Variation of Ninja Creami Pistachio Ice Cream:

For the milk use any milk you like, whole milk, skim milk or any in between. Also, coconut milk and Almond milk can be used but will alter the flavor.
You can add a few drops of green food coloring but my family likes the natural color and the natural nutty flavor of pistachios.
I used half and half but heavy cream can be used also, just check the fat content that you want to use.
To also get the green color you can add 1 tablespoon pistachio pudding mix.
