Raw Vegan Creamy “Pistachio Ice Cream” Thickie Shake

Raw Vegan Creamy “Pistachio Ice Cream” Thickie Shake

This Raw Vegan Creamy “Pistachio Ice Cream” Thickie Shake can also be easily turned into a complete meal replacement if you include the optional extra healthy fillers such as oats.  

You can also easily convert this smoothie into a protein shake by including the optional natural plant based protein such as nuts or seeds.  

You can turn this recipe into a green smoothie by including the optional leafy greens in this recipe.

This has got to be one of the one dessert thickies I think most people will love due to it’s creamy nature and neutral sweet taste.

When I saw the buzz surrounding this Pistachio Ice Cream smoothie on Healthy Blender Recipes, I had to include my version of it as part of my Dessert Thickie series. 

Of course I have added my signature oats to it which makes it even creamier.My Baby and I enjoying a Raw Vegan Creamy “Pistachio Ice Cream” Thickie Shake Ice Lolly

The original recipe, Sweet Kale Shake was created by Sun Café in LA which I haven’t had the pleasure of trying but I hear it has won awards!

My baby and I enjoyed these Creamy Pistachio Ice Cream Lollies on a rare sunny (but still cold) day in Inverness, Scotland. 

I made some with kale added and some without and they were both delicious.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Cups Water
  • 1 Cup Kale, (optional for this dessert thickie)
  • 2 Bananas
  • ½ Cup Cashew nuts
  • 1 Cup Oats (use raw oat groats if following a raw food diet or oatmeal if you don’t have a powerful blender)
  • 3 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ Teaspoon fresh or ground ginger
  • Optional: If you want to make it more of an ice cream consistency, substitute 2 of the Cups of Water for Ice.

See all of my favorite essential healthy ingredients needed to make these recipes AND all of the best resources and products I can’t live without by clicking here.

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients in the order listed.
  2. Blend the ingredients a few at a time so that your blender can cope with the work, unless you’ve got a high powered blender, then you might be able to add them all in at once.
  3. If it gets too thick, add more water as necessary.
  4. If your blender has made the smoothie too warm, you can either cool it down in the fridge or freezer, or add some ice cubes or frozen fruit to it (You may need to add more water as this will thicken it further).

Notes

  • The quantity produced varies slightly from recipe to recipe depending on the consistency of the ingredients used and may be a different colour to the photo.
  • Half of this recipe should serve one person for breakfast and keep you going until lunch (or any other meal). You can always save the other smoothie for your next meal or the next day, or share it and give someone else an energy boost.

Allergens

  • If you want to ensure this recipe is gluten free or wheat free, either use gluten free oats or substitute the oats for another healthy gluten free grain such as brown rice or quinoa.
  • If you want to ensure this recipe is raw, ensure all your ingredients are raw. Include raw oat groats or raw buckwheat. Include raw nut or seed milk or water instead of the oat milk.
  • All the Green Thickie recipes on this website are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and are dairy free. They do not include any animal products at all.
  • If you are avoiding soya, use a soya free milk.
  • Feel free to add a healthy sweetener that fits in with your diet or avoid extra sweeteners altogether. Feel free to substitute sweeteners with whole fruits such as date to increase the sweetness.
  • All the recipes are sugar free.
  • No green thickie recipes contain salt.
  • All recipes are suitable for babies as they contain no salt or sugar.
  • Substitute seeds for nuts to make these recipes nut free if you are avoiding potential allergens.
  • If you want to check if you can drink green thickies on your special diet, please read this first.

Get results like this...Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

    I am really enjoying your recipes! I’ve had one every day for nearly a week now, I’ve just had this one this morning and I loved it! I found I didn’t need any sweetener at all, I think the banana was enough for me :) I’d like to try it again with pistachios instead of cashews just to see how it affects the flavour, and I just bought some ice lolly moulds last week so I can’t wait to try it that way :)

    My favourites are the apple pie smoothie and the gingerbread, so good! Thank you :)

      Aww, many thanks for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you liked so many of my recipes. It means a lot to me that you are enjoying them so much. I’m glad you didn’t need any extra sweetener as it’s healthier without it. I think I just have a sweet tooth which is why most of my recipes contain dates unless I’m trying out someone else’s recipe. Yes it’s a great way to get really easy ice cream by just pouring it into a mould. I’ve got many more delicious recipes to share coming soon.
