Portion
To burn it off
A flat white is a double shot of espresso with silky steamed milk and not much foam. The coffee is about 6 kcal, so the milk is what you're counting.
It comes to 120 kcal, with 7 g of protein, 10 g of carbs and 6 g of fat. A regular latte is 150, because it's a bigger cup with more milk.
It's the stronger, smaller choice for people who actually want to taste the coffee. Handy, because it's also the lighter one.
Tips
- 1Ask for semi skimmed or skimmed milk if they use whole milk by default.
- 2Have it instead of a large latte, you get more coffee for fewer calories.
- 3Skip the biscuit on the saucer if you've already had one.
Where it comes from
Australia and New Zealand both claim the flat white. A Sydney café review mentioned it in 1983, and Alan Preston put it on the permanent menu of Moors Espresso Bar in Sydney in 1985. Wellington says it was born at Bar Bodega in 1989 from a cappuccino that would not foam. The argument has never been settled.
