Pistachio Smoothies For Breakfast

Wracking your brain for something utterly delicious but no one has ever had before? This is a goodie. It is not in my B & B Cookbook, so you are getting it here now.

 

  • 2 1/2 cup plain yogurt (NOT GREEK)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cups pistachios (salted, in shell)
  • 1 tsp. ginger syrup
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream

Spend a couple of minutes and shell the pistachios and coarsely chop.

In a blender put all the ingredients, except the whipping cream and blend until completely smooth. Add the whipping cream and blend a few seconds until a nice, thick consistency (not too thick like a milkshake).

Pour into pretty, chilled glasses and top with some crushed pistachios.

Serve with croissants, butter, slices of melon, coffee….yummmmm What a way to start the day. Our guests would have loved this one. They will probably want more – make them wait until the next time around.

Midori Martini

For a fruity flavoured martini, you might want to try this one. Always chill your martini glasses before preparing drinks.

You will need:

  • 6 parts vodka
  • 2 parts Midori Melon Liqueur
  • 1 part lime juice

Pour ingredients into a shaker with cracked ice and mix well. Strain into chilled glasses. Garnish with a slice of honeydew melon.
