Why You Will Like the Ninja Creami

• Ninja Creami’s can make smoothie bowls, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and even milkshakes!
• If the blending didn’t work the first time try adding some more juice or milk to it and do a second respin.
• For sorbets use canned fruit or fresh fruit. It just doesn’t make any sense to defrost frozen fruit and then refreeze it in the Ninja Creami machine.
• Find a good base ice cream for vanilla and you can add whatever toppings you like to the ice cream for mix ins.
