CAFFÈ NERO

SOY MILK LATTE GRANDE 330ml, £2.65

Calories 122 Saturated fat 0.7g Sugars 7g Protein 9g AS WITH all soy lattes across the big chains, this contains soy milk that’s sweetened – with concentrat­ed apple extract in this case – providing nearly a quarter of your total daily limit of free sugars. That more than offsets the benefits of the small 13 calorie saving. This one is at least fortified with calcium, though.

COCONUT MILK LATTE GRANDE 330ml, £3.05

Calories 97 Saturated fat 0.5g Sugars 8g Protein 4.7g COCONUT milk varies greatly in the amount of saturated fat it contains, depending on how much actual coconut there is in it: the more coconut, the higher the sat fat.

This contains a surprising­ly low 0.5g – more than 90 per cent less than the Starbucks version. But the low saturated fat is outweighed by the excess ‘free’ sugar; two teaspoons per drink and almost a third of your 30g a day limit.

OAT MILK LATTE GRANDE 330ml, £3.05

Calories 134 Saturated fat 0.5g Sugars 10.9g Protein 1.5g THIS isn’t sweetened, but still contains as much sugar as two marshmallo­w sweets. It comes naturally from the oats, but is still classified as ‘free’ sugar.

For the same number of calories as a dairy milk drink,

you’ll get only a tenth of the protein. However, oat milk does supply beta glucan fibre that helps to lower cholestero­l and protects against bowel cancer, and this is fortified with calcium, so it’s not all bad.
