About this drink
I know that the word “milkshake” is typically associated with a dessert-like drink made with ice cream, but that’s not the case here. This pistachio milkshake uses just 5 healthy ingredients: bananas, pistachios, nondairy milk, vanilla extract and a medjool date. In fact, it’s so healthy that I typically make it for breakfast or a post-workout meal. Though it would also make a delicious dessert.
How to freeze bananas for the creamiest smoothies, nice cream and milkshakes:
- Use ripe bananas. It’s important to use very ripe bananas, as they are much sweeter. Brown and spotty is perfect!
- Peel and cut bananas. By freezing the bananas properly, the blending process will be much easier later. To freeze, peel your ripe bananas and cut into 5-6 pieces. Place in an air-tight bag or container and freeze overnight. If they are still soft when you’re ready to use, they are not frozen enough.
PLEASE NOTE: if you don’t have frozen bananas, that’s okay! Just use fresh bananas and add a cup of ice.
Kitchen essentials
- A high-speed blender or food processor. I have been using my Ninja blender for years and I still love it.
Substitutions
Plain oat milk: you can use any nondairy milk of choice for this milkshake. I prefer oat milk for it’s extra creaminess, as well as soy milk and cashew milk.
