CALORIES

FIBER
1 cup (medium) of Nescafe with lactose-free milk (200 g) has 90 calories. That works out to 45 calories per 100 g. It contains 10.4 g of carbs, 4.2 g of protein, 2.6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.8 µg of B12 covers 33% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Nescafe with lactose-free milk is instant coffee prepared with lactose-free milk, making it a quick milky coffee for home, work or travel. The roasted, slightly bitter taste of the coffee is softened by the milk, giving the drink a smoother, creamier feel than black instant coffee. It can be served hot at breakfast or as an afternoon coffee with a biscuit or other small snack; stir the coffee into a little hot water before adding warmed milk for an even texture.
The milk gives it some protein and carbohydrate, while the coffee itself contributes very little energy. It is a modest drink rather than a filling meal, and leaving out added sugar keeps it simpler. Adjust the coffee-to-milk balance to suit how strong or creamy you like it.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, Nescafe with lactose-free milk contains caffeine from the instant coffee; lactose-free milk does not remove it. The amount varies with the coffee product and how much instant coffee you use.
Yes, lactose-free milk can make Nescafe taste slightly sweeter than regular milk. Its lactose has been broken down into simpler sugars, which taste sweeter, so you may want to add less sugar or try the coffee without any.
Yes, you can make iced Nescafe with lactose-free milk. Dissolve the instant coffee in a little hot water first, then add cold lactose-free milk and ice; the coffee may clump if you try to dissolve it directly in a cold drink.
Yes, it is generally a suitable coffee choice for someone with lactose intolerance because lactose-free milk has had its lactose broken down. It still contains milk proteins, so it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy.
Yes, you can heat lactose-free milk for Nescafe, but warm it gently rather than letting it boil. Add it gradually to the dissolved coffee and stir; overheating or a sudden temperature change can affect the drink’s texture.
It can, because the instant coffee contains caffeine, which may delay sleep or make sleep less restful. If caffeine affects you, have Nescafe with lactose-free milk earlier in the day; adding milk does not cancel the caffeine.
Yes, lactose-free milk can be frothed and added to Nescafe much like regular milk. The foam varies by milk brand and frothing method, so heat the milk gently and use a handheld frother or steam wand for a smoother topping.
It can sometimes look grainy if very hot coffee meets cold milk, or if the milk is no longer fresh. Dissolve the Nescafe first, let it cool slightly, and stir in fresh lactose-free milk gradually to reduce the chance of curdling.
No, a cup does not automatically dehydrate you; the water in the drink contributes to fluid intake. Caffeine can increase urination somewhat, particularly in people who are not used to it, but this does not make coffee inherently dehydrating.
Usually, it can be made without added sugar, but lactose-free milk still contains milk sugars that can affect blood glucose. The effect depends on the serving and your individual plan, so discuss regular use with your clinician or dietitian if you manage diabetes.
