Here are a few interesting points about the pumpkin spice latte.

Latte Nutritional Information

Nutritional information in this guide is based on a Grande 16 ounce drink made with steamed 2% milk, unless otherwise noted.

Reference to the percentage daily value (%DV) illustrates how much a specific nutrient contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories, the measure used by the U.S. FDA for general nutrition advice for adults.

Calories

A Grande Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has 390 total calories.

Over half of the total calories are derived from carbohydrates (including sugars). Dietary fat contributes about 33% of the total calories and the remaining 14% is from proteins.

Here is a breakout of the total calories by macronutrient (fat, carbs, and protein) in a Grande:

• Fat: 130 calories
• Carbs: 205 calories
• Protein: 55 calories
• Total: 390 calories per serving

The breakout of calories above is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition information provided by Starbucks.

Total Calories by Size

Here are the total calories in the hot latte for each size available.

Total Fat

One Grande serving of the hot beverage has 14 grams of total fat, including 9 grams of saturated fat. The amount of saturated fat in one serving is high.

For context, the FDA states any nutrient that contributes a 20% or greater daily value should be considered high.

Nine grams of saturated fat exceeds that threshold with a 45% daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Saturated Fat

Dietary Guidelines for Americans (published by the US Department of Health and Human Services) recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.

A Grande latte delivers approximately 80 calories from saturated fat, 21% of the 390 total calories per serving.

Sugars

There are 50 grams of total sugars (natural sugars and added sugars) in each serving.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to 6% or less of total calories.

The amount of calories derived from sugars is high. Given that more than half of the total 390 calories per serving is from sugar, this latte may not be the healthiest way to start the day.

Try the smaller size and treat this drink as an occasional treat rather than an everyday coffee.
