These low-calorie drinks at Dutch Bros have less than 250 calories and are a smart choice.
1. American – 10 Calories in a Medium
An Americano is a low-calorie drink at almost any coffee shop, like Starbucks.
An Americano is basically a shot of expresso with hot water.
At Dutch Bros, the Americano medium drink has 10 calories and 0 grams of sugar. To make the beverage tastier, you can ask for a splash of milk.
2. Cold Brew (No Sugar or Milk Added) – 20 Calories in a Medium
Cold brew is a method of making coffee that involves steeping ground coffee beans in cold or room temperature water for several hours, resulting in a coffee with a lower acidity level than traditional coffee.
The Cold Brew at Dutch Bros only has 20 calories and is available hot (toasted) or cold (iced).
Like the Americano, you can add a splash of milk (and/or sugar) to your Cold Brew to make it slightly yummier.
3. Nitro Cold Brew– 20 Calories in a Medium
Nitro is a type of coffee that is infused with nitrogen gas (yes, really!). The nitrogen creates a creamy, smooth texture and a slightly sweet flavor.
The Nitro (AKA Dutch Bros’ Nitro-Infused Cold Brew) is one of the healthiest drinks at Dutch Bros.
The Nitro has 20 calories, 0 grams of fat, 3 carbs, and 1 gram of protein.
4. White Chocolate Lavender Cold Brew – 120 Calories in a Medium
The White Chocolate Lavender Cold Brew is a specialty drink from Dutch Bros.
If the White Chocolate Lavender Cold Brew is available, you are in luck! This tasty, healthy beverage at Dutch Bros is made with cold brew coffee, white chocolate, and lavender flavorings.

Dutch Bros sells lots of tropical teas, and all of them have around 160-200 calories. For example, the Dutch Bros Peach tea has 200 calories and 27 carbs.
The Dutch Bros teas are basically tea with syrup, so these drinks are high in sugar.
In fact, I wouldn’t necessarily call the teas “healthy,” as they all have around 37 grams of sugar (which is a lot!).
But, if you are watching your calories, the teas at Dutch Bros are a decent choice.
7. Toasted Annihilator Nitro – 180 Calories in a Medium

Warning: The Iced Annihilator Nitro is different from the hot Annihilator Chocolate Macadamia Nut Breve. Don’t order the iced Annihilator Chocolate Macadamia Nut Breve if you are watching your calories. The iced Annihilator Nitro Cold Brew beverage has 270 calories vs. 180 calories.

The Caramelizer also has 29 grams of sugar.
10. Iced Vanilla Latte – 350 Calories in a Medium

A medium iced vanilla latte at Dutch Bros has 350 calories, 7 grams of fat, 63 carbs, 62 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein.
