When you walk through the doors of a Dunkin’ and take in a whiff of that deliciously sweet donut aroma, what you might not realize is that some of the popular drinks on the menu actually contain more calories than the donuts themselves.
Dunkin’ even has Starbucks beat when it comes to high-calorie beverages, with its Frozen Coffee clocking in at over 1,000 calories and items like Frozen Chocolate and Coolattas not too far behind.
So what are the highest-calorie drinks available on the Dunkin’ menu? We’ve compiled a list of those that rise above the rest.
The highest-calorie hot and cold drinks at Dunkin’
When we say highest-calorie, we mean that this group of drinks tops off the menu in terms of calorie count compared to the other drink items. But we have to determine a cut-off somewhere, so for this high-calorie list we’re sticking with any Dunkin’ beverage that contains 400 calories or more.
We’re also calculating these items in a large cup size across the board – which will contain the most calories, naturally – so that you can see how they compare to each other. In most cases, the large is the largest size you can order at Dunkin’ (with the exception of hot coffee and tea that comes in an XL). The large cup size at Dunkin’ is 20 ounces.
The winner in terms of calorie count is the Frozen Coffee at Dunkin’, which can contain anywhere from 500 to 1080 calories for a large drink, depending on which milk and flavors you choose. Frozen Chocolate isn’t far behind at 890 to 900 calories, and a Vanilla Bean Coolatta will come in at nearly 800.
When it comes to hot drinks, the highest-calorie item is actually a signature latte: the Vanilla Frosted Donut Signature Hot Latte is a seasonal item that’s currently on the menu, and it contains 540 calories in a large size. As far as regular menu items, the Caramel Craze Signature Hot Latte is next on the list with 530 calories per cup.
Since you can usually select a milk option for most drinks on the menu (certain options are available for certain beverages), the milk you choose will often affect the calorie count. We’ve included any variations of the drinks below where you have the option – but if you don’t see a specific milk type indicated, the drink is made with Dunkin’s standard whole milk.
You can also choose or add flavors, sugars, and sweeteners to your drinks at Dunkin’, whether it’s a flavor shot, a flavor swirl, or an artificial or natural sweetener. So keep in mind that these selections will effect the calorie count (for example, one flavor shot will add around 5-10 calories to a medium size drink, while a flavor swirl will add around 150-160 calories).
Here’s a complete look at every drink on the Dunkin’ menu that contains 400 or more calories (in a large size).
