For many people, coffee is an essential part of every morning. Some add milk to it, others drink it with cinnamon, and there are also fans of sweet variations like pumpkin spice latte. However, there is one addition that can help with shedding extra pounds while enhancing the flavour so much that chain coffee shops might become obsolete.

If you love coffee and the pistachio craze has reached you too, you will relish this drink from the first sip. It will not only diversify your morning routine but also offer a range of health benefits.

Pistachio coffee

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

It is best to choose pistachio paste that contains only nuts and nothing else. Unfortunately, some products are enriched with sugar, salt, or oil, which are definitely not needed.

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 body. Thanks to the fibre content, we feel full longer, and our intestines function more efficiently. This way, coffee with pistachio paste can support weight loss. This can help us feel better and have more energy to act. However, it is worth remembering that pistachio paste itself is quite high in calories, so it should be an addition to the diet, not its foundation.

Of course, coffee with pistachio paste alone will not do all the work. We must remember about exercise and healthy eating, but this drink can be a pleasant addition to our diet.
