Iced latte with lactose-free milk and hazelnut syrup Calories

Pour espresso over ice, add cold lactose-free milk, then stir in hazelnut syrup. Adding the syrup gradually lets you control the sweetness and keeps the drink from becoming overwhelmingly sugary.

Yes. Lactose-free milk has had its lactose broken down or removed, but it still contains milk proteins such as casein and whey. The drink is therefore not suitable for someone with a milk-protein allergy.

Not necessarily. Many hazelnut syrups get their flavor from added flavorings and sweeteners rather than hazelnuts themselves; recipes differ by brand. The word “hazelnut” alone does not tell you whether actual nuts are used.

Yes. Ask for the syrup to be left out, or request a smaller amount if you want to keep some hazelnut flavor. Without the syrup, the drink will taste more like espresso and milk than a sweet flavored latte.

An iced latte is espresso, milk, ice, and—in this case—hazelnut syrup. A Frappuccino is typically a blended, ice-based coffee drink and may include additional sweeteners or toppings, so its texture and recipe are different.

It can. Lactose-free milk avoids most lactose-related symptoms, but espresso may still trigger heartburn or stomach discomfort in some people, and a sweet syrup may feel heavy. Try a smaller drink or have it with food if you notice symptoms.

Yes. Milk and hazelnut syrup provide energy, so this drink is not compatible with a strict fast that allows only water or other non-caloric drinks. Have it after your fasting window instead.

Keep it covered and refrigerated, and drink it as soon as practical. As the ice melts, the flavor becomes diluted, and a milk-based coffee tastes best freshly prepared rather than stored for later.

It can work before exercise if you tolerate coffee well, since its espresso provides caffeine. The syrup makes it sweet, so choose less syrup if that suits you better, and avoid it close to exercise if coffee upsets your stomach.
