Ingredients
To make this pistachio milk recipe, you only need two ingredients:
Pistachios: The best part about drinking pistachio milk? It’s made from pistachios, one of my favorite nuts.
As for pistachio milk nutrition, you get healthy fats, fiber, and protein—all of which help to keep you satiated. And they’re delicious. Because the milk is so fresh, it picks up a lot of that nutty flavor.
Vanilla extract: While optional, this ingredient adds natural sweetness to the pistachio milk recipe.
