Pistachio Protein Packed Smoothie

The Dubai chocolate craze has brought pistachios back into my life in a whole new perspective. It’s not only a nut to snack on — it’s an ingredient that could be used in a mix of sweet or savory sips and treats. As I was researching pistachios, I learned that they contain a significant amount of protein! Did you know that?

If you’re looking for an ingredient to replace your protein powder, pistachios could be it! ~ 1 cup of pistachios contains ~ 25 grams of protein! 🤯
