How to Make Your Favorite Latte Healthier

how to order a healthier latte

Looking to eat healthier but don’t want to give up your favorite latte? You might not have to! Here are few tricks you can use to cut down the fat, sugar, or calories in your daily latte.

I’ve also added a list of low calorie coffee beverages from Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, and Peet’s Coffee!

How to Make Your Favorite Latte Healthier

How to Make Your Favorite Latte Healthier

  1. Order non-fat dairy milk to eliminate the fat in your drink and lower calories (soy, almond, and coconut milk are also healthy options but still provide fat and calories).
  2. Ask for no whipped cream.
  3. Keep your portion size modest by ordering a size Grande (16 fl. oz.) or smaller. Don’t forget you can order a Short (8 fl. oz.) even though it isn’t typically shown on the menu.
  4. Ask for sugar free syrup or fewer pumps of syrup.
  5. Make it an iced latte instead of hot. It will be less calories, as long as you keep the cup size the same. This is because the ice takes up a considerable amount of room in the cup, causing there to be less latte.
