I did for about 5 years as a shift supervisor when I was doing my grad work (so this was about 10 years ago, not sure if my knowledge is still relevant). Ask away
Ok. Today I ordered a Venti Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte. They forgot to put in the Sugar Free Syrup. Tasted gross, but whatever...I cannot for the life of me find a non-flavoured syrup iced latte online to get a calorie count - does it not exist???
I guess my real question is: are iced lattes just regular lattes on ice?

Yep, 3 shots of espresso in an Iced Venti and then nonfat milk. That's all

Yep. But also, if you usually get sugar-free syrup, you're not really saving any calories by them leaving out the syrup.
True. I had considered that but then was looking at the sugar count either way and was confused. Apparently I have never considered how much sugar there is in just plain milk.

Especially in non-fat milk, since the removal of the fat means more of the volume is lactose.

Most lower- and non-fat foods have more sugar than their regular-fat counterparts. Removing the fat alters the flavor. They use sugar to make it taste good again.

There is no added sugar in fat-free milk, though. It's just the removal of the delicious cream.
I knew it had it, but never realized it had that much until recently when I read the Choose to Lose carb cycling book and why they leave it out of their equation entirely. I know it's lactose and have worked with milk in baking a ton, but never thought of it much until I read that book!
I will never understand paying for a plain iced latte at starbucks. The milk is right there for free! Get 3 shots of espresso over ice in a venti cup, add your free milk and save yourself $
I feel like I *knew* this, in that I was fully aware that when foods are made non-fat, the fat decreases but carbs always increase. But for some reason I had never considered it for milk. I thought skim milk just had water in it or something. I am an idiot, lol!

Save your sugar too and add half and half to your iced coffee w sf syrup!

the carbs don't really increase. Skim milk is just regular without the fat. So 1 cup of whole milk has about 150 calories, 7g fat, 13g carb and 8g protein. Skim milk would just have 13g carbs and 8g protein, no fat. So the calories would be reduced by 60 or so but the protein and fat remain the same, as does the calcium

Now this is a good solution. Iced coffee or cold brew topped with milk is, IMO, not extremely different in taste compared to an iced latte, but if you're watching calories or carbs, is a better option due to how much less milk/cream you use.

I don't mean to be all Goody Two-Shoes about this, but I'm pretty sure that milk is intended to be used a few teaspoons at a time - not to fill your 20oz cup.

So, I always knew that skim milk had a lot of sugar in it, but I just realized that half and half and cream doesn't. Can someone break this down for me? I'm quite confused.

False.
Yeah, I just checked, the overall caloric value is reduced because a gram of fat equates to 9 calories and a gram of carbs equals 4, but the grams of carbs in the non-fat version, specifically sugars, in higher than the 2% one.

False.
This is true, whole milk has 12-13g of carbs and so does nonfat milk.
