Cappuccino is a milk‑based espresso beverage popular in Italian and international cafés, known for its balance of espresso and steamed milk foam and a creamy texture. It is relatively low in energy at 27kcal per 100 g, reflecting the drink's high water content and modest milk proportion.
Nutritionally it provides some high-quality milk protein and small amounts of fat and saturated fat from the milk; it also supplies B‑vitamins like riboflavin and vitamin B12 and trace minerals such as manganese thanks to the dairy component. Fiber is negligible in a traditional recipe.
From a health perspective, cappuccino delivers useful micronutrients and a good amino acid profile because of milk, but it isn’t a source of significant antioxidants or fiber unless brewed or prepared with additional ingredients; choosing lower‑fat or unsweetened plant milks can reduce calories and saturated fat while keeping the beverage's character.
