High Protein Pistachio Ice Cream

Soak & blend: Place raw shelled pistachios in a bowl of hot water and let them soak for 15 minutes. This softens them for smoother blending.

Drain and rinse: After soaking, drain and rinse the pistachios well. Add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Blend ingredients: To the blender with pistachios, add Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, sweetener (maple syrup or honey), vanilla extract, optional almond extract, avocado (if using), and salt.

Blend until smooth: Process until the mixture is silky smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no pistachio bits remain.

Chill the mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. This enhances the texture and flavor.

Churn or freeze:

• With ice cream maker: Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20–25 minutes). Add chopped pistachios during the last 5 minutes of churning.

• Without ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, fold in chopped pistachios, and freeze for 4–6 hours. Stir every hour to break up ice crystals and maintain creaminess
