It's always the season for a sweet treat, especially with the sun threatening to boil us all alive this summer. For all my ice cream lovers out there, the Ninja Creami is a must-have. Not only has this viral ice cream maker become a cult favorite for making mouth-watering shakes, smoothies, and more, but it's also one of the most fun kitchen essentials out there. And If you've been waiting for a good deal, the Prime Day sales going on this week make now the perfect time to splurge.

Right now, the Ninja Creami is just $169 at Amazon — the lowest ever price we've seen on this ice cream maker. But you'd better act fast, because we've seen stock sell out before on Black Friday. And that was when it was $10 more. For even more savings, check out our favorite kitchen appliances on sale this Prime Day.

Why we love the Ninja Creami

The Ninja Creami tops the list of the best home ice cream makers we've ever tested, and it's easy to see why. In our 4-star Ninja Creami review, its versatility seriously impressed us, and its intuitive design made it easy to whip up everything from rich gelato and refreshing sorbet to creamy milkshakes that put McDonalds to shame.

While you'll need to freeze your base for 24 hours before churning, which can be a pain, the Creami makes the rest of the process super simple. It also includes two pint containers, so it's easy to prep multiple flavors in advance.

What’s more, if you have dietary requirements, the Creami has several settings designed to fit different needs like Keto, vegan, and even fruitarians! Where it really shines, though, is with mix-ins and powders. Protein powder, instant coffee, matcha, chai latte powder, and the like blended smoothly into our recipes without the chalky texture that often plagues other blenders and ice cream makers.

If you've been thinking about adding a Ninja Creami to your kitchen, now is a great time to take advantage of a deal and start experimenting with homemade frozen treats. For more inspo, follow these 3 tips for perfect results every time.
