For many people, coffee is an essential part of every morning. Some add milk to it, others drink it with cinnamon, and there are enthusiasts of sweet variations like pumpkin spice latte.

If you love coffee and the pistachio craze has reached you, you'll enjoy this drink from the first sip. It will diversify your morning routine and bring a range of health benefits.

Pistachio coffee

The intense aroma of coffee combined with the delicate sweetness of pistachios creates a unique flavor. The simplest way to enjoy this is to add a teaspoon of pistachio paste to hot coffee. You can use either espresso or traditionally brewed coffee. For a creamier consistency, try a pistachio latte. Simply froth the milk and add it to the espresso with pistachio paste.

For the best results, choose pistachio paste that contains only nuts and nothing else. Unfortunately, some products are enriched with sugar, salt, or oil, which are unnecessary.

Pistachio paste - health benefits

Pistachio paste is a delicious addition to coffee and a source of many valuable nutrients. It contains B vitamins and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and potassium, essential for our bodies. Thanks to its fiber content, we feel full longer, and our intestines work more efficiently. In this way, coffee with pistachio paste can support weight loss. It helps us feel better and gives us more energy to take action. However, it's worth noting that pistachio paste is relatively high in calories, so it should be an addition to the diet, not its foundation.

Of course, coffee with pistachio paste alone won't do all the work. We must remember to exercise and eat healthily, but this drink can be a delightful addition to our diet.
