Dunkin’ Starts ‘Smart’ Menu Options Next Week

New Haven Register:

Looking to lighten up that morning on-the-go breakfast or mid-afternoon coffee run?

For those who feel guilty ordering their coffee with extra cream, or downing a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on the way to work, Dunkin’ Donuts has announced it will launch its first menu of “better-for-you options” in stores next week.

The new menu, slated to launch Wednesday and dubbed “DDSmart,” includes new items, as well as more healthful versions of some of the chain’s existing menu options. All DDSmart menu items meet at least one of the following criteria: 25 percent fewer calories than comparable foods; 25 percent less sugar, fat, saturated fat or sodium than comparable fare; or ingredients that are nutritionally beneficial.

One of the new DDSmart options will be egg white flatbread sandwiches, which will come in two varieties: turkey sausage, with spinach and reduced-fat mozzerella cheese; and veggie, with peppers, onions, mushrooms and reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Both sandwiches have less than 300 calories, contain 9 grams of fat or less and are served on toasted multigrain flatbread.
