Looking for a smoothie that’s both delicious AND packed with nutrients? Meet the Pistachio Avocado Smoothie—a silky-smooth blend of healthy fats, protein, and irresistible flavors! The creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the rich, nutty pistachios, creating a smooth and satisfying treat you can enjoy any time of the day. 
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado 
1/4 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted) 
1 banana 
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes (optional for a chilled smoothie)
A pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
Directions:
Prep the ingredients: Start by peeling and pitting the avocado. Place the flesh into your blender along with the pistachios, banana, and milk.
Blend it up: Add honey or maple syrup if you like your smoothie a little sweeter, along with the vanilla extract. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If you want a colder, thicker texture, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again. 
Taste and adjust: Taste your smoothie! Add more sweetener if needed or a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. 
Serve and enjoy: Pour your pistachio avocado smoothie into a glass, give it a swirl, and garnish with a few extra pistachios or a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling fancy. Enjoy this creamy, healthy treat!
