About Oat latte

An oat latte is a coffee beverage made with espresso and steamed oat milk, a plant-based alternative to dairy milk. Originating from the rise of non-dairy milk options in modern cuisine, particularly in Western societies, oat lattes have become popular for their naturally creamy texture and subtle sweetness. Oat milk is typically made from oats, water, and sometimes added vitamins and minerals, making it suitable for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. Nutritionally, oat milk provides moderate calories and carbohydrates alongside small amounts of protein. It is often fortified with nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, contributing to a balanced dietary intake.

Health Benefits

• Supports bone health due to fortification with calcium and vitamin D.
• Promotes heart health as oats contain soluble fiber, specifically beta-glucan, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels.
• Provides energy through its natural carbohydrate content, making it a good choice for an active lifestyle.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains oats (may contain gluten if made from non-certified oats), tree nuts (if flavored oat milk contains nut-based additives)

Suitable for: Vegan, lactose-free

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless certified gluten-free), low-carb or ketogenic diets

Selection and Storage

Store oat milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume typically within 7-10 days after opening.

Common Questions About Oat latte Nutrition

How many calories and how much protein does an oat latte have?

A standard 12-ounce oat latte made with oat milk contains approximately 120-180 calories and 2-3 grams of protein, depending on the oat milk brand and added sweeteners. Oat milk typically has more carbohydrates compared to other milk alternatives but offers small amounts of fiber and B vitamins.

Is an oat latte suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet?

Yes, oat lattes are typically vegan and vegetarian-friendly as long as the oat milk is labeled vegan (some brands may use additives not suitable for vegans). They also do not contain any animal-derived ingredients when served without additional non-vegan toppings like whipped cream.

Are oat lattes healthy, and do they have any downsides?

Oat lattes can be a healthy choice as they provide some fiber, beta-glucans for heart health, and are naturally dairy-free, making them a good option for lactose-intolerant individuals. However, oat milk contains more sugar and carbohydrates compared to unsweetened almond or coconut milk, which may not be suitable for low-carb diets.

What is the recommended serving size for an oat latte?

For most individuals, a single 8 to 12-ounce oat latte is a reasonable portion size. Choosing unsweetened oat milk and limiting added syrups or sweeteners can help keep the drink lower in sugar and calories while enjoying its creamy texture and flavor.

How does an oat latte compare to a regular latte with dairy milk?

An oat latte is typically creamier and has a slightly sweeter taste compared to a dairy-based latte. It contains fewer calories than a latte made with whole milk but has more sugar and carbohydrates due to the natural starches in oats. While oat milk is cholesterol-free and better for those avoiding dairy, it has less protein than cow's milk.
