Order A Venti Decaf Latte With 2 Percent Milk
"I order a venti decaf latte with 2 percent milk," says registered dietitian Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD. "The milk gives me a boost of protein and fat to help keep me satisfied, while also providing some minerals to help keep my bones healthy," she adds. In addition, she notes that the decaf coffee inside this beverage also provides some natural antioxidants as well.
