Pistachio Smoothie Recipe
This nutty and slightly sweet Pistachio Smoothie recipe is so tasty and perfect for a cool sweet treat.
Today is a day of celebration! My sweet friends, Josh and Maria, from Two Peas and Their Pod, are having their first baby next month, and a bunch of their friends have gotten together to throw a virtual surprise baby shower. Maria and Josh are a fun couple that share their love for cooking (especially cookies – check em out!) with all of us. They must be tickled in anticipation of the newest pea to their pod. I know we all are!
Today I’m sharing a Pistachio Smoothie recipe. It’s a no fuss, tasty treat. And makes the perfect party beverage when made in mini portions, or try a full size smoothie for a meal or a snack. I’ve enjoyed it for breakfast. Pistachio and banana is a great breakfast combo, don’t ya know?
Pistachios are packed with nutrition that Josh and Maria will definitely need once the baby arrives. A handful of pistachios contains much of the daily recommended vitamins and nutrients, like vitamin E, and those energy rich B vitamins. You’ll also find that pistachios are a good source of antioxidants, and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid.
The recipe below is basic, certainly adjust the sugar amount to your liking, and if you’re a banana fan, toss one in to thicken things up. Smoothies are always fun to make because you can create endless combinations as you go.

Oh Amy, these look positively refreshing and delicious. I’m a big fan of pistachios, but have never tried it in a smoothie. Thanks for the idea!
Great idea! I’ve seen lots of smoothie recipes that add peanut butter but never pistachios. I might be tempted to add chocolate too. A perfect new mom recipe for Maria.

Oh, I *love* anything pistachio!! Definitely going to make these, but might try almond milk – no cow’s milk for me, unfortunately. Thank you so much for participating in the shower, I’m so impressed with everyone’s recipes and their love for miss Maria [& Josh}!

It looks wonderful, but for some reason I thought it was going to be GREEN! lol, that might not have been as appetizing looking, right?
This looks amazing; I love pistachio anything, and I can’t wait to whirl this up soon.

Hi, Amy! I can’t believe I haven’t been by your blog more often. It really is beautiful and I love the way you have it set up. I know you hang out a lot with all the cool cooking girls, like Sandy (my friend). Looking forward to getting to know you better & really, if you get to ATL, let me know!!
Hi Amy,
I was thrilled to find the recipe for the Pistachio Smoothies. Any Nutritional
Info?
wondering also if you know how to make Pistachio, Instant, Sugar Free Pudding Mix? I love Pistachios, and being Diabetic,
it would be wonderful to locate a recipe. Thank You for your help.

I do not have nutritional information for the smoothies. And no, I do not have a recipe for pistachio instant sugar free pudding mix.
