What Is Considered A Low-Calorie Drink At Dutch Bros?  

“A low-calorie drink at Dutch Bros contains fewer than 200 calories,” says Parker. 

With that said, some people have more of a calorie budget to play with.  

So, I’ve also included a few drinks that are between 200 and 300 calories. 

Lowest Calorie Drinks At Dutch Bros  

1. Plain Americano (10 calories) 

Ingredients: Espresso shots of the Dutch Bros Private Reserve coffee blend with mild notes of cocoa 

The Plain Americano is the lowest-calorie drink on the Dutch Bros menu. 

It contains between 10 and 20 calories when consumed without any extras. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a caffeine ‘pick me up’ but don’t want anything too fancy.

You can drink this with no milk to keep the calories as low as possible. 

However, if you’re not a fan of plain black coffee, ask for it with almond or coconut milk to add flavor while keeping the calories to a minimum.

2. Toasted or Iced Cold Brew (20 calories) 

Ingredients: Dutch Bros’ Cold Brew 

Another very low calorie drink on the menu is the cold brew coffee. Unlike other drinks at Dutch Bros, the calories in the cold brew remain the same whether you decide to order it iced or toasted.

The cold brew at Dutch Bros is only offered in a Medium size. The Nitro Infused Cold Brew is also offered in Medium and comes in at 20 calories.

You can enjoy this low-calorie beverage while also customizing the flavor by adding one of the many sugar-free syrups that Dutch Bros offers.

A small amount of almond milk (20 calories per ½ cup) will add a bit of creaminess to the cold brew for minimal calories.

3.Passion Fruit Tea (80 calories) 

Ingredients: Green tea or Paris black tea and passion fruit syrup 

Whether drank hot or cold, the Passion Fruit Tea is a delightful blend of green or black tea and passion fruit syrup. 

The small size is ideal if you want a low-calorie drink but you also want to satisfy a sweet tooth.

If you choose this drink hot, you can have the small, medium or large for 80 calories. However, the iced version has a higher number of calories in the medium and large portion.

To cut down on the calories and sugar which make up the majority of this beverage, you could ask for your tea to be “half sweet”, where only half of the passion fruit syrup serving is added.

4. Strawberry Tea (80 calories)

Ingredients: Green tea or Paris black tea and strawberry syrup 

Similar to the Passion Fruit Tea, the Strawberry Tea at Dutch Bros uses green or black tea and blends with their strawberry syrup. 

You can enjoy this beverage hot in any size, or cold in a small size for a low-calorie drink.

Like the Passion Fruit Tea, asking for this drink to be “half sweet” will cut down on the carb and sugar content. Another alternative is ordering this drink with sugar-free syrup, since Dutch Bros carries the strawberry syrup in a sugar-free version.

5. Tropical Tea (80 cals iced, 90 cals hot) 

Ingredients: Green tea or Paris black tea with passion fruit syrup, coconut syrup, and blue raspberry syrup 

With a stunning bright-blue color, the Tropical Iced Tea is a great choice if you’re looking for a sweet and fruity beverage that isn’t too high in calories. It has a sweet and flavorsome blend of tea, passion fruit syrup, coconut syrup, and blue raspberry syrup. 

There is a small 10-calorie difference in the small size if you choose iced over hot, but this still qualifies as a low-calorie beverage.

 However, similar to the other teas it is high in sugar, with up to 64 grams of sugar in a large. To reduce the total sugar content, consider opting for the sugar free coconut syrup that Dutch Bros offers. 

6. Double RainBro Tea (90 calories)

Ingredients: Green tea or Paris black tea with strawberry syrup, coconut syrup, and peach syrup 

If you’re a fan of sweet and fruity flavors, the Double Rainbro Tea will satisfy your cravings without adding too many calories to your daily intake. 

Ordering this drink without one of the syrups will remove about 40 calories. 

Alternatively, each of the syrups in the RainBro Tea are offered in sugar free versions at Dutch Bros, so ordering the entire drink with sugar free syrups will bring it down to virtually zero calories. 

7. Peach Tea (100 calories) 

Ingredients: Green tea or Paris black tea and peach syrup 

The Peach tea at Dutch Bros is a refreshing beverage with green or Paris black tea and fruity peach syrup. 

If you ordered this drink with sugar-free Peach syrup it will be under 10 calories, putting it at the top of this low-calorie beverage list with the Americano.

8. Toasted Annihilator Cold Brew  (180 calories)

Ingredients: Nitro Cold Brew, chocolate macadamia nut syrup, half and half

This cold brew drink will give you a kick of energy and lots of flavor.

Like all of the cold brew drinks at Dutch Bros, it is only offered in a Medium size.

To reduce the calories in this drink, you could use the sugar-free chocolate macadamia nut syrup and swap the half-and-half out for almond milk.

9. Iced Tiger’s Blood Lemonade (180 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade and strawberry syrup and coconut syrup 

Available in an iced or blended form, the Tiger’s Blood Dutch Bros drink contains a blend of strawberry and coconut syrup mixed into their classic lemonade.

It is important to note that the iced lemonade at Dutch Bros contains significantly fewer calories than the blended lemonade. 

Choosing the small iced Tiger’s Blood Lemonade over the blended will save you about 150 calories.

This drink contains no coffee or tea so it’s a great option if you’re not keen on highly-caffeinated drinks but you still enjoy something sweet.

If you want to save calories, you can opt for either the sugar-free strawberry and sugar-free coconut syrup.

10. Toasted White Mocha Cold Brew (180 Calories)

Ingredients: Cold Brew, white chocolate sauce, chocolate milk

The toasted white mocha is a drink for the ultimate chocolate lover, since it uses both white chocolate sauce and chocolate milk to achieve its flavor.

You can enjoy this drink in any size and still be under 200 calories. However, the iced version of this drink contains almost 100 extra calories.

To reduce the calories in this drink, you could skip the white chocolate sauce and opt for the sugar-free white chocolate syrup instead. This will reduce the sugar while maintaining the white chocolate flavor in the drink.

You could also switch out the chocolate milk for a lower-calorie plant-based milk, however, this will likely change the flavor of the drink quite a bit.

11. Iced Strawberry Pineapple Lemonade (180 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade, strawberry syrup, pineapple syrup

This refreshing drink option has a tropical twist on conventional lemonade flavors with the addition of pineapple syrup.

Like all the lemonades at Dutch Bros, iced (not blended) is the best option if you want a lower-calorie drink, saving you 150 calories.

You can save additional calories by choosing the sugar free strawberry syrup. Unfortunately, there is no sugar free pineapple syrup, but you could ask for half the amount of pineapple syrup to save on calories.

12. Iced Strawberry Lemonade (180 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade, strawberry syrup

This lemonade option is great if you are craving simple summer flavors for under 200 calories, as long as you are choosing it iced and not blended.

You can reduce the calories and sugar in this drink by choosing the sugar-free strawberry syrup. The drink will still contain some sugar due to the lemonade mixture.

13. Toasted Nitro Infused Cold Brew Kicker (190 Calories)

Ingredients: Nitro Cold Brew, Irish creme syrup, half and half

This Nitro cold brew is similar to the Annihilator, only with Irish creme flavored syrup instead of chocolate macadamia nut, and only contains 10 additional calories.

Similar to the Annihilator, using the sugar free Irish creme syrup and swapping the half and half out for almond milk will reduce the calories in the Toasted Kicker cold brew.

Make sure you are ordering this drink toasted, since the iced version contains an additional 100 calories.

14. Iced Palm Beach Lemonade (190 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade, pomegranate syrup, peach syrup

This lemonade combines sweet and tart flavors for the ultimate refreshing summer drink and comes in at just under 200 calories for a small size when ordered iced.

You can reduce the sugar and calories in this drink while maintaining the same flavor by swapping the peach syrup out for the sugar free version.

15. Iced Raspberry Lemonade (190 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade, raspberry syrup

The raspberry lemonade is a simple blend of raspberry syrup and lemonade, and although it is a high sugar drink, the small size still qualifies as a low-calorie drink.

While you can’t make this drink 100% sugar-free because of the lemonade mixture, you can swap out the raspberry syrup for a sugar-free version and save on quite a few calories.

16. Iced Rebel Energy Midnight Rebel (190 calories)

Ingredients: Lemonade, pomegranate syrup, blackberry syrup

The Midnight Rebel Energy Drink is a great option if you are looking for a serious pick me up for under 200 calories.

While the small size is under 200 calories in the iced version, the blended version contains about 70 more calories and 18 grams of extra carbohydrates and sugar.

Neither of the syrups found in the Midnight Rebel is available sugar-free at Dutch Bros, but you could ask for your drink to be “half sweet” to save on calories.

17. Iced Rebel Energy Aftershock (190 Calories)

Ingredients: Dutch Bros Rebel energy drink with strawberry syrup, blackberry syrup, raspberry syrup, and lime syrup 

The Rebel Energy Aftershock contains Dutch Bros’ signature Rebel energy drink combined with the fruity sweetness of a number of fruit syrups.

Despite containing four different syrups, this drink still comes in just under 200 calories for a small. However, the blended version contains more calories at 260 calories in a small.

To minimize the calories and sugar content, skip one or two of the syrups or swap them to the sugar-free versions (you can get raspberry and strawberry in sugar free versions). 

You’ll still get a sweet and fruity flavor even with just two or three added fruit syrups. 

18. Iced Rebel Energy Electric Berry (190 Calories)

Ingredients: Dutch Bros Rebel energy drink with lime syrup and blue raspberry syrup 

The electric berry energy drink is a combination of lime and blue raspberry flavor, mixed with the signature Dutch Bros energy drink. A small iced version of this drink is considered low in calories at just under 200 calories.

Unfortunately, there are no sugar free versions of either lime or blue raspberry at Dutch Bros, but if you are looking to reduce the calorie and sugar content you could ask for this drink half sweet, where only half the amount of syrup is added.

19. Toasted Caramalizer Cold Brew (210 Calories)

Ingredients: Cold brew, caramel sauce, chocolate milk 

While the Toasted Caramalizer Cold Brew comes in at just over 200 calories for a small, it is still fairly low calorie compared to most of the drinks offered at Dutch Bros.

You can make this drink even more calorie-friendly by swapping out the caramel sauce for a sugar-free caramel syrup instead.

Keep in mind that the iced version of this beverage contains 90 more calories in a small, so make sure you are ordering this one hot!

20. Iced Vanilla Chai Tea Latte (280 Calories)

Ingredients: Chai tea latte mix, vanilla syrup, milk of choice, whipped cream 

While there are other drinks that contain less calories than the Chai Tea Latte, this is a great choice for under 300 calories if you have a slightly higher calorie requirement and you want to enjoy a creamy iced beverage that isn’t coffee.

This beverage does come in toasted (hot) as well, but the small toasted Vanilla Chai Tea Latte contains 50 more calories compared to the iced version.

You can easily make this drink more calorie friendly by asking for almond milk, sugar-free vanilla syrup, and opting out of the whipped cream on top.

Tips For Ordering Low-Calorie Drinks At Dutch Bros

Stick to Plain Coffees or Iced Teas  

The plain coffees, cold brews, and iced teas at Dutch Bros are the lowest calorie options, containing fewer than 200 calories. 

This is compared to many other drinks that contain 500+ calories. 

By sticking to these drinks, you can keep your calories to a minimum. 

They may not be the fanciest drinks at Dutch Bros but they will help you to stay within your daily calorie target. 

Ask For Your Drink Without Any Syrup or Sauce 

Although the syrups at Dutch Bros contain just an average of 38 calories per tablespoon, every little helps when you’re watching your calorie intake. 

You can save these extra calories by asking for your drink without any syrup. 

Alternatively, you can order your drink ‘half sweet’ (with half the amount of syrup). This will help maintain your drink’s delicious, sweet flavor without the added calories and sugar.

Similarly, some Dutch Bros drinks have sauces (instead of syrups), which contain significantly more calories (approximately 130 calories per tablespoon and 15 grams of sugar). 

So, make sure you know whether drinks have syrups or sauces because there are caloric differences between them. 

Swap For A Sugar-Free Syrup

Dutch Bros offers sugar-free syrups of various flavors, including chocolate, caramel, vanilla, chocolate macadamia nut, hazelnut, Irish cream, peppermint (seasonal), coconut, raspberry, peach, and strawberry.

So if you want to customize your drinks, opt for one of these sugar-free flavors.  

Take the Whipping Cream Off 

Whipping cream contains around 45 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per tablespoon. 

Many Dutch Bros drinks contain at least one tablespoon of whipping cream. Taking the whipping cream off your drink can save you at least 45-90 calories. 

Order A “Skinny Drink”

A few different drinks on the Dutch Bros menu can be made sugar-free (or ‘skinny’). 

The sugar-free drinks might not necessarily have fewer calories, but choosing one of these options can help to lower your total sugar intake.

The drinks offered in a sugar-free option are: Kicker, 911, Annihilator, Caramelizer, Cocomo, White Mocha, Double Chocolate Mocha, Double Torture.

Consider A Different Type of Milk

Dutch Bros offers alternative milk options in most of their drinks. They offer soy, oat, almond, and coconut milk, which are plant-based and lower in calories than cow’s milk.

More specifically, there are 148 calories in a cup of whole milk, compared to 131 calories in soy milk and 40 calories each in a cup of almond and coconut milk. 

You also have the option to swap out half and half or chocolate milk for a lower calorie option such as non-fat milk and 2% milk.

Therefore, you can save up to 108 calories per cup by choosing an alternative milk option.
