Add 1 cup of soaked pistachios to a blender.

Add 1 avocado to the blender (optional) for creaminess.

Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender for protein.

Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.

Add 1 teaspoon of almond extract (optional) to enhance the pistachio flavor.

Add a pinch of sea salt to bring the flavors together.

Add maple syrup to taste as your sweetener.

Blend all ingredients together until silky smooth.

Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

Pour the blended mixture into a loaf pan.

Freeze for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring every half hour to avoid crystallization.
