About Small iced latte

A small iced latte is a popular coffee beverage consisting of espresso mixed with chilled milk and served over ice. Originating from Italy, the latte, or 'caffe latte,' translates to 'milk coffee' and has become a global favorite. Typically, a small iced latte (12 oz) made with whole milk contains around 100-150 calories, 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of fat, and about 10-12 grams of carbohydrates. When made with alternative milks, the nutritional profile will vary. The espresso provides a modest caffeine content (approximately 80-100 mg per serving), while milk contributes essential macronutrients and micronutrients such as calcium and vitamins A and D if fortified.

Health Benefits

• Provides calcium (about 20% of the Daily Value per serving when made with dairy milk), essential for strong bones and teeth.
• Contains protein (8 grams per 12 oz with dairy milk), which supports muscle repair and growth.
• Moderate caffeine content (80-100 mg), which can enhance mental alertness and concentration.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (dairy), possible cross-contamination from nuts/soy in plant-based milk options

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free (when no added syrups or ingredients containing gluten are used)

Not suitable for: Vegan (unless made with plant-based milk), lactose-intolerant (unless lactose-free milk is used)

Selection and Storage

Serve immediately after preparation. If pre-made, refrigerate and consume within 24 hours to preserve flavor and food safety.

Common Questions About Small iced latte Nutrition

How many calories are in a small iced latte?

A small iced latte with regular milk contains approximately 100-150 calories, depending on the milk type and added sweeteners. If made with skim milk or unsweetened almond milk, the calorie count can be lower.

Is a small iced latte compatible with a vegan diet?

Yes, a small iced latte can be made vegan by using non-dairy milk alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk. Ensure that no dairy-based syrups or toppings are added for it to remain vegan-friendly.

What are the health benefits and concerns of drinking a small iced latte?

A small iced latte can provide caffeine, which may improve focus and energy levels, and some calcium from milk. However, concerns include added sugars in flavored syrups, which can contribute to excessive calorie consumption if not moderated.

What is the recommended serving size for a latte to maintain balance in a diet?

One small iced latte (8-12 oz) is generally an appropriate serving size for a light caffeine boost. Overconsumption of larger sizes or adding sugary syrups may lead to excess calorie and sugar intake.

How does a small iced latte compare to other coffee beverages?

A small iced latte contains more milk compared to an iced coffee, offering a creamier texture and additional nutrients like calcium and protein. However, it typically has fewer calories and sugar than frappuccinos or flavored coffee drinks, if unsweetened.
