Ingredients
- 300 grams Shelled pistachios
- 50 grams Unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shelled pistachios evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 2
Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes until they are warm to the touch.
Step 3
Transfer the warm pistachios to a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 5-7 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add in the coconut oil, unflavored whey protein powder, honey, and salt. Blend again for another 2-3 minutes or until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is smooth.
Step 5
Taste the pistachio butter and adjust the sweetness or salt to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter butter, add more honey, or if you like it saltier, add a small pinch more salt.
Step 6
Transfer the pistachio butter to an airtight container or jar. For the best consistency, let it cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Step 7
This high protein pistachio butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using each time.
