I love me some Dunkin; y’all know that!
But what I don’t love is all the sugar, cream and calories from my drink. That’s why I wanted to share some of my favorite things to order there if you’re looking for their healthier options. Believe it or not, they have plenty, and it’s pretty easy to make any of their drinks even better for you!
Of course your best bet will always be black coffee. But don’t worry, that’s not your only option! The key to making any of their drinks healthier is to stay away from the flavor swirl add-ons, whip cream and sugar. But, did you know their flavor shots are all unsweetened and sugar free?! Pretty cool, right? They’re also free from artificial sweeteners and artificial dyes. They have vanilla, hazelnut, toasted almond, blueberry, raspberry and coconut.
Another tip is to bring your own sweetener with you if you want it, like stevia. Also, order a smaller size. The smaller the drink, the less empty calories you’re adding! So if a medium black coffee isn’t your thing, I’ve got some of my favorite drinks below.
5 Dunkin Donuts Healthy Options for the Paleo Diet
1.) Iced coffee.
Have them add almond milk or even coconut milk. If you still need it to be sweeter, use your stevia you brought with you. = )
2.) Cold brew.
It’s sugar free! It’s already naturally sweeter than regular coffee, but I think it tastes great black. If you need to add something to it, add some flavor shots like hazelnut, toasted pecan or even vanilla.
3.) Latte with hazelnut flavor and almond milk.
I tried it with coconut milk last time too and really liked it! But I don’t necessarily need much sweetness. If you do, add stevia!
4.) Unsweetened green tea with an added flavor.
Added blueberry or raspberry are my favorites!
5.) Breakfast wrap or rollup, and ditch the tortilla!
I usually order it without the wrap, and they give me egg and bacon or ham minus the flour tortilla. It’s plenty filling and pretty good too! Now if only they offered their snackin’ bacon without added sugar. Fingers crossed one day it will be an option to get it without the sugar. If not, just order the wrap with egg and bacon and add your own black pepper to the bacon. = )
