Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The protein shake and protein powder contain proteins that help create a thick and creamy texture. When the Ninja Creami shaves the frozen mixture into tiny particles, it creates a smooth texture similar to ice cream. The Oreo cookies add small crunchy pieces and extra flavor, while the re-spin process helps blend everything together into a milkshake consistency.
