If there’s one thing I’m always looking for during the summer, it’s a cold sweet treat that actually makes me feel good too. I’ve been on such a kick lately with fun MTN OPS recipes, from my Ignite Lite Dirty Daiquiri to my go-to green smoothie that’s full of nutrients, and this Ninja Creami Italian Ice has officially earned a top spot on that list.

Healthy Ninja Creami Italian Ice Recipe

This recipe tastes like one of those fruity frozen desserts you’d grab on a hot summer day after being outside all day. Its fruity, refreshing, and sweet, buttttt it’s packed with ingredients that help fuel your body too. Honestly, it’s the best of both worlds.

And if you’ve tried MTN OPS products before, you already know how well they blend into drinks. The Strawberry Ignite Lite flavor is so refreshing and gives this Italian ice the perfect fruity flavor for summer.

What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can easily add collagen or creatine for extra benefits, and it still tastes like a total treat. Plus, you could totally add in frozen spinach or avocado for some added nutrients and I promise you truly cannot taste it. I haven’t tried adding them for this recipe but I add that to my other smoothies all the time! OR.. wait a sec.. you could skip both and add in a scoop of my Eva Super Greens. They’re packed full of greens and nutrients AND they’re also strawberry flavor so this is perfecttttt. Not sure why I didn’t think of that actually. BRB- making another with the greens added asap.

If you’re looking for an easy and refreshing cold sweet treat that is ACTUALLY healthy, I filmed the full step-by-step so you can follow along:

You’ll need:

You’ll Need

• 1 scoop MTN OPS Ignite Lite Strawberry flavor (Use Code Eva to save)
• 1 scoop MTN OPS Collagen and/or Creatine (optional AND Code Eva will save you $ for these too)
• 1 tablespoon local honey
• 4–5 fresh or frozen strawberries
• 2 cups of water in your creami container

Directions

1. Blend Ingredients

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. I like using this frother (it’s seriously SO POWERFUL and rechargeable which I love) or blender for the smoothest consistency. I’ve had a lotttt of frothers and this one wins.

You can also skip blending and leave the strawberries whole because they’ll blend up perfectly in the Ninja Creami after freezing. I do recommend blending if you’re adding spinach!

2. Freeze Overnight

Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami container and freeze overnight.

3. Spin Until Creamy

When you’re ready to enjoy, remove it from the freezer and add a small splash of water. Blend in the Ninja Creami until smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately and enjoy your new favorite healthy summer sweet treat. I like to drizzle it with more honey and some fresh strawberries chopped on top!

Hot Tips Recap

If you’re looking to get some additional nutrients, I love adding spinach to my smoothies for extra hidden nutrients that you can’t taste, so you could totally try that with this recipe! OR if you want even more of a strawberry flavor plus a TON of nutritional benefits, you can add my MTN OPS Super Greens. BRB while I go make another one and try that!

If you want even more protein support, adding collagen or creatine is such an easy way to level this recipe up without changing the flavor.

Fresh strawberries give it an extra juicy summer flavor, but frozen strawberries work amazingly too and make prep even easier. This has quickly become one of my favorite pre or post-workout snack and a healthier dessert option during the warmer months.
