Dear reader,
I knew this one was going to be a hit when I had trouble deciding whether to call it a milkshake or a smoothie. I went with smoothie for now, but the jury is still out. This creamy pistachio smoothie checks all the boxes for a breakfast or dessert: Creamy and sweet, protein packed, full of fiber, healthy fats, spices, and greens. Satisfy that sweet tooth and get your greens all in one sweet sip.
Pair it with this savory Vegan Crispy Potato and Egg Hash for a complete breakfast.
Until next time,
Bridget
