5 Keto Drinks You Can Order at Starbucks (Without Blowing Your Carb Count)

Hey there, coffee lover!

If you're on the keto journey but still want to sip something delicious from Starbucks without falling into a sugary trap, I’ve got you. Starbucks can be a little tricky when it comes to keto-friendly drinks—but it’s totally doable once you know what to ask for.

Today, I’m sharing 5 keto drinks you can order at Starbucks that are low-carb, creamy, energizing, and totally satisfying. Whether you're craving something iced, hot, creamy, or fruity—there’s something here for every kind of caffeine queen.

So let’s break it down, girlfriend!

1. Keto Pink Drink

Yep, the viral pink drink has a keto version—and it’s just as pretty and delicious.

Here’s how to order:

• Ask for a Grande Iced Passion Tango Tea, unsweetened

• Add heavy cream instead of coconut milk

• Add sugar-free vanilla syrup (usually 2–3 pumps)

• Add freeze-dried strawberries (optional – very minimal carbs)

Why it works: The original Pink Drink is full of sugar, but this swap gives you that same creamy, refreshing flavor without the carbs. Perfect for warm days or when you’re craving something light and sweet.

Macros (approx):

• Net Carbs: 3–4g (depending on the number of pumps)

2. Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso – Keto Style

Love that rich, iced espresso vibe? This one’s for you.

How to order:

• Ask for a Grande Shaken Espresso, no classic or brown sugar syrup

• Add 2-3 pumps sugar-free vanilla or cinnamon dolce syrup

• Ask for a splash of heavy cream or almond milk

• Add cinnamon powder for a spicy kick

Why it works: You’re skipping the sugar but keeping that delicious shaken espresso flavor, plus a creamy, cinnamon-spiced finish.

Macros (approx):

• Net Carbs: 3–4g

3. Keto-Friendly Mocha

Because yes—you can still enjoy a chocolatey drink on keto. This one’s rich, warm, and cozy.

How to order:

• Ask for a Grande Americano (hot or iced)

• Add 2–3 pumps of sugar-free mocha syrup (or use 1 pump regular for flavor + less sugar)

• Add heavy cream (or almond milk if you prefer)

• Top with whipped cream (optional but delicious)

Why it works: Most mocha drinks are loaded with sugar, but using sugar-free syrup and heavy cream gives you a rich, indulgent taste without the carb overload.

Macros (approx):

• Net Carbs: 3–5g

4. Keto Chai Tea Latte

If you love that cozy, spiced chai flavor—don’t worry, you don’t have to give it up on keto!

How to order:

• Ask for a Grande Chai Tea (made with chai tea bags, not the syrup!)

• Ask for it steeped in hot water

• Add heavy cream or almond milk

• Add 2 pumps sugar-free cinnamon dolce or vanilla syrup

• Top with cinnamon or nutmeg for that chai vibe

Why it works: The chai syrup is super sugary, but using tea bags instead keeps the carbs down while still giving you that warm spice flavor.

Macros (approx):

• Net Carbs: 2–3g

5. Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte – Keto Edition

Creamy, sweet, and caffeinated? Sign me up.

How to order:

• Ask for a Grande Iced Blonde Roast Espresso

• Add 2–3 pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup

• Add heavy cream or almond milk

• Optional: top with whipped cream or cinnamon

Why it works: Blonde espresso has a smoother, slightly sweeter flavor—and paired with sugar-free vanilla and cream, it’s basically keto heaven in a cup.

Macros (approx):

• Net Carbs: 3–4g

Tips for Ordering Keto at Starbucks

Here are some bonus tips to help you customize anything you order:

1. Swap milk: Always swap regular or nonfat milk for heavy cream, almond milk, or half & half.

2. Watch the syrups: Skip any drink with classic syrup, brown sugar syrup, or sweetened flavor syrups. Stick with sugar-free vanilla or sugar-free cinnamon dolce.

3. Keep it simple: Cold brew, espresso shots, americanos, and teas are naturally low carb—customize with cream and sugar-free syrups.

4. Don’t be afraid to ask: Baristas are used to custom orders. Just be polite and specific.

5. Track your macros: Starbucks doesn’t list every custom drink’s nutrition, so use an app like Carb Manager or MyFitnessPal to estimate.
