So, what exactly contributes to the calorie count in a flat white? Well, it's mostly the milk - a large flat white with whole milk can contain around 100 calories from the milk alone! The espresso itself is relatively low in calories, with around 5-10 calories per shot.
But watch out for those extra toppings! A spoonful of sugar can add around 60 calories, while a dollop of whipped cream can add a whopping 100 calories or more. And don't even get me started on syrups - a pump or two of vanilla or hazelnut can add around 50-100 calories to your drink.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Is it worth it?" And to that, I say... absolutely! A flat white is a treat, and if you're going to indulge, you might as well enjoy every last sip. Just be aware of those hidden calories and try to balance it out with some healthier choices throughout the day.
