How to order Dutch Bros with less sugar?

Answered by Amado Berg

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I understand the importance of finding options with less sugar. When it comes to ordering at Dutch Bros, there are a few steps you can take to reduce the sugar content in your drink.

1. Check the menu for sugar-free options: Dutch Bros offers several sugar-free syrups that are keto-friendly. Look for flavors like vanilla, hazelnut, and coconut that are sweetened with alternative sweeteners like stevia or erythritol. These syrups can be a great substitute for the regular sugar-laden syrups.

2. Opt for unsweetened almond milk: Instead of regular milk or a milk alternative that contains sugar, ask for your drink to be made with unsweetened almond milk. Almond milk is lower in sugar compared to cow's milk and other milk alternatives. It adds a creamy texture to your drink without the added sugars.

3. Customize your drink: When placing your order, make sure to communicate your preferences clearly. Ask for no added sugar or syrups and specify that you want the sugar-free syrups and unsweetened almond milk instead. Be explicit about your choices to avoid any misunderstandings.

4. Be mindful of toppings and extras: While Dutch Bros offers a variety of tasty toppings and extras, many of them contain added sugars. Avoid whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or any other sugary additions. Stick to simple and natural flavors to keep the sugar content low.

5. Consider alternative sweeteners: If you still want some sweetness in your drink, but want to avoid traditional sugars, you can ask for alternative sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit extract. Dutch Bros may have these options available, so don't hesitate to inquire about them.

6. Size matters: Keep in mind that the size of your drink can affect the overall sugar content. Opt for smaller sizes or ask for less syrup to further reduce the sugar content. Sometimes indulging in a smaller portion can be just as satisfying without the excess sugar.

By following these steps and being clear with your preferences, you can enjoy a delicious Dutch Bros drink with less sugar. Remember, it's all about making mindful choices and finding alternatives that suit your taste and dietary needs.
