How many calories are in an almond milk latte?
A 12 fl oz almond milk latte carries 61 calories. Almond milk itself runs 20 calories per 100 g, and the ten ounces of it steamed into the cup — 305 g — are the whole of that 61. Two shots of espresso would add about 5 calories on top. It is the lightest of the plant milk lattes on the board.
You'd need to walk about 12 minutes to burn the 61 calories in a 12 fl oz latte (305 g).

Almond milk latte quick facts
There is no single USDA record for a finished latte, so the honest way to cost one is to cost what is actually in the cup. A latte is steamed milk plus espresso, and with almond milk the milk is the whole story. The row used here is FNDDS 2705410, "Almond milk, NFS" at 20 calories per 100 g — the unlabeled coffee-shop standard that sits between the sweetened record at 30 and the unsweetened one at 15. If you do not know which carton the barista opened, this is the number that describes it.
The column below is a 12 fl oz cup: 10 fl oz of steamed almond milk, which weighs 305 g. That gram weight is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not a USDA serving, and the espresso contributes about 5 calories on top — small enough that it never changes which drink is cheaper.

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two label rows are missing here on purpose. USDA does not publish added sugars or trans fat for this record, so rather than guess at them we leave them out. Cholesterol is 0 mg, as you would expect from a nut beverage, and potassium comes to 95 mg in the cup, 2% of the Daily Value. The Daily Values used throughout are the FDA reference amounts for a 2,000-calorie day.
Cup sizes, from one ounce to 16
Coffee is ordered by cup size, not by grams, so here is the whole ladder. A 12 fl oz cup holds about 10 fl oz of milk once the espresso and foam take their share; a 16 fl oz holds about 14.
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 fl oz almond milk | 30.5 g | 6 kcal |
| 8 fl oz latte | 213 g | 43 kcal |
| 12 fl oz latte | 305 g | 61 kcal |
| 16 fl oz latte | 427 g | 85 kcal |
| 1 cup almond milk | 244 g | 49 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 20 kcal |
The one-cup line is the USDA household measure — 244 g, 49 calories, straight off the record. The three latte lines are our own arithmetic from that same 100 g figure, since USDA does not publish a barista serving. Note how flat the ladder is: going from a small to a large adds 42 calories, less than a single tablespoon of most syrups. This is the rare drink where ordering up barely costs you anything.
The gap between cartons is wider than the gap between cup sizes. Compare the two Foundation records for plain unsweetened almond milk: the refrigerated bottle runs 19.33 calories per 100 g while the shelf-stable carton runs 14.56. Poured as a one-cup latte that is 47 calories against 36 — same words on the front of the package, a quarter of the calories apart.
Unsweetened, sweetened and chocolate versions
Every number in the table below is the same 12 fl oz cup. Only the carton changes.
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical cup | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unsweetened almond milk | 15 kcal | 12 fl oz, 305 g | 46 kcal |
| Almond milk, NFS (the default) | 20 kcal | 12 fl oz, 305 g | 61 kcal |
| Sweetened almond milk | 30 kcal | 12 fl oz, 305 g | 92 kcal |
| Vanilla sweetened, ready to drink | 38 kcal | 12 fl oz, 305 g | 116 kcal |
| Chocolate almond milk, mocha style | 43 kcal | 12 fl oz, 305 g | 131 kcal |
Sweetened almond milk exactly doubles the unsweetened cup: 92 calories against 46. The sugar is where the difference sits — 12.2 g of total sugars in the sweetened version against 0 g in the unsweetened one. Ask which carton is on the counter and you have answered the calorie question for the whole drink.
Chocolate almond milk is a different animal. At 131 calories a cup it more than doubles the default latte, and it brings 21.3 g of total sugars with it. That is not a criticism of mocha; it is just worth knowing that the "almond milk" part of a chocolate almond milk latte is doing none of the saving.
Store cartons scatter the same way. Silk Almond Milk Original sits at 38 calories per 100 g, more than three times Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Original at 12, and Califia Farms Unsweetened lands at 15. If you make lattes at home, the carton you buy once decides every cup for the next two weeks.
Iced almond milk lattes
An iced 16 fl oz almond milk latte comes in lighter than a hot 12 fl oz one, which surprises most people. Ice takes up roughly half the cup, so about 8 fl oz of almond milk — 244 g — goes in, for 49 calories. The hot 12 ounce is 61. Bigger cup, colder drink, fewer calories.
That is worth remembering in July. Iced lattes get logged as indulgences because they look large, but the volume is water in solid form. What changes the math is what the shop pours in afterward: sweetened almond milk instead of plain, or a pump of syrup, and the drink jumps into the range of a small snack.
Sodium outranks protein in this cup
The number worth a second look on this label is not the calories. A 12 fl oz almond milk latte carries 180 mg of sodium, 8% of the Daily Value; a 16 fl oz carries 252 mg, or 11%. Protein over the same 16 ounces is 2.3 g, which is 5%. The salt in the cup outranks the protein by more than two to one on the label, and almost nobody expects that from a nut beverage.
Sodium gets added during production to make almond milk taste less flat, and steaming does nothing to it. About a tenth of a teaspoon of table salt is what 252 mg amounts to — trivial in one drink, less trivial in three. If you are watching sodium, the almond milk latte is not a problem on its own, but it is not the blank slate people assume either, and the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg is the number to hold it against.
The protein side deserves the same honesty. At 1.6 g in a 12 fl oz cup, this drink is not a protein source, and the Dietary Guidelines do not count fortified plant beverages as interchangeable with dairy for protein. If a latte is standing in for breakfast, plan the protein somewhere else — MyPlate's dairy page is a reasonable place to see how the swap is handled.
How does an almond milk latte compare?
The four milks below are costed at the same one-cup pour, 244 g of steamed milk, so the only thing changing is what came out of the carton.
| Milk in the cup | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Almond milk | 20 kcal | 1 cup, 244 g | 49 kcal |
| Coconut milk beverage | 31 kcal | 1 cup, 244 g | 76 kcal |
| Soy milk, unsweetened | 38 kcal | 1 cup, 244 g | 93 kcal |
| Oat milk | 45 kcal | 1 cup, 244 g | 110 kcal |
Our take: almond milk is the lightest of the four by a distance, at less than half the calories of oat milk per 100 g. Scaled up to a real order, a 12 fl oz oat milk latte is 137 calories against 61 for almond — more than double — and in a 16 ounce cup the spread grows to 192 against 85, a gap of 107 calories from the milk alone. For weight loss, almond is the pick and the decision is not close. For staying full, it is the wrong pick entirely: soy milk brings 3.55 g of protein per 100 g against 0.54 g, which is roughly 10.8 g in a 12 fl oz cup versus 1.6 g, and that is the difference between a drink that holds you to lunch and one that does not.

Almond milk latte FAQs
How many calories are in an almond milk latte?
A 12 fl oz almond milk latte holds 61 calories, working out from the USDA figure of 20 calories per 100 g for almond milk. The 61 is the steamed milk itself; the two espresso shots underneath would add only about 5 calories more.
How many calories in a 16 oz almond milk latte?
A 16 fl oz almond milk latte comes to 85 calories, from 427 g of steamed almond milk at 20 calories per 100 g. That same 16 ounce cup built on oat milk lands at 192 calories, so the size of the cup costs you far less than the choice of milk.
Is an almond milk latte lower in calories than an oat milk latte?
Yes, by a wide margin: 61 calories for a 12 fl oz almond milk latte against 137 for the same cup with oat milk. Almond milk runs 20 calories per 100 g and oat milk 45, so the oat version is more than double before any syrup goes in.
How many calories in an iced almond milk latte?
An iced 16 fl oz almond milk latte lands near 49 calories, because ice fills roughly half the cup and only about 8 fl oz (244 g) of almond milk goes in. That is fewer calories than a hot 12 ounce latte at 61, for a visibly bigger drink.
Does an almond milk latte have sugar?
A 12 fl oz cup carries 3.7 g of total sugars using the USDA row for unlabeled almond milk. Built on unsweetened almond milk it is 0 g; built on the sweetened kind it is 12.2 g. Chocolate almond milk takes the same cup to 21.3 g.
How much protein is in an almond milk latte?
About 1.6 g in a 12 fl oz cup, which is 3% of the Daily Value. Almond milk is the thinnest of the plant milks here at 0.54 g protein per 100 g. The same cup made with soy milk carries roughly 10.8 g, our own arithmetic from the USDA soy figure.
Is an almond milk latte good for weight loss?
At 61 calories for 12 fl oz it is one of the cheapest coffee drinks on the board, and switching from oat to almond saves 76 calories on the same cup. Over two drinks a day that is 152 calories, though syrup pumps and a larger size erase the gap quickly.
Does an almond milk latte have a lot of sodium?
More than most people expect: 180 mg in a 12 fl oz cup, 8% of the Daily Value, and 252 mg in a 16 ounce, which is 11%. That works out to about a tenth of a teaspoon of table salt. Almond milk is salted in production, and steaming does not change it.
