Starbucks Grande Latte: Oat Milk, No Syrup (~193 cal)
By Alec Zakhary
A grande Starbucks latte with oat milk and no syrup is 193 calories — 23g carbs, 8g fat, 4g protein, mostly from the milk itself. Oat is the creamiest non-dairy option but the highest-carb; almond milk would be about 110 cal for the same drink.

What customer reports show
Beyond the brand-claimed numbers, here's what aggregated customer reports and independent investigations turned up:
- Starbucks uses Oatly Barista Edition for all oat milk drinks — a deliberately unsweetened formulation, but still contains around 7g of naturally-occurring sugar per cup from oat starch breakdown.
- Oat milk has the highest carb count of any Starbucks milk option (~23g per grande latte) — about 3× almond (7g) and roughly equal to whole milk lactose carbs.
- Almond milk is the calorically leanest option at Starbucks: 100-110 cal for a grande latte, vs 193 for oat and 190 for whole milk. The trade-off is zero protein vs 4g (oat) and 12g (whole milk).
- "No syrup" is the default for a plain latte — you don't need to specifically order it. The default is just espresso + milk + foam. Customers conflate "no syrup" with "unsweetened" but oat milk itself still adds carbs.
My take
A grande oat-milk latte with no syrup is around 193 cal — basically all of it from the milk. Not as low-cal as almond (110 cal) but creamier. If you're cutting and want creamy, almond + 1 pump syrup is similar cal.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories in a grande Starbucks latte with oat milk and no syrup?
Around 193 calories for a 16 fl oz (grande) latte with oat milk and no flavor syrups added. Macros: 4g protein, 8g fat, 23g carbs (including 14g sugar mostly from the oat milk itself, plus the lactose-equivalent sugars from natural oat starch breakdown). Sodium ~140mg.
Is oat milk healthier than whole milk in a Starbucks latte?
Similar calories (193 vs 190 for whole milk grande), but different trade-offs. Oat milk has more carbs (23g vs 18g) and less protein (4g vs 12g). Whole milk has more saturated fat (5g vs 1g). For weight loss: similar. For protein: whole milk wins. For dairy-free: oat is the obvious pick.
What's the lowest-calorie milk option at Starbucks for a latte?
Almond milk — about 100-110 cal for a grande latte. It has the lowest carbs (~7g) and zero protein. Coconut milk is next at 110-120 cal. Oat milk (193 cal) and whole milk (190 cal) are tied for the highest calorie non-flavored options.
Does Starbucks add syrup to a default latte?
No — a default Caffè Latte is just espresso + steamed milk + foam, no syrup. Flavored lattes (Vanilla Latte, Caramel Latte, etc.) are separate menu items with syrup baked in (typically 4 pumps for grande). "No syrup" is the standard for a plain latte; you don't need to specify.
How much sugar is in a Starbucks oat milk latte without syrup?
About 14g of sugar in a grande, mostly from the oat milk itself. Oatly Barista — the brand Starbucks uses — has approximately 7g of naturally-occurring sugar per cup from the oat starch breakdown process during manufacturing. It's not added sugar, but it's still sugar your body sees.
