🥜 Ingredients

• 1 cup raw pistachios (shelled, unsalted)
• 2 cups coconut milk (or almond milk for lighter version)
• 1/2 cup soaked cashews (for extra creaminess)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave)
• 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder (optional for extra protein)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Chopped pistachios (for topping)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep pistachios: Soak pistachios in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain.
2. Blend: Add pistachios, cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, protein powder, vanilla, and salt into a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Chill: Pour mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4. Churn or freeze: If you have an ice cream maker, churn according to instructions. If not, pour into a freezer-safe container, stir every 30 minutes until set and creamy.
5. Serve: Scoop into bowls, top with extra pistachios, and enjoy!

🌱 Tips

• For an extra green color, add a little matcha powder or spinach powder (you won’t taste it!).
• Make it sugar-free by swapping maple syrup with monk fruit or stevia.
• Add dark chocolate chunks for a pistachio-chocolate twist.
