keto at starbucks

When starting your ketogenic journey, you probably thought you had to give up starbucks, right? well, that might not be the case.

I’m here to tell you that it’s absolutely possible to stick to your ketogenic diet and order keto drinks from starbucks.

In fact, there are so many options on the menu that you can go low carb and have an amazing experience with starbucks keto drinks.

All you have to do is make a few simple substitutions and I’ll tell you exactly what to do for each of these starbucks keto drinks.

starbucks keto pro tips

my favorite thing about ordering at starbucks is that the drinks can be infinitely customized. And it’s also the reason you can make so many starbucks keto drinks there low carb and keto

That said, knowing what to order and what not to order can help you make your starbucks keto drinks as low carb as possible.

So, here are five pro tips for ordering keto at starbucks.

1. omit the whipped cream

yes, the whipped cream at starbucks is full of fat, but it’s also full of sugar and carbs. so you’ll definitely want to avoid it.

2. remember that skinny drinks are not keto drinks

many people make the mistake of thinking that skinny drinks are low carb keto drinks. however, the only thing “skinny” means at starbucks is that the drinks are made with skim milk and sugar-free syrup.

Not to mention that most starbucks skinny drinks have 20 grams of carbs, or more, each!

so you’ll want to avoid ordering these drinks there.

3. use heavy cream or almond milk

These are the lowest carb milk options available at Starbucks.

Both of these options have about 5 grams of carbs per cup. but that’s much lower than all the other options on the starbucks menu.

4. sugar-free does not mean carbohydrate-free

Many people think that sugar-free syrups do not contain carbohydrates. unfortunately, they are not.

the sf syrups at starbucks are actually made with a very small amount of maltodextrin, which is another word for sugar.

That said, each pump of Starbucks Sugar Free Syrup has about 1 gram of carbs. so you’ll want to be very specific about how much syrup you want in your drink.

By the way, don’t worry about adding a little sugar-free syrup to your drinks. It won’t be enough to kick you out of ketosis, especially if you use the amounts I suggest in the drinks below!

5. skip the sweetener packets that starbucks has

Starbucks offers several different sweetener packets in its stores.

However, neither of these are especially good for the ketogenic diet.

The stevia in the raw packets is mostly dextrose with a dash of stevia, and the splenda packets are mostly dextrose with a dash of sucralose. what this means is that these packets basically contain 1 gram of carbohydrates and sugar.

That said, if you use just a pack, or two, you’ll probably be fine with keeping most of your starbucks keto orders.

But, if you’re the type of person who likes to add 4, 5, or even 6 packets of sweetener to your Starbucks drinks, I highly recommend using your own keto sweetener.

6. bring your own sweetener

In fact, I just keep a bunch of these whole earth packs in my car, so I can add them to my starbucks keto drink orders whenever I need to, since they have no net carbs!

And, yes, I know the back of the package says 1 carb, but that’s solely because of how the FDA makes companies list the nutritional information for sugar alcohols on packages.

Sure, it’s confusing. But know that there are no real carbs in a packet of Whole Earth’s Erythritol, Monk Fruit, and Stevia Blend.

However, the same cannot be said for sweet’n low, splenda or raw stevia: they all contain some form of sugar. usually in the form of maltodextrin, dextrose, or both.

cold coffee drinks for keto at starbucks

Now that we’ve got that figured out, let’s see what you can order keto at starbucks.

and since it’s summer, we’ll start with the cold coffee drinks!

1. keto frappuccino

here’s how to order an impromptu keto frappucino at starbucks: order one:

Large Iced Coffee
with 2 drops of heavy cream
& 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup
make sure you don’t ask for classic syrup
go light on the ice
and get a double mix

what you get is a low carb frappuccino with the perfect balance of creaminess, sweetness, and coffee flavor (is that a word? because it should be).

In general, this works out to 5 net carbs for $3.20.

2. keto espresso frappuccino

if you want a little more caffeine, this keto espresso frappuccino is what you need! it’s so icy yet smooth and just delicious. honestly, it’s one of my favorite starbucks drinks right now!

In fact, in the summer months, when I don’t start the day with this keto shake recipe, I usually start with this keto frappuccino.

Anyway, here’s how to order this classic starbucks keto drink:

great espresso frappuccino
with almond milk
3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup instead of the frappuccino syrup
and get a double mix

Now, you can’t remove all the frappuccino syrup from the app. so if you want this low-carb drink, you’ll have to order it at the store.

oh, and this will set you back 4 net carbs for $3.20.

3. nitro cold brew

Cold brew coffee is naturally a pretty healthy option because you get much less acidity and a better coffee flavor.

now, on its own, the nitro cold brew at starbucks has 0 carbs. but I like to animate it!

this is how i order my keto nitro cold brew at starbucks:

big nitro cold brew
drip of heavy cream
2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup

yes, you’ll add some carbs by ordering cold brew this way, but it’s worth it!

The drink ends up having lots of rich coffee flavor, the perfect amount of sweetness, and a little hint of creaminess…mmm, it’s so good.

made this way, it comes out to 3 net carbsand costs $4.45.

by the way, whenever i start the day with a starbucks nitro cold, i almost always pair it with a protein bar. and in fact I just put together a list of the best protein bars for weight loss. so if that sounds like a delicious breakfast to you, check out the list.

4. keto vanilla sweet cream ice cream

This keto cold brew with sweet vanilla cream is a treat if you like your beers cold! it’s packed with vanilla and a rich coffee flavor for the perfect balance.

Here’s how to make it work for the ketogenic diet:

large vanilla cold cream
drip of heavy cream
2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup

order it this way, and it’s only 1 net carb for $3.95!

By the way, it goes great with this low carb, low calorie homemade cereal. so if you’re trying to up your keto breakfast to 11, give it a try.

5. keto double shot on ice

an iced double shot is basically two shots of espresso mixed with milk and sugar and then poured over ice.

then, to make it keto, order it like this:

great double shot on ice
make sure to ask for the non-classic syrup (it’s made with cane sugar)
use 2-4 whole earth packets to sweeten it
substitute 2 percent milk for almond milk

Ordered this way, your iced double should have only 1.5 net carbs and cost $3.75.

6. iced keto coffee

an iced coffee at starbucks is perfect for warm weather. And if your goal is 0 carbs, you can get the big iced coffee plain, just be sure to ask for no classic syrup.

but i like to add a little more deliciousness to my iced coffee order at starbucks.

so, this is how I order my keto coffee:

Large Iced Coffee
splash of almond milk
2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
& again, make sure you don’t ask for classic syrup

Ordering it this way adds a ton of deliciousness for a total of only 2 net carbs, and it’s $3.65!

worth it if you ask me.

By the way, if you want to make a high-protein, low-carb version of this drink at home, I just posted a protein coffee recipe on the blog that will blow your mind!

7. iced whipped keto espresso

creamy, icy and bold, order this frozen whipped espresso and that’s what you’ll have yourself.

To make it keto, you’ll want to order it like this:

Large frozen whipped espresso
substitute almond milk or heavy cream for 2% milk
substitute 2 pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup for classic syrup
& use a packet of whole ground if you need more sweetness

If you order it this way, the drink will have only 4 net carbs and cost $3.95.

And remember, you can always make this drink even lower carb by skipping the sugar-free syrup altogether. if you order your espresso shaken this way, it will only have 2 carbs.

8. whipped espresso with iced toasted oat milk

Whipped espresso with iced roasted oat milk is a newer beverage offered by starbucks. And it has become very popular, very fast! comes with blond espresso, oat milk, and roasted vanilla syrup for a deliciously creamy, vanilla drink.

The form it comes in is not keto so you will have to make a little adjustment to make it low carb. here’s how to order it:

4 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
half oat milk & half almond milk

now, you can order it with just oat milk, and it will have about 5 net carbs. but if you make half oats, half almond, it will only have 3 net carbs. this drink is slightly more expensive at $5.45.

9. flat white keto ice cream

if you prefer a creamy drink with a true espresso flavor, this keto flat white ice cream has you covered.

And I like to order this when I feel like something more like an iced latte, but need a little more caffeine.

you can make icy white keto friendly if you order it like this:

large white ice cream
with almond milk or heavy cream instead of whole milk

Just a simple substitution and you have another drink option with 4 net carbs.

And as for the price of this one, it’s $4.75.

10. keto iced blonde vanilla latte

This keto iced blonde vanilla latte is one of starbucks tastiest flavored drinks. At least that’s what I think, I guess you’ll have to try it to see if you agree.

and you can make this starbucks keto drink to order:

Large Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte
with almond milk or heavy cream (instead of 2% milk)
& 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup

You’ll have a classic latte with a little vanilla flavor and a little creaminess, all for just 4 net carbs and $4.75.

11. starbucks keto iced latte

you can make it low carb if you ask for it like this:

Large iced latte
with almond milk or heavy cream
& 1 packet of sweetener

I like to order it with heavy cream to make it creamier. ordered the same way, this classic latte will have only 2 net carbs for $4.25.

keto non-coffee drinks at starbucks

then if coffee isn’t your thing, there are also plenty of great tea-based beverages, both hot and cold, that are just as delicious and low carb on the starbucks menu.

12. pink keto drink

you can make this popular instagram keto drink by ordering:

great passion tango tea without sugar
with 2 drops of heavy cream
as well as 3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
and pouring it over light ice

This drink is honestly perfect for summer: it’s cold, refreshing, and very reminiscent of strawberry ice cream! very good.

oh, and this keto drink has 5 carbs and costs $3.35.

Of course, you can decrease the amount of sugar free vanilla syrup if you want to go even lower carb. and I recommend adding a packet of whole earth sweetener if you do.

13. white keto drink (iced peach chill)

so this is another fan favorite that you absolutely can make low carb and keto with just a couple of substitutions.

just get a:

great frozen peach tranquility
light ice

if you just want a classic hot tea, starbucks offers a few more options than ice cream.

This is what you have to choose from:

chai tea
count gray
royal english breakfast
emperor clouds & fog
citrus jade mint
peppermint majesty
peach tranquility

There are so many delicious hot teas to choose from, and they’re all $2.25 for a large, and they’re zero carbs! So if you want a warm, comforting beverage that’s ideal for the keto diet, these teas are a great option.

15. keto chai tea

one of starbucks most popular beverages is chai tea. And the good news is that it’s incredibly easy to make keto chai tea at starbucks!

just ask for a:

teavana big tea
made with 2 chai tea bags in hot water
then add 2 splashes of heavy cream
2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
and a generous pinch of cinnamon on top

The pro tip here is to make sure your barista uses tea bags instead of the chai tea concentrate they have, which is loaded with sugar.

That said, ordering a keto chai tea like this at starbucks will set you back $3.15. That makes it one of the cheapest keto drinks you can get at Starbucks. and, in terms of the amount of carbohydrates, it will cost you 4.5 grams of carbohydrates. but any and all of those carbs are worth it, trust me!

It’s full of the deliciousness and spiciness of chai tea! It’s hot, cinnamon and it warms you up perfectly. As far as fall keto starbucks drinks go, this keto chai latte is at the top of my list.

16. royal keto english breakfast

This Royal English Breakfast is another hot milk tea that you can easily make low carb and keto.

This is how to order it:

grande royal english breakfast milk tea
with almond milk
& 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup

Like chai tea, it will cost $3.15 but it only has 4 net carbs.

17. keto fog london

just like chai tea and real english breakfast, this keto london mist is another fantastic idea for sipping starbucks in the fall.

It’s creamy and a bit sweet with a beautiful herbal flavor too. and it’s another hot tea drink option at starbucks, so it’s perfect for when it’s cold outside.

now here’s how to order a keto london fog:

get a great earl gray tea made with two tea bags
add a splash of heavy cream
and 3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup

now ordering a london fog like this is only $3.15 and has4 carbs.

18. keto iced tea real english breakfast milk tea

For a delicious and creamy iced tea with milk, my choice is this Royal English Breakfast Milk Tea. It’s just as refreshing and tasty without as much caffeine as coffee, making it perfect for a late afternoon pick me up.

Here’s how to order it low carb:

grand royal english breakfast milk tea
with almond milk
& 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup

Ordered this way, the milk tea will have only 2 net carbs and you can get it for $4.25.

hot coffee drinks for keto at starbucks

if you really fancy a hot cup of coffee (lol), there are plenty of hot keto coffee drink options available at starbucks too!

So, let’s go over some of my favorites.

21. keto coffee mix

This delicious latte drink is one of my favorites. the French call it café au lait, starbucks calls it café misto, I call it delicious.

That said, to order a keto mixed coffee at starbucks, order:

a great mixed coffee
with almond milk instead of 2% milk

literally, that’s all you have to ask for! if you order it this way, it’s only 2 carbs and costs $3.85.

22. keto latte

keto latte is one of my favorite hot espresso drinks at starbucks.

And it’s super easy to order low carb and keto.

just ask:

a great latte
prepared with ¾ water and ¼ milk cream
and sweeten it with a few packets of whole earth

if you order a latte like this at starbucks, it will only have 2.5 carbs and cost $5.15.

by the way, if you have a little wiggle room, I recommend adding 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup for an extra 2 carbs.

made this way, it has the perfect balance of creaminess, sweetness, and coffee flavor that you want in a latte!

by the way, one of my favorite things to go with this is these homemade egg bites. They’re just as good, if not better, than starbucks egg bites, and unlike the ones out there, they’re ketogenic.

23. keto flat white

for all you espresso lovers out there, we can easily make keto starbucks flat white!

for that to happen, command:

a short flat white: the tall flat white just adds more milk and not more espresso
order it made with ½ water and ½ milk cream
& sweeten it with 2 sachets of whole earth

I like the short floor because it holds two shots of espresso, which is more than enough for me. That said, if you order it the way I like it, it will have 1.5 carbs and cost $4.55.

However, if you really need a caffeine boost, the grandé flat white has 3 shots of espresso.

so, for this more caffeinated option, you’ll want to order…

a large flat white
make it with ¾ water, ¼ heavy cream
and sweeten it with 4 packets of whole earth

Ordered this way, your keto flat white at starbucks will cost $5.35 and will have 3 carbs.

24. black coffee

you can get the great black coffee at starbucks absolutely carb free!

or you can add a splash of almond milk for creaminess along with 2-3 packets of whole earth for sweetness. if you get it this way, it’s about 1.5-2 carbs and only $2.45.

by the way, pairing this keto coffee with one of these healthy cereal options is a great way to start your morning!

25. ketogenic cappuccino

A cappuccino is a classic espresso-based drink made with steamed milk. And to make it keto, you just have to make a little adjustment.

This is how to order a low carb cappuccino:

great cappuccino
with almond milk

how simple is that? and if you want to sweeten it up a bit, feel free to use some sweetener packets or add a few pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup!

This basic caffeinated drink is $3.65 and has only2 net carbs!

26. espresso with bread

Need a quick caffeine rush to wake you up in the morning? well, if you do, the espresso with panna is perfect! is a shot of straight espresso that has just under 4 net carbs as is.

but if you want it even lower carb, order it with almond milk and light whipping cream, and you’ll get 1 net carb! oh, and it’s about $2.00 for all sizes.

27. ketogenic espresso macchiato

This keto espresso macchiato is another great option if you need some caffeine ASAP but want to grab some. you get a few shots of espresso with a dollop of steamed milk to balance out the bitter taste. and I think it’s much tastier to drink than a regular espresso.

That said, you can order keto espresso macchiato at starbucks by asking for:

doppio espresso macchiato
with heavy cream instead of 2% milk
and you can use some whole earth packets to sweeten it too

Ordered this way, the drink will only have 1 carb and will cost $2.75. Also, note that the doppio size holds 2 shots of espresso, and I think that’s the perfect amount. but, if you want a little less caffeine, ask for a single, and if you want a little more, ask for a triple.

28. keto blonde vanilla latte

Just like the iced version we discussed above, you can turn a hot blond vanilla keto latte into starbucks just by making a few simple substitutions. and this is definitely one of my favorite starbucks hot keto drinks.

so, to make this keto drink, just ask:

a great vanilla blonde latte
with almond milk or heavy cream (instead of 2% milk)
substitute 2 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup for the vanilla syrup
& add a few whole earth packets if you need more sweetness

Although the frozen version is delicious, I prefer the hot one because of the milk foam.

Having said that, if you order a latte like this, it will end up being 5 carbs and cost $4.75.

29. keto cinnamon dolce latte

one of the most popular drinks at starbucks, especially during the winter, has to be the cinnamon dolce latte. and if you’ve ever tried it, you know why.

This drink is loaded with deliciousness, but the regular one is also loaded with carbs and sugar. but don’t worry, you can make it keto and still get all the cinnamon dolce flavor!

To do this, command:

a great cinnamon dolce latte
make sure you don’t order whipped cream or sweet cinnamon chips.
substitute 2% milk for almond milk or heavy cream
& Substitute 3-4 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup for the Dolce Cinnamon Syrup. to add cinnamon flavor, ask for a generous pinch of common cinnamon to mix into the drink.

now starbucks no longer offers the dolce cinnamon sugar free syrup which really sucks because the dolce cinnamon sugar free syrup was the most delicious sugar free syrup. so be sure to ask for the hint of cinnamon in the drink!

oh, and a little pro tip for replacing dolce cinnamon chips: use a packet of whole earth sweetener and mix it with some ground cinnamon. then you can sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of your latte.

order it this way, and your cinnamon dolce latte will have 5 net carbs and cost $4.95. this is a super specific request, so you won’t be able to do it in the app.

30. caramel macchiato

the caramel macchiato is one of starbucks most beloved beverages. And it may seem like you can’t have it on the ketogenic diet, but with this little trick you can!

Here’s how to order it to be low carb:

large caramel macchiato
ask for almond milk
with 3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
a light drizzle of my keto caramel sauce on top

If you order it like this, it will cost you 4 net carbs for $4.15. but if you want to go even lower carb, you can use your own sugar free caramel sauce to top it off!

starbucks keto food

along with your low carb drink, you can also get a small keto snack at starbucks.

and most of the ones you’ll find there are 1 net carb or less!

31. moon cheddar cheese

starbucks also offers these great moon cheese snacks that are less than 5 net carbs per bag! they have a super cheesy flavor with a satisfying crunch. ugh, they are so good! you can pick them up near the counter for $4.95.

32. starbucks cheese strips

these fantastic string cheese sticks are also available at starbucks! each bar is $1.25 and has only 1 carb.

33. wheel of babybel cheese

Lastly, and I also mentioned these on my walmart haul, I highly recommend grabbing a couple of these convenient little wheels of cheese. They are absolutely no carbs and cost less than $1.00! Seriously, they’re the perfect keto snack on the go!

34. squirrel brand classic almonds

You can find these almonds at the Starbucks register. they are dry roasted, and the only ingredients are almonds & sea salt! a full packet is only 4 net carbs and costs $2.25.

35. creminelli sopressata uncured salami and monterey jack cheese dish

This meat and cheese platter is a great savory snack to go with your starbucks keto drink, especially since it has no net carbs! it costs $5.95 at starbucks.
