1 cup (medium) of Almond milk espresso (180 g) has 34 calories. That works out to 19 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.6 g of carbs, 0.9 g of protein, 1.4 g of fat and 0.4 g of fiber.

Almond milk espresso combines a concentrated shot of espresso with almond milk. Espresso comes from Italy, while the almond milk gives this version a plant-based alternative to the more familiar dairy-based coffee drinks. The balance depends on how much milk is added and whether it is sweetened.
Expect bold, roasted coffee softened by a mild nutty flavour and a smooth, pale foam. It is served in cafés around the world and works well as a morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up; a biscuit or piece of dark chocolate makes an easy accompaniment. Almond milk contains no lactose, and the drink can be a lighter-feeling choice than a richer milky coffee. For a less sweet cup, choose unsweetened almond milk and skip added syrup.

Almond milk espresso tastes like espresso softened by a mild, nutty creaminess. Unsweetened almond milk keeps the coffee flavor more pronounced, while sweetened versions make the drink noticeably sweeter.
Yes, almond milk espresso works well iced. Pour espresso over ice, then add cold almond milk and stir; adding the milk slowly helps it blend smoothly rather than forming pale streaks.
No, almond milk espresso made with almond milk contains no dairy ingredients. At a café, specify almond milk when ordering, since recipes and preparation practices can differ between locations.
Yes, you can make almond milk espresso without an espresso machine by using a moka pot or strong coffee brewed with an AeroPress. Froth warmed almond milk with a handheld frother, then pour it over the coffee.
Almond milk espresso can separate because espresso is acidic and the milk may react to its heat or acidity. Use fresh almond milk, warm it gently, and pour the espresso into the milk gradually while stirring.
Either works for almond milk espresso. Unsweetened almond milk lets the espresso's roasted flavor stand out, while sweetened almond milk gives the drink a dessert-like taste without adding a separate syrup.
Almond milk espresso can be reheated gently, but it may separate and lose its foam. Warm it slowly in a saucepan or microwave and stir; avoid boiling, which can make the texture less pleasant.
Almond milk espresso can be a convenient pre-workout drink because its espresso provides caffeine. Caffeine affects people differently, so avoid trying it for the first time just before an important or intense workout.
It can. Almond milk espresso contains caffeine, which may delay sleep or reduce sleep quality, especially when consumed later in the day. Choosing decaffeinated espresso is an option if you want the almond-milk coffee flavor without as much caffeine.
