Dunkin’ isn’t known as being one of the more nutritious chains out there, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some healthier choices here; all it takes is knowing where to look!

Start with drinks! Iced coffees and teas contain only a few calories each, which you can further lower by asking for no sugar or adding zero-calorie sweetener. Coffee-based beverages tend to contain less calories than espresso-based ones; however, even simple iced coffee will likely contain more than its espresso-based counterpart due to its higher milk-to-coffee ratio.

Opting for a smaller drink size can help further decrease its caloric content and help you track daily calorie counts more easily. Furthermore, skipping out on toppings like whipped cream, caramel or mocha drizzle (each tablespoon can add 20-28 extra calories) is another effective way to cut back on sugar intake and save calories in your iced drink.

To go the extra mile in reducing calories in your drink, make sure you switch from regular flavor swirls to sugar-free versions. They often offer various flavors but still come with lower calorie counts than their traditional counterparts. Also ask for smaller servings and reduced ingredients so as to get the lowest calorie count possible.

Keep in mind, while these tips will significantly decrease the calories in your iced drink, they won’t solve all your nutritional needs at once. Your order may need to be modified slightly based on personal taste and nutritional goals; but we hope these tricks and hints help make informed choices when stopping in for breakfast at Dunkin’.
