FAQ
Is a flavored non-dairy latte healthy?
It can be a lower-calorie, dairy-free option, but the main health consideration is the added sugar from the flavored syrup. Choosing sugar-free syrups or requesting less syrup makes it a lighter choice.
Which non-dairy milk froths best for a latte?
Oat milk, particularly barista blends, is renowned for creating a creamy, stable foam. Soy milk also froths well, while almond and coconut milk can produce a lighter foam.
Does the flavored syrup add any nutritional value?
Typically, flavored syrups provide flavor and sugar but minimal to no significant vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients. Their primary contribution is calories from carbohydrates.
