🥑 Pistachio Smoothie 🍹
Creamy, nutty, and delicious, this Pistachio Smoothie is a refreshing treat packed with protein and healthy fats. Perfect for a morning boost or a midday snack, it’s a great way to enjoy pistachios in a refreshing, smoothie form!
✨ Ingredients:
1/4 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted)
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)
A pinch of salt
✨ Instructions:
1️⃣ Blend the Pistachios:
Start by blending the pistachios in a blender or food processor until finely ground. This helps them blend smoothly into the rest of the ingredients.
2️⃣ Add Remaining Ingredients:
Add the banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender with the ground pistachios. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes as well.
3️⃣ Blend Until Smooth:
Blend on high speed until everything is well combined and the smoothie is creamy and smooth. You can adjust the thickness by adding more milk or ice if necessary.
4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Pour the smoothie into a glass, and enjoy immediately! Optionally, sprinkle a few crushed pistachios on top for added texture.
💡 Tip: For a thicker smoothie, freeze the banana beforehand or add a tablespoon of chia seeds or oats.
