| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh or frozen peaches | 1 cup (sliced) | Peeled and pitted |
| Fresh or frozen mango | 1 cup (sliced) | Ripe mango gives the best flavor |
| Unsweetened almond milk | ½ cup | Or use skim milk / oat milk |
| Greek yogurt (optional) | ¼ cup | For extra creaminess (low-fat preferred) |
| Monk fruit or stevia | 1–2 tbsp | Or honey/maple syrup (if not strictly low cal) |

4. Step-by-Step: How to Make Peach Mango Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami
Step 1: Blend the Base
Q: Should you blend everything before freezing?
Absolutely! Grab your blender and toss in:
- Peaches
- Mango
- Almond milk
- Greek yogurt
- Sweetener
- Lemon juice
- Vanilla extract (if using)
Blend until completely smooth. You want a silky, pourable mixture — not a chunky smoothie.
Step 2: Freeze Overnight
Pour the blended mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Smooth out the top, seal it, and pop it in the freezer for at least 12–24 hours.
Tip: Set a reminder. The Creami only works its magic on fully frozen bases.
Step 3: Spin to Creaminess
Once frozen solid, remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the Creami bowl, attach the blade, and lock it into the machine.
Use the “Ice Cream” function and let the Ninja Creami do its thing.
Q: Is one spin enough?
Sometimes, yes. But if your mix looks crumbly, simply add 1–2 tbsp of almond milk and use the “Re-spin” button for a smoother texture.
Step 4: Serve and Savor
Scoop into bowls, cones, or mason jars. Top with:
- Fresh peach or mango slices
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Crushed almonds
- Or nothing — it’s that good on its own

6. Common Questions About Ninja Creami Peach Mango Ice Cream
Q1: Can I use canned fruit instead of fresh?
Yes — just make sure it’s packed in 100% juice (not syrup), and drain it well. Fresh always wins for flavor, but canned works in a pinch.
Q2: What if I want it creamier?
Simple — increase the Greek yogurt to ½ cup or add a tablespoon of coconut cream. That gives it a denser, gelato-like feel without much extra fat.
Q3: Is this recipe diabetic-friendly?
Yes, especially if you use low-glycemic sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia. Keep an eye on portion sizes if blood sugar is a concern.
Q4: Can I prep multiple pints in advance?
Definitely! Make a few base mixtures, pour them into separate Creami pints, and freeze. That way, you’ll have a variety of flavors ready all summer.
