I am sure it’s no surprise to anyone that the milk/macchiato combo that brings the highest calories is the full fat milk version. We understand that the choice of milk you like in your coffee feels surprisingly personal but making a swap to a less calorific option can be a smart choice. However as calories of a caramel sauce or vanilla syrup can differ so drastically based on which brand a coffee shop or you decide to use, we thought best to focus on a change you can make that is a little more consistent. I am sure you are thinking there is no way the milk is the ‘problem-child’ from a calorie standpoint in this tasty drink. We have outlined above how the calories in a caramel macchiato differ significantly depending on the milk that is used. What is making up the calories and exploring milk options What is a real macchiato (.and why Starbucks happens to call their version a macchiato) If you’re a Starbucks aficionado why not comment bellow? How can the iced version add calories? Well we believe they’re adding a little extra sugar to counter the reduction in milk. Now we know the last one is a little strange. Venti (large) iced caramel macchiato (320 calories).Venti (large) caramel macchiato with coconut milk (250 calories).Venti (large) caramel macchiato with almond milk (212 calories).Venti (large) caramel macchiato with skimmed milk (250 calories).Venti (large) caramel macchiato with full-fat milk (310 calories).So now you won’t feel so bad when we tell you that the caramel macchiato has the following calories: The top 3 most calorific choices at your local Starbucks (Based on a large size - “Venti”) are White Chocolate Mocha (620 calories), Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino (590 calories) and the Java Frappuchino (580 calories). We started wondering what the calorie content is in our occasional coffee treat, and funnily enough it’s not as much as some of Starbucks top offenders. Although we aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of Starbucks here at Caffin8 (We have some opinions on what makes a great coffee), we are actually pretty big fans of the very decadent caramel macchiato.
