Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 ½ cups milk or plant-based milk
  • 4 medjool dates chopped
  • 5-6 ice cubes

Instructions

  • Put the pistachios and dates in a blender. Add about a half cup of milk. Blend at the highest setting. Stop the blender and scrape the sides with a rubber spatula, add the rest of the milk and blend again.
  • When the mixture is nice and creamy blend in the ice cubes until they are thoroughly integrated into the smoothy. Serve cold.

Notes

Be sure not to add the ice cubes until the very end. If the dates are too cold when they are blended they will clump and not blend well.
You can substitute other nuts for pistachios. We’ve had success with soaked almonds (raw, not roasted), cashews and pecans.
Medjool dates are by far the best for this smoothie. If you use a different kind you might try soaking them in the milk for a few hours ahead of times, or even cooking them into a syrup first, to make sure they blend well.
