How does a latte lite differ from a traditional latte?

A latte lite is specifically designed to be a lighter, lower-calorie version of a traditional latte. The main difference lies in the type of milk used: a latte lite typically employs skim milk instead of whole milk. This substitution significantly reduces the overall calorie and fat content of the beverage while still maintaining the essential flavors and creamy texture that lattes are known for.

In contrast, a traditional latte is made with whole milk, which contributes to its richer flavor and creamier mouthfeel but also adds more calories and fat. Understanding this fundamental distinction helps in making informed choices for customers seeking healthier beverage options at Dunkin’ Donuts.
