The difference

147 kcal

A latte is an espresso with a lot of steamed milk on top. The coffee itself is only about 3 kcal.

A large latte is about 220 kcal, one with oat milk about 140. Syrups and cream go on top of that.

Two lattes a day is about 300 kcal. If that matters to you, a smaller cup changes more than swapping the milk.
