'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ask intently after training' is the wordplay.
'after training' is an anagram indicator (train can mean to shape or control).
'ask'+'intently'='askintently'
'askintently' anagrammed gives 'SKINNY LATTE'.

'for a low-fat' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
