients.

The Ninja CREAMi is one of the most used appliances in my kitchen. I use it almost daily for smoothie bowls, and it's been a game changer for making custom ice cream at home. Being able to make completely lactose-free ice cream in so many varieties is huge, especially since that's usually very hard to find with good texture. What really sets it apart is how creamy and smooth everything turns out from a fully frozen base. Smoothie bowls come out thick and spoonable, and the ice cream settings give a true ice-cream texture, not icy or grainy. I also love the flexibility — from healthier options to more indulgent treats, it handles everything well. It's easy to use once you get the hang of freezing the base ahead of time, and the results are consistently worth it. If you like smoothie bowls or need dairy-free or lactose-free frozen desserts, this machine is absolutely worth it.

As i type, I'm literally eating just created Mandarin Orange sorbet with Raisins & Grand Marnier (orange liqueur). How easy was it? I dumped a can of mandarin orange with syrup into pint container, froze overnight, popped it in machine tonight & hit Sorbet button. 1.5 mins later, sorbet. Added some raisins & liqeuer for personal touch. Since Rum Raisin is my favorite ice cream in the world, many of my experimental ice creams are also finding alcohol. This also makes amazing milkshakes. To save time, i also bought a container of pistachio ice cream from store. When in the mood for a shake, just add a few scoops, a little milk & in about 60 seconds you'll have a thick perfectly blended shake. You can't duplicate with a blender, as you'd constantly be pushing the ice cream down with a spoon. By the time it is well blended, it likely is no longer thick. The key with the Creami, is the blade is not fixed, it slowly descends from the very top to very bottom of the container, mixing perfectly. Some have complained about the noise. It is about as loud as a blender crushing ice, which is loud but well, you ARE basically crushing ice. The ONLY drawback is i expected to save $ right away over store bought ice cream. That's not the case, as i happily went up & down my grocery aisles picking up canned fruit, raisins, marshmallows, choc chip morsels, extracts & just about everything i thought might taste good in ice cream. Money well spent!

A*M*A*Z*I*N*G product!!! Would highly recommend!!! We have used it every single night! We’ve tried so many variations and recipes…love it ALL!! Can’t live without it now! Highly impressed with this Ninja appliance~will certainly exceed your expectations!!!

By far the best thing I've bought all year. I have a milk allergy and this machine makes the best dairy free ice cream I've ever had. My husband has been making protein ice cream amd has also been enjoying it. We have used it literally every day since we got it a few weeks ago.

Not really sure what this does exactly. You have to make your mix first, freeze it for 24 hours, then put it in the machine. But I’m not quite sure what the machine actually does. I noticed no difference from when I took the mixture out of the freezer vs after running it through the machine. And yes, I read the directions and followed them to a T. Super disappointing and a little aggravated with this product. I guess for what you pay for it, you’d expect a lot more. I love all my Ninja products, just not this one. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted my money on it. Now I can’t return it since I used it.
