You picked a dessert drink.

An actual Latte has less than half the number of carbs as that https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/407/hot?parent=%2Fdri...

You can also get it with almond milk reduce it by another 1/3

Lattes aren't defined by that specific recipe served at Starbucks.

Surely they are. They are one possible example.

Salads aren’t bad because McDonald’s gives you one with a dressing with 900 calories in it.

And that example has a cinnamon sugar syrup added to it.

That drink is a latte, but a latte isn't that drink. A latte is made with two ingredients: espresso and milk. Anything else is a variation.

I prefer unsweetened lattes. For some reason sweet just clashes with the mouthfeel and flavor to me.
