How to Order Keto Drinks at Starbucks

1. Research in Advance

It’s always helpful to research what your favorite drink contains to plan which ingredients to substitute. Following guides like this allows you to have a better look at your options, making it easier to choose. 

2. Skip Whipped Cream

While whipped cream may be a tempting addition, it often comes with added sugars. Opt to skip the whipped cream to keep your drink keto-friendly and avoid unnecessary carbs.

However, if you can’t resist the whipped cream, remember that a serving for a tall order has 2 grams of carbs, and venti has 3 grams. 

3. Consider Bringing Your Own Keto Sweetener

Starbucks offers sugar-free syrups, but if you prefer a specific keto sweetener, consider bringing it along. This way, you can control the sweetness without compromising your carb limit.

4. Get Heavy Cream or Almond Milk

When choosing a milk alternative, opt for heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk. These options are lower in carbs than regular milk but still provide a creamy texture to your beverage.

5. Mind Your Order Size

Larger sizes may add more ingredients, potentially increasing the carb content. Stick to smaller sizes, especially if you’re customizing your order extensively.

What to Avoid When Ordering Low-Carb at Starbucks

1. Steamed Milk

A short steamed milk has 10 grams of carbs. Opt for unsweetened alternatives like almond milk and specify that no additional sweeteners be added to your drink.

2. Sugar and Syrups

Avoid any added sugars, syrups, or sweeteners that aren’t labeled as sugar-free. You can opt for their Splenda or Stevia Blend from Whole Earth instead. 

3. Skinny Drinks

Despite the term “skinny,” Starbucks’ “skinny” versions of drinks often use sugar-free syrups paired with non-fat milk. However, the non-fat milk may contain more carbs than alternatives like heavy cream or almond milk.

4. High-Carb Baked Goods and Pastries

Starbucks is renowned for its delicious pastries and baked goods, but most are high in carbs. According to this guide, order the ones with the fewest carbs.
