"I created this one on a day when I had a bowl of pistachios on the counter and strawberries in the freezer. What I noticed immediately was how the nutty depth balanced the sweetness in a way that felt genuinely sophisticated."
"The rose water is optional, but if you have it, I'd encourage you to try it just once. It transforms this from a regular smoothie into something that feels like a little moment of ceremony."
🌿 Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ¼ cup shelled roasted pistachios (unsalted)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon rose water (optional but beautiful)
- 4 ice cubes
✦ How I Prepare It
- Add pistachios and milk to the blender. Blend for 30 seconds to break down the nuts first.
- Add frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, and honey.
- Add rose water if using — it's subtle and makes this feel like a special occasion.
- Add ice and blend on high until completely smooth.
- Pour into a glass and optionally top with a few crushed pistachios.
