Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
Start by peeling the ripe banana and cutting it into chunks. For the avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Measure out the unsalted pistachios, and if you’re using Greek yogurt, ensure it’s smooth and creamy. You can also use any other yogurt variety, depending on your preference.
2. Blend the Smoothie:
In a blender, combine the banana, avocado, almond milk, pistachios, and yogurt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Taste and Adjust:
Taste your smoothie and feel free to adjust the flavors. If you’d like a little more sweetness, you can add a drizzle of honey or a pinch of vanilla extract. Alternatively, you can add more pistachios for an extra nutty flavor.
4. Garnish and Serve:
Pour the smoothie into a glass, and top it with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for some crunch and a decorative touch. This adds an extra nutty bite that complements the creamy texture of the smoothie.
5. Enjoy!
Sip and enjoy the creamy, refreshing, and nutty goodness of your homemade Pistachio Smoothie! Perfect for a morning energy boost, a mid-day snack, or post-workout refuel.
