Dunkin’ is famous for its delectable assortment of sweet, carb-loaded donuts and Munchkins, which typically don’t align with diet-friendly choices. Nonetheless, the chain offers a variety of healthier, more nutritious alternatives for those on a weight loss journey. Nicole Blasi, a Nutrition Coach and Certified Personal Trainer at Life Time Chestnut Hill, advises that “If you’re searching for healthier menu items that won’t derail your fitness objectives, especially if targeting stubborn love handles, Dunkin’ Donuts has some surprisingly wise choices.” She emphasizes moderation, smart substitutions, and enjoying meals to maintain diet adherence and consistency. Blasi’s recommendation? “Focus on managing calories, sugar, and saturated fat, while ensuring sufficient protein and fiber intake to keep you feeling satisfied longer.” Discover 8 of Dunkin’s best orders that seamlessly fit into a balanced diet, helping you work toward a trimmer waistline and achieve your goals.

Turkey Sausage Wake-Up Wrap
Her second recommendation for a Dunkin’ meal is the Turkey Sausage Wake-Up Wrap. What makes it a healthy option? “It’s a good source of lean protein and contains less fat compared to bacon or sausage variants,” she explains.

Multigrain Thin Bagel with Light Cream Cheese

Hot or Iced Coffee with Skim Milk or Almond Milk
If you need a caffeine fix, avoid calorie-dense sweet drinks and order a Hot or Iced Coffee with Skim Milk or Almond Milk without sugar. “Caffeine boost without excess calories or sugar. Avoid flavor swirls, since they add 150+ calories,” she says.

English Muffin
If you want something simple, order a plain English Muffin. ” A low-calorie alternative to croissants or bagels; pair with egg white & veggie omelet bites for balance,” she says.
Unsweetened Iced Green Tea
Another option to get a quick pick-me-up in the form of a drink? Unsweetened Iced Green Tea. “Refreshing and hydrating with antioxidants and no added sugar,” she says.
