Banana Pistachio Smoothie

The first time I ever had this Banana Pistachio Smoothie was also the first time I went for dinner at my husband's place. Of course, he wasn't my husband at the time, but he made this for us that night. 

Sometimes we add a spoon of honey, but the bananas are usually sweet enough if they're ripe.



Here's my husband's cup with his ice cream on top.


Banana Pistachio Smoothie (aka Banana Juice)

Ingredients
  • 2 small bananas (frozen if you like)
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 15 shelled pistachios (mine were salted)
