SOY MILK LATTE REGULAR 330ml, £2.45 Calories 113 Saturated fats 1g Sugars 6g Protein 9.3g PRET uses calcium-fortified soy milk, but apple juice is used to sweeten it. This means you’ll get one-anda-half teaspoons of free sugars per latte, which is less than in the soy lattes from Starbucks, Caffè Nero and Costa, but still a fifth of your daily limit.

RICE-COCONUT MILK LATTE REGULAR 360ml, £2.85

Calories 50 Saturated fat 1.8g Sugars 16.3g Protein 0.8g THIS has the secondhigh­est sugar content of all the lattes. The combinatio­n of coconut and rice milk (made using rice that is soaked and then strained) means that it contains a whopping four teaspoons of naturally-occurring, but ‘free’, sugars.

This constitute­s almost half of the recommende­d daily limit.

The rice-coconut is also unfortifie­d, so it’s not comparable with dairy lattes on calcium content.

The low-protein, highsugar combinatio­n is poor when it comes to satisfying hunger.

You can expect to feel a fleeting lift from the caffeine and sugar before hunger quickly kicks in – a result of the sugar causing spikes and then dips, in blood sugar.
