What is Keto?
“Keto” is the shortening of the word “ketogenic.” A keto diet is low in carbs and sugar and high in fats and protein.
Keto dieters usually eat things like steak, fish, nuts, and dairy items high in fat and low in sugar, like heavy cream.
This diet is not for everyone, so please talk your doctor if you’re thinking about a keto diet.

Tips on Ordering Keto-Friendly Drinks
Keep it simple
Many of the drinks on the Dunkin’ menu have sweeteners that might not seem obvious. Plain drinks that aren’t automatically sweetened, like coffee or an Americano, are usually a safe bet.
Try a sugar-free flavor shot
Dunkin’ offers a few sugar-free flavor shots that give their coffees an extra layer of flavor. Don’t confuse these with flavor swirls, which are sweetened. When ordering make sure to say “flavor shot” and the flavor you want. Dunkin’ offers vanilla, hazelnut, toasted almond, blueberry, raspberry, and coconut flavor shots. Each shot has about 10 calories and 1 gram of carbs.
Not every Dunkin’ has the same ingredients
Unlike Starbucks, which owns every single one of its locations, Dunkin’ is a franchise. That means some locations might not have every menu offering. It’s a good idea to have a backup order.
Go for coconut milk or cream
While Dunkin’ has a variety of milk options, most of them are high in sugar. “Skinny” versions of drinks don’t mean keto because skim milk tends to be high in carbs. Dunkin’ uses Silk Unsweetened Coconut Milk, which has 40 calories and 0 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving. The cream at Dunkin’ is a mix of milk and cream.
Ask the barista what’s in a drink
Many Dunkin’ drinks have sugar that isn’t obvious, so always ask what’s in a drink.
Avoid frozen drinks
Dunkin’ has a variety of frozen drinks, including frozen coffees which have over 100 grams of added sugar. Also avoid Coolatas and Frozen Chocolates.
Avoid Refreshers
Dunkin’ has a variety of drinks which all contain sugar, including Refreshers, Dunkaccinos (coffee drinks with chocolate), chai lattes, and matcha lattes.
Pass on the whipped cream
Unfortunately, whipped cream is high in both sugar and carbs.
Know exactly how to order a keto drink
Dunkin’ baristas aren’t trained on how to make keto drinks, so order drinks by explaining exactly how they should be prepared. “Can I have a latte with heavy cream and a flavor shot of hazelnut?” instead of “Can I have a keto-friendly hazelnut latte?”

Questions You May Have
Flavor shots are unsweetened, sugar-free, and dairy-free. Flavor swirls are sweet and usually contains dairy. Both flavor shots and flavor swirls flavor drinks.
No, Dunkin’s flavor shots only add flavor, so a blueberry flavor shot will add blueberry flavor, but it won’t add any sweetness.
Dunkin’ offers Splenda, which is their only sugar-free sweetener.
No. Dunkin’ is a franchise and it’s common to see different items on the menu from location to location. Most stores will have the same base items (like coffee and iced teas), but not every location will have every flavor shot, for example.
Anything unsweetened and simple, like brewed coffee, iced coffee, and tea all have zero carbs.
