About Double shot latte

A Double Shot Latte is a coffee-based beverage made by combining two shots of espresso with steamed milk, often originating from Italian café culture. Rich in flavor and creamy texture, this drink is a popular choice for coffee enthusiasts seeking a balance between robust coffee and the smoothness of milk. From a nutritional perspective, a typical 12-ounce serving contains approximately 120-190 calories depending on the choice of milk, along with 6-10 grams of protein, 8-12 grams of carbohydrate, and 4-7 grams of fat. It also provides a modest amount of calcium (10-20% of the daily recommended intake) and caffeine (~150-200 mg) depending on the coffee blend and preparation style.

Health Benefits

• Boosts energy and focus due to its caffeine content (~150-200 mg) which stimulates the central nervous system.
• Supports bone health as it contains 10-20% of the daily recommended intake of calcium when made with dairy milk or fortified plant-based milk.
• Provides a protein source (6-10 grams per serving) which aids in muscle repair and maintenance.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (if made with dairy milk), lactose-intolerant individuals unless using lactose-free or plant-based milk

Selection and Storage

Double Shot Lattes are best consumed fresh, but components like espresso and milk can be stored separately. Use freshly brewed espresso and chilled milk for the best flavor and safety.

Common Questions About Double shot latte Nutrition

How many calories and how much protein does a double shot latte have?

A standard double shot latte made with 2 shots of espresso and 8 ounces of whole milk contains around 130-150 calories and 5-8 grams of protein. The exact values can vary based on the type of milk used (e.g., whole, skim, plant-based alternatives).

Can I drink a double shot latte on a keto diet?

A double shot latte can fit into a keto diet if made with unsweetened, low-carb milk alternatives like almond milk or heavy cream instead of regular milk. Traditional lattes with whole milk may contain 12-15 grams of carbs, which is high for a strict keto plan.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with drinking a double shot latte?

A double shot latte provides a moderate dose of caffeine, which can boost energy and focus, and the milk contributes calcium and protein. However, consuming too many can result in excessive caffeine intake, and added sweeteners can increase calorie and sugar levels significantly.

What is the recommended serving size for a double shot latte?

A standard serving size for a double shot latte is about 8-12 ounces, depending on how much milk is added. It's ideal to monitor portion sizes if you are watching your calorie or caffeine intake, as larger servings may exceed daily caffeine recommendations.

How does a double shot latte compare to a single shot latte?

A double shot latte contains twice the amount of espresso as a single shot latte, resulting in more caffeine (about 120-150 mg vs. 60-75 mg). This makes it stronger in flavor and energy boost, but also slightly higher in calories and espresso-related bitterness.
