What are some keto friendly drinks you would suggest to customers?(self.starbucksbaristas)

Honestly, when people ask me at drive thru or at register, I always have a hard time suggesting them drinks. I’m to where I have to ask my other partners about their suggestions and I honestly want to help the customers by myself.

A bottle of water.

Iced coffee or hot coffee with a sugar free syrup and heavy cream. Or an unsweetened tea, maybe add some stevia.

Just a heads up, our sugar free syrups aren’t really keto. They contain maltodextrin and sucralose which are artificial sweeteners that can spike your blood sugar even worse than actual sugar and can knock people out of keto.

It’s just what I recommend for as close as we can get. Alas, Starbucks doesn’t pay me to be a dietician or nutritionist, so I just say “this has less sugar than regular” and let them decide what’s best for their diet. I don’t think any of us get paid enough to deal with “I NEED MUH KETO PANK DRANK AND MUH EGG BYTES” 200 times a day from Karen’s who then also eat 2 cake pops and order a lemon bread for later 😂

90% of what we have isn’t keto. I see some people doing the passion tea unsweetened w heavy cream which makes me gag.
Regular milk has too much sugar for them, so a breve latte can be okay or a heavy cream latte but please don’t go suggesting that to people.

Hot/ iced americanos with a splash of heavy cream, and some stevia, splenda, or their preferred non-sugar sweetener. Or a plain iced tea. Just because someone is keto doesn't mean they HAVE to have a huge amount of fats in every meal. It's all about the ratios.

Nitro cold brew + sugar free vanilla + heavy cream

I commented on someone else’s but our sugar free syrups aren’t really keto because of the artificial sweeteners.

I would literally just tell them that unfortunately I'm. not qualified to make dietary recommendations, and if they can find a particular drink online and tell me what they want I would be happy to customize something for them.
