I have a serious latte obsession and this has been going on for years. My latte love is so intense that I’ve recently upgraded from a medium to a large. And do you know how much a large latte costs? $5+. That is insane! Five dollars for a single drink. Some days it’s oh so worth the comfort, but please don’t make me do the math or I will freak out.
I created a solution for my latte craze and now I them at home! I like to keep my lattes skinny, so I use extract vs. syrup and Stevia vs. sugar. Do what fits your taste and diet. I’ve tried a variety of different flavored extracts and caramel is my fave.
This skinny latte recipe is super easy to make and requires no fancy machines. You are going to love it!

RECIPE NOTES: SKINNY LATTE RECIPE
- For an extra frothy latte, use a frother on the milk mixture before adding it to the coffee.
- For an even skinnier drink, use almond milk instead of skim milk.
- Adding a splash of coffee creamer (in place of the sugar or sugar substitute) to the milk mixture is such a great flavor booster.
