Equipment

  • High Speed Blender (you can use a less high powered blender instead but you would need to soak the pistachios for at least 30 minutes before processing)

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cup plant milk (or you can use a combination of ice cubes and plant milk)
  • ⅓ cup shelled pistachios (raw or roasted)
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 medium banana, fresh or frozen (⅔ to ¾ cup frozen banana slices)
  • ¼ cup avocado, fresh or frozen
  • 1 to 1½ tsp matcha
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in the bowl of a high speed blender and process until smooth. In my blender this takes about 1½ minutes. If you are using soaked pistachios because and a non high speed blender, it could take significantly longer to get a smooth mixture.
  • This recipe makes approximately 21 oz (1 very large smoothie or 2 medium smoothies).
