A Grande (16 fl oz) Starbucks Blonde Vanilla Latte made with 2% milk has 250 calories, 6 g fat, 35 g sugar, 12 g protein and 170 mg of caffeine. A Short has 130 calories and a Venti has 320. Starbucks' menu vanilla latte uses Blonde Espresso and 4 pumps of vanilla syrup in a Grande.

What's in a Vanilla Latte

Starbucks lists its vanilla latte as the "Starbucks® Blonde Vanilla Latte". It is Blonde Espresso with steamed 2% milk and vanilla syrup, using 2, 3, 4 and 5 pumps for Short, Tall, Grande and Venti. If you order a Caffè Latte and add vanilla, you get signature espresso instead, and the numbers will differ.

Milk and customization swaps

Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.

Swap Effect on calories Notes
Sugar-free vanilla syrup Cuts calories and sugar Keeps the vanilla flavor
Nonfat milk Fewer calories and less fat Protein stays about the same as 2%
Whole milk More calories and fat Creamier; the default in a Flat White
Almondmilk Usually the lowest-calorie milk Much less protein than dairy
Oatmilk Usually more calories and carbs than almondmilk Less protein than dairy; very creamy
Soymilk Between almondmilk and 2% The plant milk closest to dairy for protein
Coconutmilk Usually fewer calories than 2% Low protein; the base of the Pink Drink

Milk effects show direction only. Starbucks doesn't publish per-milk nutrition for this drink, so the calculator estimates swaps.

Syrup pumps and calories

Vanilla syrup: 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 pumps (Short / Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.

Lower-calorie ways to order

  • Ask for sugar-free vanilla.
  • Ask for 2 pumps instead of 4 in a Grande.
  • Switch to nonfat milk or almondmilk.
  • A Tall has 200 calories against 250 for a Grande.
