This homemade pistachio milk is a dairy-free, plant-based milk that's incredibly creamy, subtly nutty, and naturally sweetened with Medjool dates. It's easy to make, requires just 5 simple ingredients, and delivers a beautiful pale green hue and silky texture. Enjoy it as a refreshing drink on its own, pour it into your morning coffee or hot chocolate, or use it in a variety of dishes. It's one of the most delicious and unique non-dairy milks you can make at home!
I've been on a big homemade plant-based milk kick lately. So far, I've tried Sunflower Seed Milk, Homemade Hazelnut Milk, and Pumpkin Seed Milk (each one unique and delicious). This time, I'm going for pistachio milk, and it totally delivers. It feels so luxurious and tastes unbelievably creamy and subtly sweet. All these non-dairy milk options taste like a treat, especially when made with the Kuvings AUTO10 Plus juicer.
Once you experience this dreamy pistachio milk, it's nearly impossible to go back to store-bought options. Besides its ultra-smooth texture and vibrant, lightly nutty flavor, what I adore most is that it's completely free of gums, fillers, or hidden additives. Sweetened naturally with dates and made using only simple, whole-food ingredients, this homemade pistachio milk is truly irresistible.
The Kuvings AUTO10 Plus juicer is a total game-changer for making plant-based milks at home. There's no straining, no fuss, and you get the most velvety pistachio milk every single time. So, if you're in the market for a new juicer or looking to upgrade, definitely check it out, and don't forget to use code NATURALVEGAN for 10% off your purchase. Let's make some pistachio milk!

Ingredients To Make This Pistachio Milk Recipe:
You'll only need a handful of simple ingredients to create this magic.
- Raw Pistachios: They add a rich, slightly sweet flavor and beautiful pale green color. They also have numerous health benefits and are loaded with nutrients. Soaked pistachios are the key to that rich, creamy texture and beautiful color.
- Medjool Dates: They add natural sweetness and a subtle caramel flavor. And similar to my Birthday Cake Smoothie, it adds fiber to support weight loss and keep blood sugar stable.
- Sea Salt: You only need just a touch to balance the flavors.
- Vanilla Bean Powder or Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, inviting flavor.
- Filtered Water: Adjust based on how creamy or light you want your milk.

How To Make It:
Let me show you how super easy it is to make this plant-based milk alternative with the Kuvings AUTO10 Plus juicer. This method ensures you extract every last creamy drop from your soaked pistachio nuts.
- Soak: Combine raw pistachios and dates in a large bowl. Cover with filtered water and soak for 4-6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well-don't toss soaking water.
- Juice: Add soaked nuts, dates, and water to your juicer. Add salt and vanilla. Juice until smooth and creamy.
- Store or Enjoy: Enjoy immediately or store in a mason jar, seal, and refrigerate for later.
Top Tips:
Here are all the best tips to make your own pistachio milk.
- Soak: Make sure to soak your nuts and dates! It helps soften the pistachios, making them easier to blend (or juice) and resulting in a much creamier, smoother milk. It also helps the dates blend seamlessly for natural sweetness throughout.
- Consistency: Use less water if you prefer a thicker milk (perfect for making pistachio ice cream or creamy lattes like my Iced Vanilla Rose Latte).
- Extra Sweetness: Add a drizzle of maple syrup if you like extra sweetness.
- Storage and Serving Suggestion: Give it a good shake before serving after storage because separation is natural.
Variations And Substitutions:
- Add Warmer Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Don't Have a Juicer? If you don't have a juicer, you can absolutely use a high-speed blender and strain the milk with a nut milk bag. However, the juicer method is easier, less messy, and gives you that ultra-smooth, creamy texture. Plus, if you're really into juicing or making healthy plant-based milks at home (which I highly recommend!), investing in a Kuvings AUTO10 Plus juicer is totally worth it, regardless of whether you're following a plant-based diet or not. It's a long-term investment that will save you money over time and make the process effortless.
- Sweetener: Try sweetening with maple syrup or agave instead of dates. Simply stir it in after juicing.
- Pistachio Butter: Stir in a spoonful of pistachio butter for an even richer, more decadent flavor if you plan to enjoy the milk on its own.
Storage:
Store your homemade pistachio milk in an airtight mason jar or glass bottle in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days. Remember to give it a good shake before each use, as natural separation is normal.
Equipment Needed:
- Kuvings AUTO10 Plus Juicer: For making the pistachio milk (or a high-powered blender and nut milk bag if a juicer isn't available).
- Large Bowl: For soaking the nuts and dates.
- Mason Jar or Sealed Glass Bottle: For storage.
