About Skinny cappuccino

A skinny cappuccino is a lighter version of the classic Italian coffee beverage, crafted with espresso and steamed skim milk or a milk alternative. Originating from Italy, cappuccinos are a staple in global cafe culture. The 'skinny' variation reduces calorie content by using low-fat milk, making it a popular choice for those seeking lower-calorie options. Nutritional values in a skinny cappuccino heavily depend on the type of milk used, but a typical serving contains around 50-90 calories, 2-6 grams of protein, and minimal fat and sugar. It also provides small amounts of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins such as B2 (riboflavin) and B12, known to support bone and energy metabolism.

Health Benefits

• Provides calcium from the skim milk, essential for strong bones and teeth.
• Contains riboflavin (vitamin B2), which aids energy production and improves skin health.
• Includes phosphorus from skim milk, supporting healthy cell function and energy metabolism.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, coffee

Suitable for: Low-fat diet, calorie-conscious diet, vegetarian diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (unless plant milk is used), lactose-intolerant individuals (unless lactose-free milk is used)

Selection and Storage

How does Skinny Cappuccino compare to a regular cappuccino?
