The healthiest ways to eat at Dunkin’

Whether you still call it by its old-school name of Dunkin’ Donuts or you’ve modernized to Dunkin’ (the company officially shortened its name back in 2019), chances are you appreciate their tasty coffee, donuts, breakfasts, or snacks. They’re delicious, and with Weight Watchers®, there’s room for sweet treats in an overall healthy pattern of eating that’s part of our program for weight loss. If Dunkin’ is a regular stop for you, you’ll just want to keep an eye on the added sugar. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, added sugar accounts for an average of 270 calories per day in the U.S. Plus, if you don’t know the actual nutrition of an item, some can seem deceptively healthier than they actually are. That’s why the experts at Weight Watchers have done the math for you, calculating a points value for menu items that takes into account things like added sugars and fats vs. fiber, protein, and other factors. Knowing the points for your Dunkin’ favorites can help you make better choices — for example, a Dunkin’ blueberry muffin has 22 points, double that of a glazed donut! Read on for our picks for options at Dunkin’ that hit the sweet spot, caffeinate you, and don’t use up all of your points for the day.

Coffee on its own has no points…but adding pumps of syrups, whole milk, or whipped cream all add points. Stick to these options to get your coffee without all the extras.

Points values are based on a size small.

• Cold brew coffee 0 points

• Iced coffee with almond milk 1 point

• Hot coffee with skim milk 0 points

• Hot cappuccino with skim milk 1 point

• Americano, hot or iced 0 points

• Coffee without milk (hot or iced) 0 points

• Hot latte with oat milk 3 points

• Hot macchiato with skim milk 1 points

Points for teas can range from none at all up to double digits (thanks to added sugar), depending on your order. Check out these lower-impact or no-points options, whether you prefer your tea hot or iced.

Points values are based on a size small.

• Sweetened raspberry iced tea 5 points

• Hot chai tea latte with skim milk 7 points

• Unsweetened iced tea 0 points

• Strawberry dragonfruit refresher 5 points

• Matcha iced latte with skim milk 5 points

• Bold breakfast black tea 0 points

• Chamomile fields herbal infusion hot tea 0 points

Our picks for breakfast often feature eggs to get you some protein with your morning meal, though hash browns or bagels can also fit into your points budget.

• Egg and cheese wake-up wrap 5 points

• Plain stuffed mini bagels (2 mini bagels) 9 points

• Bacon, egg, and cheese wake-up wrap 7 points

• Hash browns (6 pieces) 4 points

• Turkey sausage, egg and cheese wake-up wrap 8 points

• Avocado toast 6 points

• Egg white & veggie omelet bites (2 omelet bites) 7 points

If you’ve ever wondered how many Munchkins equal a whole donut, points totals give us some hints: roughly four. Even with the same donut base, toppings can also make a difference, since a chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles is 4 more points than a sugared donut.

• Munchkin (glazed chocolate, jelly, powdered, glazed, cinnamon, glazed blueberry, glazed old fashioned) 3 points per Munchkin

• Old fashioned munchkin 2 points per Munchkin

• Lemon donut 10 points

• Sugared donut 8 points

• Bavarian kreme donut 10 points

• Strawberry frosted donut 12 points

• Jelly donut 11 points

• French cruller 11 points

• Glazed donut 11 points

• Chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles 12 points

Nothing is off-limits at Dunkin’ — including its delicious donuts or sweetened drinks. If you’re trying to lose weight, consider ordering a no-point beverage or having a couple Munchkins rather than a whole donut.
