Dunkin’ Donuts is well known for their delicious iced coffee drinks, yet these might not always be the healthiest choice. But you don’t have to depend on Dunkin’ Donuts alone! With some fresh ingredients and simple techniques you can craft your own dunkin coffee at home using delicious flavors and toppings that won’t come through their drive-thru window.

Make your own iced dunkin at home by mixing freshly brewed coffee with ice and your preferred milk. The ice will help to cool the drink down while providing some additional texture – you may wish to experiment with different flavors or types of milk until you find your ideal combination!

If you want to cut extra calories out of your drink, avoid topping it off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle – they add a lot of sugar and calories! Instead try swapping in cinnamon as an ingredient that adds an additional dose of flavor without increasing caloric intake.

At DD drive-thrus, it’s essential to minimize extra sugars and calories. “One effective strategy for doing so would be ordering black coffee or unsweetened tea in small sizes along with skim or reduced fat milk – all while avoiding syrups or swirls”, advises dietitian and trainer Jenna Appel MS, RD, LDN.

Dependent upon the type of drink you’re ordering, simple adjustments could save up to 90 calories in each beverage you order. For instance, a medium cappuccino with oat milk has 90 total calories but could easily be reduced with just adding skim or almond milk for flavor variation.

Just one way to cut back on calories is by ordering flavor shots without added sugars, which will eliminate many extra calories while still giving your drink its distinctive twist.

By switching from regular to nonfat vanilla iced coffee, you could potentially save up to 50 calories and use nonfat milk instead of the more expensive 2% option, you may even be able to further cut back.

Additionally to the tips mentioned here, other calorie-cutting techniques that will allow you to still enjoy Dunkin’ Donuts beverages will allow for you to feel satisfied without feeling as though any taste has been compromised. Valdez suggests that making coffee at home with either a drip machine or instant (which won’t give as good results but saves you time) will produce similar results as visiting restaurants for their version – without breaking the bank in doing it!

So when visiting your local DD, keep these tips in mind to make your drink healthy and satisfying! For an added treat, munchkin skewers offer three assorted donut holes on a stick that are great for dunking into an iced coffee or snacking on when on-the-go – just be careful not to overindulge!
