Keto At Starbucks
In starting your keto journey, you probably thought you had to give up Starbucks, right? Well, that actually might not be the case.I'm here to tell you that it is absolutely possible to maintain your keto diet and order keto Starbucks drinks!
In fact, there are A LOT of options on the menu that you can make low carb and have an incredible keto Starbucks drinks experience. All you have to do is make a few simple substitutions, and I'll tell you exactly what to do for each one of these keto Starbucks drinks.
By the way, Starbucks doesn't have aketo hot chocolateor aketo pumpkin spice latte on the menu, but I've got recipes for both of those on the blog. So, check those out if you're in the mood for either of those drinks.
Anyway, let's not waste another second and give in to this Keto Starbucks guide!
Starbucks Keto Pro Tips
My favorite thing about ordering at Starbucks is that the drinks areendlessly customizable. And it's also why you can make so many of the keto Starbucks drinks there low carb and keto friendly
That said, knowing what to order and what not to order can help you make your keto Starbucks drinks as low carb as possible.
So, here are five pro-tips for ordering keto at Starbucks.
1. Skip the whipped cream
Yes, the whipped cream at Starbucks is full of fat, but it's alsofull of sugar and carbs. So you'll definitely want to avoid it.
2. Remember that skinny drinks aren't keto drinks
Many people make the mistake of thinking skinny drinks are low carb keto drinks. However, the only thing "skinny" means at Starbucks is that the drinks are made with fat-free milk and sugar-free syrup.
Not to mention, most skinny drinks at Starbucks 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 thelowest carb milk optionsavailable at Starbucks.
Both of these options have around 5 grams of carbs per cup. But, that's A LOT LOWER than all of the other options on Starbucks' menu.
4. Sugar Free Does Not Mean Carb Free
A lot of people think that the sugar-free syrups are carb-free. Unfortunately, they're not.
The SF syrups at Starbucks are actually made with a very VERY small amount ofmaltodextrin - which is another word for sugar.
That said, each pump of the sugar-free syrup at Starbucks has about1 gram of carbs.So you'll want tobe very specific about the amountof 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 Starbucks Has
Starbucks offers several different sweetener packets at their stores.
However, none of these are especially great for keto.
The Stevia In The Raw packets are actually mostly dextrose with a teeny-tiny bit of stevia, and the Splenda packets are mostly dextrose with a teeny-tiny bit of sucralose. What this means is that these packets basically have 1 gram of carbs - and sugar - in them.
With that said, if you use just a packet - or two - you'll probably be ok with keeping most of your Starbucks orders keto.
But, if you're the kind of person who likes to add 4,5, or even 6 sweetener packets to your Starbucks drinks then I recommend using your own keto-friendly sweetener.
6. BRING YOUR OWN SWEETENER
I actually just keep a bunch of these Whole Earth packets in my car - so I can add them to my keto Starbucks drink orders when I need to - since they have 0 net carbs!
And, yes, I know the back of the packet lists it at 1 carb, but this is only because of how the FDA makes companies list the nutritional info of sugar alcohols on packages.
For sure, it's confusing. But, just know there are 0 REAL CARBS in a packet of Whole Earth's stevia, monk fruit, erythritol blend.
However, the same cannot be said for Sweet’n Low, Splenda, or Stevia In The Raw - all of these contain some form of sugar. Usually in the form of maltodextrin, dextrose, or both.
Cold Coffee Drinks for Keto at Starbucks

The iced toasted oatmilk shaken espresso is a newer drink that Starbucks offers. And it has become really popular, really fast! It comes with blonde espresso, oatmilk, and toasted vanilla syrup for a deliciously creamy and vanillay drink.
How it comes is not keto friendly, so you'll have to make a little tweak to make it low carb. Here is how to order it:

Hot Coffee Drinks for Keto at Starbucks
If you're really in the mood for a hot cup of joe (lol), there are a ton ofhot keto coffee drink options available at Starbucks too!
So, let's go over some of my favorites.
21. Keto cafe Misto
This deliciously milky coffee drink is one of my favorites. The French call it café au lait, Starbucks calls it a Café Misto, I call it delicious.
That said, to order a Keto Café Misto at Starbucks, ask for:
- A Grande Café Misto
- With almond milk instead of 2% milk
Literally, that's all you have to ask for! If you order it this way, it has just2 carbsand costs$3.85.
22. Keto Café Latte
The Keto Café Latte is one of my favorite hot coffee/espresso drinks at Starbucks.
And it's super easy to order it low carb and keto-friendly.
Just ask for:
- A Grande Café Latte
- Brewed with ¾ water and ¼ heavy cream
- And sweeten it with a few Whole Earth packets
If you order a café latte like this at Starbucks, it'll have just2.5 carbs, and cost $5.15.
By the way, if you have a little wiggle room, I recommend adding2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrupfor an additional 2 carbs.
Made this way, it has thatperfect balance of creaminess, sweetness, and coffee flavorthat you want in a latte!
By the way, one of my favorite things to pair this with are these homemade egg bites. They're just as good - if not better - than the egg bites at Starbucks and they're actually keto friendly unlike the ones there.
23. KETO FLAT WHITE
For all you espresso lovers out there, we can easily make the Starbucks Flat White keto!
To make that happen, order:
- A Short Flat White – the tall flat white just adds more milk and not any more espresso
- Ask for it made with½ water and ½ heavy cream
- & sweeten it with 2 whole earth packets
I like the short flat because it has two espresso shots, which is more than enough for me. That said, if you order it how I like to, it'll 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 Grandé Flat White
- Get it made with ¾ water, ¼ heavy cream
- And sweeten it with4 whole earth packets
Ordered this way, your keto Flat White at Starbucks will cost $5.35 and have 3 carbs.
24. Black Coffee
You can get the Grande Black Coffeeat Starbucks absolutelycarb free!
Or, you can add asplash of almond milkfor creaminess along with 2-3 whole earth packets to sweeten it up!If you get it this way, it has around1.5-2 carbsand costs just$2.45.
By the way, pairing this keto black coffee with one of these healthy cereal options is a great way to kickstart your morning!
25. Keto Cappuccino
A cappuccino is a classic espresso-based drink with steamed milk. And to make it keto friendly, you just have to make one small adjustment.
Here'show to order a low carb cappuccino:
- Grande Cappuccino
- With almond milk
How simple is that? And if you want to sweeten it up a little bit, feel free to use some sweetener packets or add in a few pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup!
This staple caffeinated drink costs$3.65and has only2 net carbs!
26. Espresso Con Panna
Need a quick caffeine buzz to wake you up in the morning? Well, if you do, the espresso con panna is perfect! It's a straight espresso shot that has just under 4 net carbs as is.
But if you want to make it even lower in carbs, order it with almond milk and light whipped cream, and it will come out to 1 net carb! Oh, and it's around $2.00 for all of the sizes.
27. Keto Espresso Macchiato
This Keto Espresso Macchiato is another great option if you need a quick kick of caffeine ASAP but want to sip on something. You get a few shots of espresso with a dollop of steamed milk to balance out the bitter flavor. And I think it's just so much tastier to sip on than a regular espresso shot.
With 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 canuse some Whole Earth packets to sweeten it up too
Ordered this way, the drink will only have 1 carb and cost $2.75. Also, keep in mind, the doppio size has 2 shots of espresso, and I think it's the perfect amount. But, if you want a little less caffeine, order a solo, and if you want a little more, order a triple.
28. Keto Blonde Vanilla Latte
Like the iced version we went over earlier, you canturn a hot Blonde Vanilla Latte ketoat Starbucks by just making a few simple substitutions. And this is definitely one of my favorite hot keto Starbucks drinks.
So,to make this drink keto, just order:
- A Grande Blonde Vanilla Latte
- With almond milk or heavy cream (instead of 2% milk)
- Substitute the vanilla syrup for 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
- &Add some Whole Earth packetsif you needmore sweetness
Although the iced version is delicious,I prefer the hot one because of the milk foam.
Having said that, if you order the latte like this,it'll end up being 5 Carbs, andcost $4.75.
29. Keto Cinnamon Dolce Latte
One of the most popular drinks atStarbucks- especially during the winter - has to be theCinnamon 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 not to worry, you can make it keto and still get all the cinnamon dolce flavor!
To do this, order:
- A Grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte
- Make sure to ask for NO whipped cream and NO cinnamon dolce sprinkles.
- Substitute the 2% milk with almond milk or heavy cream
- & substitute the cinnamon dolce syrup for3-4 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup.To add the cinnamon flavor,ask for a generous sprinkle of regular cinnamon to get mixed into the drink.
Now, Starbucks doesn't offer the sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup anymore, which really stinks because the sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup was the most delicious sugar free syrups. So make sure you ask for the sprinkle of cinnamon in the drink!
Oh, and a littlepro tipto replace the cinnamon dolce sprinkles - use apacket of Whole Earth sweetenerandmix it with a little bit of 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 have5 net carbsandcost $4.95. This is a super specific order, so you won't be able to do it on the app.
30. Caramel Macchiato
The caramel macchiato is one of Starbucks' most beloved drinks. And it might seem like you can't have it on the keto diet, but with this little hack you can!
Here's how to order a keto caramel macchiato at Starbucks:
- Grande caramel macchiato
- Ask for almond milk
- With 3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
- Light drizzle of caramel sauce on top
If you order it like this, it will come out to 4 net carbs for $4.15.
With that said though, if you want to make your Starbucks macchiato to have next to 0 carbs, you can use my homemade sugar free caramel sauce to top it off, or you could even use this 0 carb one by Walden Farms.
Also, if you'd like to make this delicious drink at home, I have a keto friendly caramel macchiato recipe for it up on the blog. So, give that a look if you want to save some money and make it yourself!
31. Oleato Caffe Latte
The Oleato Caffe Latte is another drink you can easily customize at Starbucks and make it keto friendly. The base drink is a combination of oat milk, espresso, and olive oil, but it packs over 30 grams of carbs.
However, if you just make a simple substitution to this order you can bring the carbs of it down to just 3 grams.
So, with that said, to order a keto friendly Oleato latte all you have to do is ask for:
- A grande Oleato Caffe Latte
- Ask for almond milk instead of oat milk
- Optionally: if you want to sweeten it up you can add 2-3 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup
