Chocolate Pistachio Shake Recipe
Enjoy a rich chocolate pistachio shake made with creamy bananas, sweet dates, and crunchy pistachios for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (plus more to thin if desired)
- 2 tablespoons black chia seeds
- 3 whole medjool dates (pitted)
- 1/3 cup roasted + shelled pistachios (plus more for topping)
- 3 frozen medium + very ripe bananas (peeled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt or use coconut milk yogurt for a vegan option
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix almond milk and chia seeds in a small bowl. Let sit for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
- Add pistachios and pitted medjool dates to a food processor. Blend until finely chopped and butter-like, about 5 minutes, scraping down sides.
- To the blender, add the chia seed mixture, frozen banana chunks, cocoa powder, and Greek yogurt.
- Blend until the shake is thick, creamy, and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
- If the shake is too thick, add more almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Pour into a glass, top with extra pistachios, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture, ensure your bananas are very ripe before freezing.
- Adjust sweetness by adding an extra date or a touch of maple syrup if needed.
- Top with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios and a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for an extra special touch. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
