## Equipment

- Ninja Creami

## Tips

- Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes after freezing to let the edges thaw a tiny bit before spinning.
- You can use lime instead of lemon for a different flavor.
- Adding a scoop of high-quality vanilla protein powder can increase protein content.
- A couple of drops of lemon oil can enhance the flavor.
- Using 0 fat Greek yogurt also works well.
- Soft cheese (quark) and lemon sorbet flavor powder can be used as an alternative for a similar result.
