How Dunkin Donuts Keto Drinks Compares With Starbucks Menu 

There is a range of keto-friendly drinks available at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, but which are the best on the market?

This answer can be answered by personal preference. Technically speaking, Starbucks hot coffee has been proven to be more caffeinated, but Dunkin Donuts' 10-hour cold brew is delicious and effective.  

In our opinion, when ordering from Dunkin Donuts, be sure to stay away from sweetened or frozen drinks and stick to sugar free drinks wherever possible. For example, a large Caramel Swirl Frozen Coffee with Skim Milk packs an astonishing 193 grams of sugar and 204 grams of carbs (not very keto-friendly).

This is partly because of the sugary flavor shots or flavor swirls, and partly because they have whole or skim milk instead of oat or almond milk.

To keep it keto at Dunkin you should Instead, opt for unsweetened Americanos, or perhaps choose an iced tea for a change. These are great keto drinks at Dunkin for keeping your sugar and net carbs levels down.
