About Flat white latte
The Flat White Latte is a popular espresso-based coffee beverage originating from Australia or New Zealand. It is made with a single or double shot of espresso combined with microfoam, which is steamed milk with a velvety texture. Unlike a latte, the flat white has a higher coffee-to-milk ratio, offering a stronger coffee flavor. Nutritionally, a typical 8-ounce serving of flat white made with whole milk provides approximately 120 calories, 6 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbohydrates, and 7 grams of fat. It also supplies a small amount of calcium, vitamin B12, and riboflavin. Plant-based milk alternatives are often used for varied dietary preferences, which may slightly alter the nutritional profile.
Health Benefits
- Rich in protein from milk, supporting muscle repair and growth (6g per 8 oz serving with whole milk).
- Provides calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth (20-25% of the daily value per serving with dairy milk).
- Contains vitamin B12, important for energy metabolism and red blood cell formation (15% of the daily value with dairy milk).
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Consume immediately after preparation for optimal flavor and texture. Store unopened milk in the refrigerator at 34-40°F (1-4°C) and use before the expiration date.
Common Questions About Flat white latte Nutrition
How many calories and how much protein does a flat white latte have?
A flat white latte made with whole milk contains approximately 120–170 calories and 6–8 grams of protein per 8-ounce serving. The exact values can vary depending on the milk used and whether any sugar or syrup is added.
Is a flat white compatible with a keto or low-carb diet?
A flat white can be compatible with a keto or low-carb diet if made with unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream instead of regular milk, as these options reduce carbohydrate content. Whole milk contains around 12 grams of carbs per cup, which may not fit strict keto guidelines.
Is drinking a flat white latte healthy?
A flat white latte can be part of a healthy diet if consumed in moderation. It provides calcium and protein from the milk, but added sugar (from syrups or sweeteners) can increase calorie load and reduce health benefits. Opting for unsweetened milk or alternative milk can make it healthier.
What is the recommended serving size of a flat white latte?
An 8-ounce serving (commonly called a 'small' or 'regular size') is recommended to keep portion sizes moderate. Larger servings, such as 16 ounces, can significantly increase calorie, fat, and carbohydrate intake due to the larger milk content.
How does a flat white compare to a latte or cappuccino?
A flat white has a stronger coffee flavor than a latte because it uses less milk and incorporates microfoam instead of frothy foam. It is creamier than a cappuccino, which has more foam and air. The flat white typically has a velvety texture due to the technique of steaming and pouring milk.
