About these numbers
Plain lattes are calorie-modest (~190 kcal for a grande with whole milk) and provide meaningful protein (10g) from the milk. The flavored varieties — Pumpkin Spice, Caramel, Vanilla, Frappuccinos — add 20-50g of syrup-based sugar, transforming a coffee drink into a 350-450 kcal dessert. The pumpkin spice latte in particular delivers more added sugar (50g) than a Snickers bar.
