About Iced flat white

An iced flat white is a coffee-based beverage originating from Australia and New Zealand, now popular worldwide. It consists of a shot or double shot of espresso combined with chilled milk and served over ice, creating a creamy and refreshing drink. Nutritionally, it provides a moderate amount of calories depending on milk type, with macronutrients such as carbohydrates (from milk sugars), protein (from milk), and minimal fat. A typical iced flat white contains around 80-120 calories for a small serving, with approximately 4-6 grams of protein and 8-12 grams of carbohydrates. Variations in caloric content arise from the type of milk used, such as whole, skim, or plant-based options.

Health Benefits

• Provides a good source of calcium from milk, which supports bone health.
• Contains protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, particularly in dairy or protein-rich plant-based milk varieties.
• Naturally contains caffeine, which can enhance mental alertness and focus in moderate consumption.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (dairy), possible cross-contact with nuts or soy (if using plant-based milk)

Suitable for: Lacto-vegetarian, vegetarian (with plant-based milk)

Not suitable for: Vegans (unless prepared with plant-based milk), individuals with lactose intolerance (unless using lactose-free milk), those allergic to dairy or other milk alternatives used

Selection and Storage

For the best taste, prepare fresh. Store brewed espresso and milk separately in the refrigerator if prepped ahead, but consume within 24 hours.

Common Questions About Iced flat white Nutrition

Is an Iced Flat White high in protein?

An Iced Flat White contains a small amount of protein due to the milk used in its preparation. One serving typically has around 4-8 grams of protein, depending on the milk type used (whole milk, skim milk, or plant-based options). Protein content may vary if you opt for non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or oat milk.

Can I drink an Iced Flat White on a keto diet?

An Iced Flat White can fit into a keto diet if made with unsweetened options and heavy cream or whole milk instead of regular milk, as standard milk contains higher carbohydrates. Be cautious about added sweeteners, as they can increase the carb count significantly.

Are there any health benefits or concerns associated with an Iced Flat White?

An Iced Flat White provides a moderate caffeine boost which may enhance alertness and focus. However, health concerns arise from added sugars and syrups, which contribute empty calories. Opting for unsweetened versions and mindful portion sizes can make it a healthier option.

What is the recommended serving size for an Iced Flat White?

The typical serving size for an Iced Flat White is around 12 fl oz (a medium size cup) to 16 fl oz. It's important to consider calorie content, which can range from 120-200 calories depending on milk choice and added sweeteners.

How does an Iced Flat White compare to other iced coffee beverages?

An Iced Flat White is smoother and has a stronger coffee flavor compared to iced lattes, as it is made with ristretto shots resulting in a richer espresso base. It also typically contains less milk than an iced latte, giving it a creamier texture without being overly diluted.
