Print Recipe

This Creamy Protein-Packed Pistachio Dream is a guilt-free frozen dessert made with Greek yogurt, real pistachios, and protein powder. It’s a smooth, nutty, and naturally sweet treat perfect for fueling your day or enjoying post-workout.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 scoop vanilla or pistachio-flavored protein powder

  • ½ cup shelled roasted pistachios (unsalted)

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Blend Base Ingredients:
    In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until creamy and smooth.

  • Add Pistachios:
    Add pistachios and pulse for a few seconds for a crunchy texture, or blend fully for a smooth finish.

  • Churn or Freeze:
    Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn per manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).
    No ice cream maker? Pour into a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours. Freeze for 4–6 hours until firm.

  • Serve:
    Scoop and serve with crushed pistachios on top if desired.

Notes

  • Swap almond milk with oat or dairy milk if preferred.

  • For an extra protein boost, top with chopped nuts or a protein bar crumble.

  • Store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
