   Pour the semi-skimmed milk into your blender first so the blades turn freely.

2. 2

   Add the pistachios, banana and almond extract.

3. 3

   Spoon in the whey protein on top of the other ingredients so the powder does not stick to the jug.

4. 4

   Add the ice last.

   Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more liquid if it is too thick, or a little more ice to thicken it.
