The lowest-carb Starbucks drinks are the plain basics: brewed coffee, Iced Coffee, Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew, espresso, a Caffè Americano, and unsweetened Iced Black, Green or Passion Tango tea. Starbucks lists 0 to 2 grams of carbs for a Grande of each. To make them taste like a treat, add Sugar-Free Vanilla or Sugar-Free Caramel syrup (the only two sugar-free syrups on the US menu right now) and a splash of heavy cream. Below are 39 low carb Starbucks drinks and exactly how to order them, plus how to make them at home.
Updated October 2026: we checked every order against the current US Starbucks menu. Skinny Mocha sauce, Sugar-Free Cinnamon Dolce syrup, the blackberry fruit add-in, brewed chai tea bags and a few older teas aren’t on the menu anymore, so we fixed the drinks that used them or took them off the list. Holiday and fall flavors are marked as seasonal.
If you are following a keto diet, you know that coffee is a great way to start your day or get a quick pick-me-up. But what if you want to treat yourself to a Starbucks drink? No problem! There are plenty of keto-friendly options to choose from. In this blog post, we will give you a list of keto-friendly drink options. Before you do there are things you should learn about Starbucks coffee to keep you on the right track of your Keto diet.

What To Avoid In Your Starbucks Drinks?
Syrups
First things first, you want to avoid any drinks that have syrups. That means no flavored coffees, no Frappuccinos, and no Starbucks Refreshers. A lot of the time, these drinks are loaded with sugar which will kick you out of ketosis diet fast.
Milk
The same goes for drinks made mostly with milk, like lattes. Starbucks uses 2% milk unless you ask for something else, and a plain Grande Caffè Latte already has 19 grams of carbs from the milk. While Starbucks offers milk alternatives that are non-dairy, they often add sugar to them. So, it’s best to keep any milk to a splash.
Sugar
The next thing you want to avoid is sugar. That means no lemonade, no Refreshers, and no sweetened teas like the tea lemonades or the Iced Peach Green Tea. The good news: the plain Iced Coffee and the Iced Black, Green and Passion Tango teas now come unsweetened unless you ask for Classic Syrup. Chai lattes and matcha lattes come with Classic Syrup, so ask for no Classic or skip them.
Now, that you know what to avoid we’ll share some keto-friendly substitutes to add flavor to your coffee.
Keto-Friendly Starbucks Substitutes
Instead of just ordering a boring black coffee or a dark roast you can add these keto-friendly substitutes to your coffee. Some you can ask for at Starbucks, and some are for the drinks you make at home.
Syrup Substitutes
Instead of the regular syrups, which are sweetened with sugar, you can add flavor with:
– Vanilla extract (for drinks you make at home)
– Cinnamon (at Starbucks, ask for Cinnamon Powder on top)
– Cocoa powder (at home)
– Sugar-free syrups (at Starbucks that means Sugar-Free Vanilla or Sugar-Free Caramel)
-Ask for just 1-2 pumps of regular syrup (a Grande flavored latte normally comes with 4 pumps)
Milk Substitutes
The type of milk you use in your coffee will also play a role in how many carbs are in your drink. Instead of the 2% milk Starbucks uses by default, you can use:
-Almond milk
-Coconut milk
-Oat Milk
-Splash of heavy cream
-Half and Half
-Whipped cream as a topping
Sugar Substitutes
Starbucks has Splenda and Stevia in the Raw packets. If you prefer another sweetener, bring your own or use one of these at home:
39 Low Carb Keto Drinks To Order At Starbucks
Here are 39 keto Starbucks drinks that you can order at your local Starbucks. Feel free to add any substitutes to fit your needs and tastes. The calories and carbs listed under each drink are our own estimates for that customized order, not official Starbucks numbers, so check the nutrition in the Starbucks app before you order. A few orders ask for cold foam made with heavy cream, which isn’t one of the preset cold foams in the app, so ask in person. Read below for how to order. Don’t forget to pair your coffee with some of our favorite low carb keto snacks.

By making a few simple substitutions to how your coffee is made you can drastically reduce the number of carbs and calories in your favorite Starbucks drink. Below I am going to give you some specific recipes for how to make some popular Starbucks drinks at home using keto-friendly ingredients.
How To Make Keto Starbucks Drinks For Recipes At Home?
To make some of these Keto-friendly options at home you will need to have a few items on hand such as an espresso machine, coffee maker, teapot, frother, Nitrogenator, espresso shots, coffee grounds, tea bags, classic syrups and sugar-free syrups, artificial sweeteners, heavy whipping cream, your choice of milk, whipped cream and any other toppings or flavor additives you like.
-Espresso: To make a keto espresso at home you will need an espresso machine. If you don’t have one, you can use a Moka pot or stovetop espresso maker.
-Iced Shaken Espresso: This is my favorite Starbucks drink and it’s very easy to make at home. Simply brew some espresso and add it to a cup of ice. Then, add your favorite keto-friendly milk (I like almond milk) and sweetener (I like sugar-free vanilla syrup).
-Cappuccino: To make a keto cappuccino at home, you will need an espresso machine and a frothing pitcher. Froth your milk of choice and add it to the espresso. I like to top mine with a little bit of cinnamon.
-Caffe Misto: A Caffè Misto is half brewed coffee and half steamed milk. To make a keto one at home, brew a strong cup of coffee and top it with the same amount of steamed or frothed unsweetened almond milk.
-Latte: Lattes are easy to make at home, you just need an espresso machine and milk frother. Froth your milk and add it to the espresso. I like to top mine with a little bit of cinnamon.
-Cold Brew: Cold brew is easy to make at home, you just need coffee and a pitcher or mason jar. Steep the coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain and enjoy.
-Nitro Cold Brew: This is just a cold brew that has been nitrogenated. To make this at home, you’ll need a Nitrogenator. Steep the coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain and nitrogenate.
-Tea: You can make tea at home with just hot water and tea bags. I like to add a squeeze of lemon and a little stevia (honey adds sugar).
-Pink Drink: Starbucks’ Pink Drink is the Strawberry Açaí Refresher with coconutmilk, so it isn’t keto as it comes. For a keto version at home, brew a hibiscus herbal tea, chill it, then shake it with ice, sugar-free vanilla syrup and a splash of heavy cream.
-White Drink: Steep green tea or white tea for 5 minutes. Add your own sweetener (stevia, monk fruit) and stir to dissolve. Pour the tea into a large cup filled with ice and add 2 pumps of Sugar-Free Vanilla Syrup and a splash of Heavy Cream.
-Chai Tea: Chai tea is a spiced black tea. To make a keto one at home, steep black tea with cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom, then add a splash of heavy cream and your favorite keto sweetener instead of honey.
I hope this helps you find some new keto Starbucks drinks to try! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below. And don’t forget to check out my other blog post on Keto recipes.
