Cappuccinos and lattes are espresso-based drinks made with steamed milk, providing the caffeine of espresso alongside the calcium, iodine, protein, and riboflavin of whole or semi-skimmed milk. A standard 350ml latte with whole milk provides around 150-180 kcal and 300mg calcium — a meaningful contribution to daily dairy intake. Flavoured syrups and whipped cream dramatically increase sugar and calorie content.
A plain latte or cappuccino is a nutritious way to consume both caffeine and dairy; choose semi-skimmed for fewer calories. Avoid flavoured syrups, which can add 100-200 kcal and 20-40g sugar per pump.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
