I’ve always liked the flavour of pistachios and pistachio ice cream is probably my favourite summer treat!

Although pistachios are more expensive than other nuts, I think it’s nice to have a change and make a breakfast smoothie that doesn’t have peanut butter in it (which is what I usually do!)

Once you have the base (milk & pistachios), you can choose to add any greens you have at hand, like spinach, kale, lettuce or even avocado. You can also add green apples, which are refreshing and add a bit of sweetness. I also add mint to bring all the flavours together.

If you don’t want to overpower the subtle taste of pistachios, it’s best to stick to rice or oatmeal milk (or normal dairy milk), something like coconut milk is going to be too strong.
