Decaffeinated Latte Coffee (1 Medium)

Order a smaller decaffeinated latte and avoid flavored syrups, sugar, honey, chocolate powder, and sweetened whipped toppings.

Choose unsweetened milk with less carbohydrate, such as unsweetened almond milk, rather than sweetened plant milks or a large amount of regular milk.

Ask for fewer milk ounces or add an extra decaf espresso shot so the drink remains satisfying with less milk-derived sugar.

Have the latte alongside a protein- and fat-containing option such as a boiled egg, a small handful of nuts, or plain Greek yogurt without added sugar.

Drink it with or after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach, and avoid pairing it with pastries, muffins, or sweet breakfast foods.

Track your response to different milk types and portion sizes; if spikes remain frequent or substantial, discuss them with your clinician or dietitian.
