A skinny vanilla latte is a lighter version of a classic vanilla latte, typically made with non-fat or skim milk and sugar-free vanilla syrup. It is a popular choice for those who are health-conscious or seeking a lighter beverage option. The drink usually consists of espresso, steamed non-fat milk, and sugar-free vanilla syrup, resulting in a lower fat and calorie content compared to a traditional vanilla latte. The use of non-fat or skim milk gives the latte a stronger taste and a higher caffeine content compared to a regular latte. The addition of sugar-free vanilla syrup provides a subtle, sweet hint of vanilla without being overpowering. This healthier alternative to a classic vanilla latte is available at various coffee shops, including Starbucks, and can also be made at home using plant-based ingredients.
