Dunkin dontuts?!?

iffy8

So I'm a New Englander so I RUN on Dunkin. I usually get a large Iced hazelnut extra cream and extra sugar. Until today when I saw the actual nutritional facts. I need something that tastes good, from Dunkin, iced, HEALTHY and something I can get in a large...any recommendations?

my suggestion... switch to starbucks and get a soy latte lol.

Ice coffee black?

_Witsy_

Get it regular instead of "extra", to start.....

Ice coffee black?

^This.

I have dated two women from the New England area, and I swear, I have never seen so damned many of one chain in any given three mile radius as I do the DDs in upstate New York, and Connecticut.

But seriously, if it HAS to be from there, go with Acg's suggestion. That's about the only way you are going to get what you are asking for.

Switch to milk in it instead of cream and if you can't get used to it being black..ask for just a little milk in it. Then switch out the sugar and either use splenda or bring some stevia or something with you in packets.

Yeah, DD Iced Coffee black. If you have the calories for it, it's really good with just cream (no sugar).

I go with Starbucks...coffee with steamed skim milk. A tad bit of sugar (I don't like artificial sweeteners) and some cinnamon. As my sister calls it - a poor mans latte.

I guess I'm of an age where I just don't get the amount of money people spend buying a coffee every morning. I have a great coffeemaker, grind my own beans, set it to brew right before I wake up and drink my own coffee, adding to it whatever I want that fits into my calories. It's no trouble, I have great coffee, I save money and calories.

black or with milk and splenda.......if you need to have the sweetness. I am from Boston and run on DD myself. I only have one cup a day and used to do cream and sugar.......now it is milk and splenda.

I third this! Partly because you shouldn't ruin a good coffee with extras (unless you are getting Starbucks, then get all the extras, because that stuff tastes like dirt) but mostly just for the yip yip martians

i do this same exact thing very tasty and saves tons of cals!

Really? We are denying ourselves a little milk and sweetener in our coffee now?

Just get coffee with the milk of your choice and the sweetener of your choice. The calories are not significant if you are aware of them. I drink 3-4 cups of hot coffee a day, it's about 120-150 calories total with skim milk and sugar.

Do you have to go anywhere for your Coffee? Make it at home and save money.

In regards to the sugar part, as you may now know it's not healthy and will only stall your weight loss. It'll take time but cut back little by little and eventually you won't need it at all in your coffee.

I have absolutely nothing helpful to add to this topic because I don't drink beverages with added sugar, but can't help commenting that I thought you wrote "dontuts" on purpose--like don't. ????

I do love a nice gourmet coffee from a coffee house, but I make my own as well, besides the very occasional cup. I miss in Europe where the coffee from bakeries or cafes was so delicious and not near as expensive.

unsweetened raspberry iced tea...very tasty.

billsica

Dunkin regular coffee with one splenda in it. I can't stand starbucks.

Thank you to the people who offered actual suggestions! I'm going to try the skim milk and Splenda. If not then I'm back to blue Monsters.


To everyone else: I didn't ask for your opinion on the subject nor on your opinion of "chains". If you took the time to comment you should've taken the time to see I signed up just a couple days ago. I was not aware of how frivolous my question would seem to you. But it's noted not to ask questions on this board. Thanks.

I miss their milky way hot chocolate...wish they'd bring it back.

I lived in New England and I live in the southwest and I too love Dunkin' Donuts. Oh yeah, and watch it. If you have a question on here people will just bash you for it because they deem nearly any question as a stupid one. Unless it's, "Should I lift heavy?" or "Bacon? lol Bacon jokes lol BACON do you bacon? LOLOLOL Funny bacon".

Now I feel guilty about my don't uts post except don't really is what I have to tell myself when I want a box of DD donut holes which average 60 to 70 calories each!
I'm a hot coffee lover. I used to use sweetener & fat free half & half. The I realized the 1/2 & 1/2 was loaded with sugar. I weaned myself from the sweetener & increased my creamer using almond milk or 2%. I drink skim alone, but for my coffee, I like something creamier. Latte I would go skim because it contains such a large proportion of milk.
My point is, take it one step at a time & you won't miss your former necessities as your taste acclimates.
Good luck!

One of my favorite things about traveling for work to the Boston area is the SCADS of Dunkin Donuts out there.

I usually go with coffee with nonfat milk and splenda. But I actually like nonfat milk.
