We often go to spend our holiday at Dutch Bros, most of us with our family so the big problem is that we can not order the same drinks for kids as we do for ourselves. It’s because our digestive and immune system is much stronger than kids, moreover, at that age we can not predict perfectly whether our child has any allergy to any ingredient in the drink.
So, there must be some options in the menu that are compatible with the kid-organized system. The good news is Dutch Bros has a separate kid section on their menu from where you can order a specific item, or also hold some drinks options that are healthier for the kids. Let’s explore all of these suitable drink options together.
Kids’ drinks consumption capacity is very from adults, that’s Dutch Bros offer 10 ounces cup for them.

Best Drinks For Kids at Dutch Bros Menu
If you want to select an appropriate drink for your kid, then let me help you to select one among many.
Strawberry Smoothie
This drink is served in 10 ounces cup with a cool strawberry flavor along with whipped cream as a topping. This drink is dairy free so a good option for lactose intolerant persons, and due to its fine pink color its a source of attraction for kids.
| Fat | 2g |
| Carb | 49g |
| Protein | 0g |
| Sugar | 45g |
| Calorie | 220 |
In my point of view, you should avoid ordering this drink for your kid as its nutritional value shows a high sugar level that can not consider in healthy terms.
You should definitely consider the calories in any selected drink for your kid so that it will go finely with the normal assigned calorie value.
| Age | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| 4-8 years old | 1400 kcal/d | 1200 kcal/d |
| 9-13 years old | 1800 kcal/d | 1600 kcal/d |
NOT-SO-HOT
If your kid is a chocolate lover then this drink would be best, the hot chocolate drinks for adults can not be served to the kids because of the high temperature. So this drink has a kid-friendly temperature of approx 100 Fahrenheit.
The best point about this drink is, it can be customized with additional flavors and syrups.
| Fat | 13g |
| Carb | 43g |
| Protein | 11g |
| Sugar | 41g |
| Calorie | 330 |
Lemonade for Kids
We have set our preferences from a very early age, which means if we like the vibrant and tangy taste it means we like it from a very childish age. It means kids also love to have lemonade so select the one from the below mentioned.
- Strawberry Lemonade
- Palm Beach Lemonade
Strawberry Lemonade
Dutch Bros’ Strawberry Lemonade is an extraordinary drink, with a delicious and balanced taste. It is a mixture of filtered water, strawberry syrup, and ice, kids are fans because of its color and taste.
This lemonade is available in all sizes large, medium, and small, but as we are going to order it for our kids then always order in small sizes.
| Glass Size | Small |
| Fat | 0g |
| Carb | 43g |
| Protein | 0g |
| Sugar | 41g |
| Calorie | 180 |
This drink is available in both iced (vibrant pink in color) and blended form (baby pink in color), but we should consider the nutrition value so the iced style lemonade will be best because blended one holds 70g of sugar and 330 calories in the same size of the cup.
Palm Beach Lemonade
This is very difficult to find a kid that does not like pomegranates, also this fruit has a lot of health benefits. This fruit has antioxidants and helps promote a healthy urinary system, so these two benefits are enough to decide whether a drink having this would be best for the kids or not.
This drink is normally served at Dutch Bros with a mixture of peach and pomegranate syrup along with water and ice. It tastes somehow tart and a bit sweet, this taste is actually induced by the pomegranate.
| Glass Size | Small |
| Fat | 0g |
| Carb | 45g |
| Protein | 0g |
| Sugar | 43g |
| Calorie | 190 |
I think this drink would be a superb option for your kids, you should definitely try it once, but as citric and malic acid are present in pomegranate so check first that these both do not act as an allergen for your kid. It’s necessary because the throat of children is soft and sensitive and citric acid greatly sores them, it’s not for all kids, but for those who are sensitive to citric or malic acid.
Dutch Bros Frost
Frost at Dutch Bros frost drinks are normally served with flavored syrups (hazelnut, caramel, vanilla, or chocolate) and ice, this drink can also be topped with whipped cream.
It’s all up to you to add milk or not, if adding you can choose milk like soy, almond milk, or coconut milk.
Dutch bros offer different frost drinks like:
- Ninja Dutch Bros Frost
- Cotton Candy Bros Fros
- White chocolate
- Strawberry Dutch Bros Frost
The nutritional value of all these frosts are different from each other due to variations in ingredients, and quantity. But whatever you consider the calorie count of these all frost are little high that why it’s not a regularly used drink for children.
If you are going to order this for your kids prefer to order sugar-free with the addition of almond milk which gives it a naturally sweet taste.
But due to their great taste these drinks are superb for children occasionally, or after a long period of time. But still, try to give them in very little quantity so that everything remains in balance and nothing gets disturbed as high sugar level is not good for them.
If your child is allergic to dietary items then avoid this drink, as whipped cream also holds some lactose level.
1 Table Spoon = 0.43g of lactose
Important Factors to Consider While Buying a Drink for Kids
- Avoid ordering inappropriate drinks like those containing caffeine or soda.
- Choose one with the least calories and sugar level.
- Select the one which has all the ingredients healthy, and none of them act as an allergen for your kid.
- Avoid adding large quantities of syrups or artificial colors as they are not good for children’s guts.
- Always order as small size as available for the specific drink.
- Choose a hydrating drink.
- Consider the ones that don’t bother your budget.
No doubt, the upper instructions are very important but the kid’s own perception is also very important, also consider their requirements, like, and dislikes towards the drink.
