How many calories are in a 16 oz iced LVTM?

• A. 149 calories
• B. 231 calories
• C. 404 calories
• D. 352 calories

Answer: (B)

Calories in an iced drink come from the ingredients that actually have calories—milk or cream, syrups, and any toppings—while the ice adds almost nothing. For a 16 oz serving, the total reflects the amount of milk and the number of syrup pumps used. The espresso base contributes only a small amount, so the bulk comes from dairy and flavoring. When you have a typical mix for a 16 oz iced drink, the calories tend to land in the low-to-mid 200s. That makes 231 calories a plausible value for this size and recipe. The other numbers would require noticeably less sweetener or lighter milk to drop that low, or extra toppings or richer ingredients to push it higher.
