Latte

If you’re a true latte lover, there’s no need to fear – small changes can make your drink a little easier on your waistline. If you’re watching your calories, ask for a traditional latte (which is unsweetened) and choose either low-fat milk or soy. If you’d like to sweeten your drink, add a calorie-free sugar substitute or sugar-free syrup. And if you just can’t live with out your favorite vanilla or hazelnut flavoring, ask for one pump of syrup instead of two which will lessen the calorie and sugar content.

Estimated Calories:

Low-fat Milk Latte: Around 190 Calories

Soy Latte: Around 170 Calories
