Health Benefits & Considerations
While the Funnel Cake Macchiato is not a low-calorie beverage, it does offer certain benefits in moderation. The espresso provides an energy boost and mental alertness, while milk contributes protein and calcium. However, the sugar content is relatively high, making it a drink best enjoyed occasionally rather than daily.
For those on a 2,000-calorie diet, a medium serving contributes about 15% of daily calorie intake and nearly 76% of the recommended added sugar intake, according to American Heart Association guidelines. This makes portion control and frequency an important consideration.
Customization Options
- Choose skim, almond, oat, or soy milk for fewer calories.
- Request sugar-free vanilla syrup to lower sugar content.
- Skip whipped cream for a lighter option.
- Add extra espresso shots for more caffeine kick.
