Iced Latte with Protein Milk (Double Blonde Espresso) Calories

It is made with protein-enriched milk, ice, and two Blonde Espresso shots. Whether a particular serving also includes syrup or another addition depends on how it is prepared, so ask when ordering if you want the ingredient details.

Blonde Espresso is generally lighter and milder in flavor than espresso made from darker-roasted beans. The two shots still give this iced latte a noticeable coffee taste, balanced by the creamy protein milk.

It can be a convenient post-workout drink because the protein milk contributes protein. It also contains caffeine, so consider your sensitivity and timing, and drink water as needed rather than relying on the latte for hydration.

Yes. Pour protein-enriched milk over ice, then add two shots of Blonde Espresso. Letting the espresso cool briefly before adding it can help keep the ice from melting too quickly.

No. Protein milk is milk with a higher protein content, while a protein shake is a separate drink usually made with a protein supplement. This latte gets its protein from the milk, not from the espresso.

It may taste creamier, but protein milk alone does not tell you whether the drink has added sweetener. The taste depends on the milk and any syrup or sweetener used; ask for the preparation details if you want to avoid added sweetness.

You can, but its two espresso shots provide caffeine that may interfere with sleep, especially if you are sensitive to it. If you are having it close to bedtime, consider a decaffeinated option instead.

It may, because protein-enriched milk is still dairy unless specifically made lactose-free. If you avoid lactose, ask which milk is used and whether a lactose-free version can be prepared.

It contributes fluid, but it should not be your only source of hydration. Coffee’s caffeine does not erase all of the drink’s fluid contribution for most people; drink water when you are thirsty.
