Starbucks Salted Caramel Cold Brew Calories

Starbucks salted caramel cold brew calories for all four drink sizes, Tall, Grande, Venti and a Trenta are as follows:

• Tall 12 Oz (360 ml): 190 calories, 110 calories from fat.
• Grande 16 Oz (480 ml): 240 calories, 130 calories from fat.
• Venti 24 Oz (720 ml): 270 calories, 140 calories from fat.
• Trenta 30 Oz (900 ml): 300 calories, 140 calories from fat.

Let’s compare this amount of calories that are in the same drink from Dunkin’s that is available in three drink sizes, Small, Medium, and Large.

• Small 10 Oz (300 ml): 190 calories.
• Medium 14 Oz (420 ml): 240 calories.
• Large 20 Oz (600 ml): 340 calories.

Comparing the drink sizes we can see that the amount of calories in the two smallest drink sizes, Tall and Grande at Starbucks and Small and Medium, have the same amount of calories.

However, the Large drink size (20 Oz, 600 ml) at Dunkin’ has more calories than the large Venti 24 Oz (720 ml) drink from Starbucks. 340 calories Vs 270 calories.

Tall Salted Caramel Cold Brew Calories

Let’s see how many calories, sugar and caffeine is in a Tall 12 Oz (360 ml) Starbucks Salted caramel cream cold brew coffee and compare it to the same equivalent coffee from Dunkin, their Small 10 Oz (300 ml) Salted caramel cold brew coffee.

• Tall 12 Oz (360 ml): 190 calories, 19 grams of sugar and 145 mg of caffeine.

Let’s look at the same equivalent drink at Dunkin:

• Small 10 Oz (300 ml): 190 calories, 33 grams of sugar and 110 mg of caffeine.

While the amount of calories is the same, the smaller 10 Oz salted caramel cold brew coffee from Dunkin’s has slightly less caffeine, 35 mg less which is approximately the equivalent of half a shot of espresso.

The amount of sugar, 33 grams, is a cause for concern. It is 8 grams more than what the American Heart Association recommends for women and children aged 2 to 18 years old and is just 3 grams lower than the 36 gram limit for men.

It’s a lot of sugar for a single food item.

Grande Salted Caramel Cold Brew Calories

A Grande 16 Oz (360 ml) Salted caramel cold brew coffee at Starbucks has the following amount of calories, sugar and caffeine:

• Grande 16 Oz (360 ml): 240 calories, 26 grams of sugar and 185 mg of caffeine.

Comparing this to the same equivalent drink from Dunkin’.

• Medium 14 Oz (420 ml): 240 calories, 45 grams of sugar, 150 mg of caffeine.

While the calorie count for both is the same and both have a more than ample caffeine kick that is at least the equivalent of a double espresso or 2.5 shots of espresso.

The sugar content of the drinks from both companies are a cause for concern as both the Starbuck Tall and Dunkin Medium size are over the limit set by the American Heart Association of 25 grams per day for women and children aged 2 to 18 years old.

The Dunkin’s Medium 14 Oz salted caramel cold brew coffee has more than the recommended maximum 36 grams per day of sugar for men.

Venti Salted Caramel Cold Brew Calories

Let’s take a look at the number of calories, sugar and caffeine in a Venti salted caramel cold brew coffee:

• Venti 24 Oz (720 ml): 270 calories, 32 grams of sugar and 275 mg of caffeine.

Let’s see how the same equivalent beverage and drink size from Dunkin’ compares:

• Large 20 Oz (600 ml): 340 calories, 61 grams of sugar and 220 mg of caffeine.

Again, the amount of sugar that is in a Starbucks Venti, with 32 grams, is a cause for concern due to being more than the suggested maximum intake by the American Heart Association for healthy adults and children.

At 33 grams it borders on the 36 grams permitted for healthy adult men.

The Dunkin’ Donuts have a shockingly high amount of sugar with 61 grams. It’s alarming, more than twice what a woman and child should consume in a single day in one drink!

Trenta Salted Caramel Cold Brew Calories

A Trenta, 30 Oz (900 ml) salted caramel cold brew coffee has 300 calories, 37 grams of sugar and 320 mg of caffeine.

This drink, for me personally, is a big no-no unless I’m sharing it. The amount of sugar is more than the suggested daily maximum as set by the American Heart Association.

The amount of caffeine, 320 mg, is a lot. It’s almost an entire daily maximum intake as per the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines of 400 mg per day for healthy men and women.

Notably, it is more than the 200 mg daily maximum suggested for pregnant and lactating ladies.
