Similar to ordering keto fast food, though, getting low carb drinks at Starbucks falls on a spectrum — some low carb options at Starbucks will be “cleaner” than others. (See the difference between clean and dirty keto here.) That’s okay, though! If you’re on the go and need some kind of keto option, you’ll be able to find one on the Starbucks menu. Plus, I’ve included ways to make your own keto Starbucks drinks at home, at the bottom of this post.
35 Keto Starbucks Drinks To Order
When you need a pick-me-up but want to stick to keto, use this list of 35 keto Starbucks drinks to order (net carbs listed for “grande” which is medium sized)! Step 1: Choose Your Base
Coffee – Choose hot coffee, cold brew, espresso, or iced coffee Tea – Plain brewed, with no sweeteners added
Step 2: Choose Your Add-Ins
Heavy cream – Also known as heavy whipping cream. Add it plain or steamed/frothed. Half and half also works if it fits your macros. Cinnamon Or Cocoa Powder – A sugar-free way to add flavor. Sugar-free syrups & sweeteners – Sugar-free vanilla syrup, sugar-free cinnamon dolce syrup, and sometimes others depending on the store. You can also find packets of sugar substitutes to mix in on your own. The ones they have contain sucralose or other fillers, so they are low carb but not clean ingredients. I usually keep a bag of Besti sweetener or natural keto coffee syrup (both taste great and dissolve effortlessly!) in my car to add my own instead.
Hot Coffee Drinks
Prefer hot drinks? These keto friendly Starbucks drinks are perfect for those following a keto diet and brew up piping hot.
Iced Coffee Drinks
Whether you’re enjoying low carb at Starbucks or your favorite classic, these keto-friendly drinks keep you cool and refreshed.
Tea & Other Drinks
If you prefer tea over coffee — or just want to take a break from a classic cup of joe — these are the best keto friendly Starbucks drinks for tea drinkers.
Starbucks Keto Food Options
It’s not just for drinks… Starbucks is a great place to get keto food on the go. Here are some of the best low carb Starbucks food options. Starbucks can be a keto-friendly place to get your caffeine fix, but it’s important to know which drinks and foods to avoid. Here are some tips for sticking to your keto diet at Starbucks!
Swap ingredients. You probably know that you should avoid sugar, sweet syrups, and regular milk. (See the full list below for what to avoid on keto at Starbucks.) But, you can swap milk, sugar and syrups with keto-friendly add-ins. Check the online menu. If you’re concerned about ingredients or nutrition information, Starbucks provides comprehensive lists online. Order in the app. If you have a complicated order (or you’re just worried you’ll ask for the wrong thing), I highly recommend you use the Starbucks app! It’s one of the easiest ways to make sure your keto Starbucks order is correct.
Drinks & Foods To Avoid
If you’re trying to stick to a ketogenic diet, here are some Starbucks drinks and foods you’ll want to avoid:
Milk: Including all dairy milk (whole, nonfat, 2%), coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk. (Coconut milk and almond milk are usually great keto options, but the ones at Starbucks have added sugar.) Also avoid any kind of latte, unless you request substituting heavy cream for the milk. Whipped cream: This contains a lot of added sugar. If you decide to make keto Starbucks drinks at home, you can add sugar-free whipped cream. Common sweet drinks: Such as Frappuccinos, mochas, chai lattes, steamers, cloud drinks, or violet drinks. Added sweeteners (except sugar-free syrups): Avoid regular syrups, caramel, white chocolate, or honey. Fancy toppings: Such as chocolate shavings, cookie crumbles, or specialty “foams”. Lemonades, juices, or smoothies: All of these contain a lot of sugar. Most foods, with the exception of keto Starbucks foods above: Avoid sandwiches, wraps, bakery items, snack bars, chips, popcorn, candy, yogurt, etc. In general, avoid bread. Skinny drinks: Although the name may trip you up, skinny drinks are not keto-friendly. Skinny just means that it is made with fat free milk and sugar free syrup. But, they are quite high in carbs.
This looks like a long list, but rest assured — there are so many keto friendly Starbucks drinks you can have (see the list above!), that you won’t miss out on anything. If that’s not enough, see the recipes below to make your own.
