The 20 Best Starbucks Keto Drinks to Order

You’ve worked so hard to keep the rest of your diet strictly keto – why should your daily coffee intake be any different? 

Before you despair that your Starbucks habit has to be scrapped along with the rest of your favorite fuels, know that there are ways to order certain Starbucks beverages that will also make them keto-friendly.

Below are some of the best examples of Starbucks beverages allowed during the keto period, along with exact instructions for ordering them.

Boisson Keto White

There’s no real original drink to draw inspiration from to create this much-discussed keto drink, nor can you ask your barista for a “keto white drink,” so…

How to order: “Peach-citrus unsweetened white tea with a splash of heavy cream, two to four pumps of sugar-free, water-free vanilla syrup, and light ice. »

Skinny Mocha

According to Mr. Skinnypants, a regular Starbucks mocha has about 20 grams of carbs, which makes sense since it’s made up of milk, whipped cream and mocha sauce. You can, however, make a few changes to make it “skinny”.

How to order: Ask for the “light mocha sauce without sugar”. Replacing the milk with heavy cream and water also helps.

Low Carb Caramel Macchiato

This lifelong favorite isn’t really low in calories in normal times, and it’s also not keto-friendly if you change a few ingredients: it’s mostly milk, espresso, vanilla syrup and caramel sauce. A barista recently suggested on Reddit to forgo the hot version of the drink (and the extra milk carbs) and go straight for a tall or tall iced drink.

How to order: “Skinny caramel macchiato with almond milk and no caramel drizzle.” ” 

Low Carb London Fog

For those unfamiliar with London Fog, it’s usually a (delicious and high-carb) blend of Earl Gray tea, hot milk, and vanilla syrup. Replace these last two items with whipped cream and sugar-free syrup and you’re done.

How to order: Don’t even mention the London fog! Ask for Earl Gray tea, a dose of heavy cream, and, of course, a dose of sugar-free vanilla syrup.

Freshly brewed coffee

You might think that most freshly brewed coffees are keto-friendly, but that’s not the case. Fortunately, the Starbucks one is.

How to order: “Pike Place Roast.” Other carb-free brews are Blonde, Brown, and more.

Chai Latte Iced Tea

The same barista suggested that the chai latte is one of the few drinks at Starbucks that isn’t compromised by a few keto swaps. Hip2Keto notes that you cannot order this version online – best to do so in person to ensure it reaches you correctly.

How to order: You have several options here. One of them is to ask for a “chai tea with a touch of heavy cream and X pumps of vanilla without sugar”, or a “slightly sweetened iced chai latte, without liquid cane, breve”. [Ed. note: “breve” just means half-and-half instead of milk]

Low Carb Flat White

This one is easy to prepare. Instead of the usual steamed whole milk, use the same mixture of heavy cream and water.

How to order: “Flat white, no steamed milk, half heavy whipped cream, half steamed water. »

Low carb pink drink

Again, this ultra-popular, Instagrammable drink isn’t the hardest thing to make keto-friendly. The end result will obviously be less sweet, but it won’t be less rosy, which is the most important thing, right?

How to order: “Tango passion tea, sugar-free syrup and heavy (or light) cream. . »

Pineapple Iced Tea

Just like regular coffee, Starbucks iced tea is generally safe! You will of course have to order any “unsweetened” version, but if you want a little flavoring, the choice is yours.

How to order: “Iced green, black or white tea, with a pineapple fusion, unsweetened. »

Low Carb Americano

The Americano is thankfully already very low in carbs, making it another easy keto fix.

How to order: “Americano with heavy cream.” »

Mixed coffee

Essentially a latte, caffe misto lends itself well to dieting. Replace the milk with heavy cream and you’re done.

How to order: “Caffe misto, 50/50 heavy cream and hot water. »

Iced coffee

A classic. Who doesn’t love a white coffee canvas?

How to order: “Iced coffee with heavy whipped cream. »

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

This drink adds a bit of flavorful spice without adding unnecessary carbs.

How to order: “An Americano with only ¾ water instead of full, a big shot of steamed heavy cream and two pumps of sugar-free cinnamon dolce syrup. »

Low Carb Frappuccino

Keto Connect suggests moving away from the sugary Frappuccino basics on the menu and customizing your own drink to get the same kind of flavor without the added sugar.

How to order: “Classic no-syrup iced coffee with extra ice, three parts sugar-free syrup, three parts heavy cream, blended Frappuccino style. »

Nitro Cold Brew

Nitro Cold Brew is already keto without any additions, but even with a splash of heavy cream and two pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup, you can stay low carb.

Double Shot On Ice

This name basically refers to two cups of espresso with milk and sugar over ice, but you’ll want to make a few substitutions to hit the ketone peak.

How to order: Ask for no classic syrup, use your favorite keto sweetener instead, and use almond milk instead of two percent.

Shaken Iced Espresso

Bold and creamy, with a few simple requests, a shaken espresso won’t disrupt your ketosis.

How to order: Take a large iced shaken espresso, replace 2% milk with almond milk or heavy cream, replace classic syrup with sugar-free vanilla syrup or sugar-free dolce cinnamon syrup.

Blonde Vanilla Iced Latte

A favorite for its taste, you can adjust a vanilla blonde latte to match your diet.

How to order: Replace cow’s milk with almond milk or heavy cream and add three pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup.

Latte Coffee

Take the classic command with minor tweaks and you’re good to go.

How to order: Ask for it to be infused with 3/4 water and 1/4 heavy cream and sweeten it with a few of your favorite ketone-friendly sweeteners.

Iced black tea

Simple, yet effective and requiring no substitutes – just make sure it’s unsweetened.
