Execution

Blend the Base:
In a blender, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla, almond extract, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy.

Add the Pistachios:
Stir in the chopped pistachios 🌰 for crunch and authentic flavor.
3
Churn the Ice Cream:
If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If no ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.
