Groceries

Chocolate muffin

Chocolate muffin

I love muffins, but Dunkin’ ready-to-eat muffins are surprisingly loaded with sugar. A single chocolate chip muffin contains 49 grams of sugar, 550 calories, and 21 grams of fat, so it’s not exactly the healthiest way to start your day.

Sausage-egg-cheese sandwich

Maple Cream Stick

Maple Cream Stick

It might be best to avoid Dunkin’ Donuts altogether. They contain enough sugar to give you a good old sugar rush, but that doesn’t always feel good, especially around breakfast time. The Maple Creme Stick alone has 460 calories, plus 22 grams of fat and a whopping 34 grams of sugar.

Another example of what not to order is the classic eclair. It has 360 calories, 16 grams of fat and 23 grams of sugar. That seems like a lot for such a small treat!

Drinks

S'mores Cold Brew

S’mores Cold Brew

I love the new S’mores Cold Brew, but was shocked to learn that a medium size contains a whopping 48 grams of sugar. What?! I might make this drink at home from now on. A medium size also contains 390 calories and 20 grams of fat.

\u200b\u200bRefreshments

Dunkin’

Refreshers

Although a medium Dunkin’ Refresher in any flavor is low in calories (130) and low in fat (0 grams), it contains an average of 27 grams of sugar. Since it’s made with green tea, you might be better off ordering a plain iced tea instead to get your daily energy fix.

S\u2019mores Frozen Coffee

Dunkin’

S’mores Frozen Coffee

Dunkin’s frozen coffees are their version of a Frappuccino, and while they taste heavenly, a medium S’mores (mmm, S’mores) frozen coffee has 830 calories, 31 grams of fat, and 120 grams of sugar. Yuck.

Spark\u2019d Energy Drinks

Dunkin’

Spark’d Energy Drinks

Like the Refreshers, Spark’d energy drinks are relatively low in calories (130) and fat (0 grams), but a medium size contains 27 grams of sugar. Sure, it’ll boost your energy, but the crash will be much harsher.

Iced Mocha Coffee

Iced Mocha Coffee

Each variation of frozen coffee is pretty heavy for a single drink. The mocha variant has 690 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 121 grams of sugar.
