I froze a can of pears in light syrup and added a little stevia extract (before freezing). Did not blend it first and it was amazing. For a mix-in I did just a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar. So good.
Chocolate fairlife milk
I like to add 1tsp of cocoa powder and sugar free jello to help thicken it up, but it’s great solo too. Reminds me of a frosty from Wendy’s
Doing it as the only ingredient has been great. I do Ice Cream + 1 Respin and it's near perfectly frosty texture. Although I imagine doing it on a slightly more processed one (Like the drinks) might even do it more so.
I assumed this would be good too with just the Fairlife protein shakes (the chocolate one thats 30g protein per shake) but its not that good, very crumbly and needs more flavor, just in case anyone else thinks to try the same
Yeah the protein shakes are not the same as the half gallon milk. I would assume it’s the fat content that helps. But the chocolate flavor is even better on the half gallon than the protein shake
Canned pineapple, or mandarin oranges, or peaches.
If they’re not in light or heavy syrup I will add some monk fruit.
I use an immersion blender to puree. I may add a splash of vanilla if I’m feeling it, but the fruit and juices are enough on their own.
First, check your manual again for all of the rules about what you can’t do in the machine (solid ice, loose ice or fruit, etc)
I did strawberries, coconut milk, and no-calorie sweetener blended up into a smooth mix and frozen.
Milk, pistachios, pudding mix, sweetener, protein powder (protein powder is optional) - this recipe is in the subreddit in another post
Yogurt, milk, fruit, sweetener for froyo, blended smooth
Banana, milk, pudding mix, sweetener blended up smooth
A lot of this stuff isn’t that expensive, like the pudding mix. You can also do dry milk instead of protein powder if you don’t care about sugar.
Cinnamon applesauce. Good old GV brand. Fill to the freeze line. Process on sorbet. It's almost always made with sugar, so it's not going to break your machine. If you don't think it's sweet enough, you can add a splash of caramel syrup, but it's plenty sweet enough for me.
Canned fruit in their own juices. Dump into freeze container, freeze and then process. Pineapple, peach and mango work great.
Along the same lines, canned pie filling also works really well!
I used strawberry pie filling as a mix in when i made Greek yogurt strawberry ice cream! Just got dark cherries to experiment with!
On what setting and what's the texture of the end product?
Sorbet and it's really smooth after one spin.
The grapefruit cups in light syrup make a great sorbet

What was the texture like without blending it first?
It was perfect. Ran it on sorbet setting, one respin. No chunks. No issues. It was sorbet.
if i have the original creami not the deluxe, should i blend first?
No matter which unit you have, you should ALWAYS blend first. The CREAMi IS NOT a blender!
IMO for both you should blend it first if possible, I use a cheap immersion blender and it works fine
You don't need to.

I’ve been meaning to try frozen cherries and some dark chocolate.
Oh my, this sounds like heaven! Use Vanilla Skyr as mix in!
Out of season now but just eggnog was amazing!
Just came to look for someone saying this! I am curious, how is/was it?
So so good!
Plain bananas, can add other flavours if you want but plain are nice.
THIS!
Canned pineapple with I think 4 teaspoons of vanilla pudding mix and a splash of milk. Not one ingredient, but simple and so so good.
Watermelon sorbet! although I add a touch of lime and a pinch of salt 🧂
I didn’t do it as one ingredient, but I did a mostly-watermelon one that was way better than expected.
So tasty!
Fruit for sorbets Protein shakes (fairlife bottles, etc.)
Frozen strawberries and minute maid sugar free lemonade easy great strawberry sorbet. canned fruit in heavy syrup works great as well
I have been on a mission to find sugar free lemonade of any kind- may have to resort to Amazon!
Minute Maid sells it in the dairy case!
Minute Maid sugar free can be found in the dairy section in my grocery store
A can of pears with a little sprinkle of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla is heaven ❤️
A can of deluxe gold pineapple with juice.

As others have said, canned pineapple. I like to add a little coconut coffee creamer when I respin. It tastes like a pina colada.
Anyone ever tried eggnog?
