Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The Ninja Creami shaves the frozen mixture into tiny particles. This creates a smooth texture that feels creamy even though there is very little fat. The protein powder also helps improve texture because protein binds with water and reduces ice crystal formation. The peaches add natural sugars, which help keep the sorbet softer and easier to scoop.

- Not freezing for a full 24 hours.
- Overfilling the pint container.
- Using too little liquid, which can create a dry texture.
- Skipping the Re-Spin when the mixture looks crumbly.
- Processing a pint with an uneven frozen surface.
What to Serve With
- Fresh peach slices
- Fresh berries
- Granola
- Protein waffles
- Graham crackers

Leftovers and Storage
- Store leftovers in the Creami pint with the lid on.
