An Iced Non-Dairy Latte is a chilled coffee beverage made with espresso or strong brewed coffee combined with a plant-based milk alternative, such as oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. It originated in Western coffee culture but has become a global staple, especially popular in urban cafes and among those avoiding dairy.
This drink is typically moderate in calories (around 100-200 kcal per serving, depending on milk and sweeteners), with most energy coming from carbohydrates if sweetened or from fats if using richer plant milks like coconut. It provides minimal protein unless using soy or pea milk, and offers small amounts of calcium and vitamins if the milk is fortified.

Culturally, it reflects the rise of plant-based and lactose-free diets, merging coffeehouse traditions with modern dietary preferences. Nutritionally, it's unique because plant milks vary widely in texture and nutrient profile—oat milk creates a creamy, frothy latte similar to dairy, while almond milk offers a lighter, nuttier taste with fewer calories.
