Pistachio Smoothie/Ice Cream

By cfaide

I did a shopping tour at Costco yesterday and at the end the Vitamix “guy” was there so we stuck around for a demo. He made a pistachio ice cream but it used a couple of non-maximized living approved ingredients. I decided to modify it and give it a try. It turned out amazing! You will definitely need a vitamix or something equally powerful.

You won’t believe how delicious this is!

Makes about 3 medium smoothies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups full fat coconut milk
• Large handful organic spinach
• Handful shelled pistachios (I was surprised that roasted salted pistachios worked well. If you can find raw pistachios use them!)
• 1/2 avocado
• 2 -3 scoops Perfect Protein
• 2 cups ice
• Xylitol to taste
