Cafe drinks vary with shot size and the amount and type of milk. The USDA entry is a generic average, not a brand.
Is a macchiato healthy?
We found no official statement (NHS, NIH or FDA) that rates a macchiato as healthy or unhealthy. The numbers above show it is a low-calorie drink when made with espresso and a little milk. Added syrup, caramel or sugar raise calories quickly, and the USDA entry for a sweetened macchiato is a separate item.
Does it have health benefits?
We found no official source that lists health benefits for a macchiato, so we do not claim any. It does contain caffeine. If you are pregnant, take medicines or have a heart condition, ask a doctor or pharmacist how much caffeine is right for you.
