"This drink is delicious and also gives you a nice mouthfeel with the foam on top," says Miller. "The 16-ounce version of the drink is only 80 calories, so it's a great option to choose," she adds.

"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.
