Starbucks lactose-free latte no cream (small) Calories

Usually, yes: lactose-free milk is used to make it easier to tolerate. It is still cow’s milk, though, so this drink is not suitable for someone with a milk-protein allergy.

The standard drink has no added syrup unless you request one. Lactose-free milk still contains naturally occurring milk sugars, and adding syrup or another sweetener increases the drink’s sugar content.

It is espresso combined with steamed lactose-free milk, with no whipped cream topping. A latte may have a thin layer of milk foam; that foam is part of the steamed milk, not whipped cream.

Yes, if the Starbucks location offers the drink and lactose-free milk for iced beverages. Ask for it iced; it is typically made with espresso, cold milk, and ice, though options can vary by market.

It can taste slightly sweeter than a latte made with regular milk. Lactose-free milk has its lactose broken down into simpler sugars, while the espresso and milk still give the drink its familiar latte character.

Yes, where decaf espresso is available, you can request it instead of regular espresso. The drink can still be made with lactose-free milk and without whipped cream, although decaf coffee may contain a small amount of caffeine.

No. Lactose-free describes the milk’s lactose content, not whether it comes from dairy; this latte still contains cow’s milk. It therefore is not suitable for someone avoiding dairy or allergic to milk proteins.

For best quality, drink it soon after purchase. If you need to keep leftovers, refrigerate them promptly in a covered container and consume them soon; discard the drink if it has been left at room temperature for a long time.

It can work before exercise if you tolerate caffeine and milk well. The espresso may feel energizing, but coffee can upset some people’s stomachs, so try it well before a workout rather than for the first time just beforehand.
