A Caramel Nonfat Latte is a popular coffeehouse beverage that combines espresso with steamed nonfat milk and a sweet caramel flavoring. It typically features a base of one or two shots of espresso, nonfat milk, and a caramel syrup or sauce drizzle. This drink is a staple in modern coffee shops worldwide, particularly in North America and Europe.
This latte is relatively low in fat due to the nonfat milk, but can be moderate to high in carbohydrates from the added caramel syrup. It provides a good source of calcium and protein from the milk, with a typical serving containing around 120-180 calories.

Culturally, it represents the fusion of traditional espresso drinks with sweeter, more indulgent flavors that gained massive popularity in the 1990s and 2000s. Nutritionally, using nonfat milk makes it a lighter alternative to whole-milk lattes while still delivering the caffeine kick and a touch of sweetness.
