Ingredients
Nut and Seed Ingredients
- 2 tbsp shelled pistachios
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
Fruits and Vegetables
- 1 large banana (frozen)
- 1 cup baby spinach
Liquids
- 2/3 cup unsweetened soy milk (or liquid of choice)
Instructions
- Soak the pistachios (optional): For a smoother texture, soak the shelled pistachios in hot water for 10–15 minutes, then drain. This step is optional but recommended if you don’t have a high-speed blender.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the soaked (or raw) pistachios, frozen banana, hemp hearts, baby spinach, and soy milk.
- Blend: Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios or hemp hearts for added texture.
Notes
- Soaking pistachios helps achieve a creamier texture, especially if your blender is not high-powered.
- Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and thickness without needing additional sugar.
- Adjust liquid amount to reach your preferred smoothie consistency.
- Use any plant-based milk if soy milk is not preferred.
