Dunkin Donuts can make it challenging to maintain a healthy diet, offering many tempting items with too much sugar and calories compared to what is recommended, making it hard to reach daily consumption of 2,000. Though there are healthier choices at Dunkin Donuts (such as their iced coffee), care must be taken when selecting ingredients and add-ons so as to not overindulge. Here are some tips that will help make better choices at this popular chain.

Dunkin Donuts makes it easy to maintain a healthful diet by offering drinks with few or no added calories, like their iced coffee or tea without added sugar. A medium iced coffee only contains 15 calories when made with skim milk – cutting even further down on caloric intake! For added flavor shots without all of the added syrup calories. Flavored shots typically only have around 5 calories while syrup has many more!

Addition of dairy or nondairy creamer can significantly increase its calorie and sodium contents, contributing to water weight gain and high blood pressure. Although you can find lower-sodium versions at grocery stores, it may be more sensible to forgo this addition at Dunkin Donuts to avoid unnecessary sodium consumption.

One option worth exploring is cold brewed coffee, which contains far fewer calories and bitterness than its hot counterparts. By adding in a stevia-based sweetener such as Truvia to your cold brew you may even further decrease its caloric intake; and to soften its acidity add some milk as needed to soften it further.

Those on a gluten-free diet should be aware that many of the donuts available at this chain contain wheat; fortunately, however, they also offer gluten-free doughnuts baked fresh every morning!

Dunkin Donuts’ food menu may primarily feature meat products, but there are options for those following a vegetarian diet at Dunkin Donuts as well. Grilled cheese sandwiches and egg breakfast sandwiches both qualify as vegetarian meals as do their donuts.

Whenever ordering lunch from this chain, be mindful that certain menu items such as their Angus Steak and Egg Wake Up Wrap or Egg White Veggie Flatbread contain more sodium than most. You can reduce their sodium levels by ordering them without bun or with English muffin instead of croissant.

Dunkin Donuts offers vegan-friendly snacks like granola bars and donut holes, along with coffee beverages made without dairy – though you will need to ask specifically as it is not advertised.
