I remember driving into Manhattan at 2AM every weekday morning for my traffic gig. I would stop by the Dunkin’ Donuts around the corner from the station to get some coffee. At the time, there wasn’t any nutritional information included on the menu. So, I really didn’t know how many calories was in my cup-a-joe. To be honest, I really didn’t care. All I wanted was to have enough energy to make it through the newscasts.
But since becoming a mom, I’ve been struggling to lose the last five to ten pounds of baby weight. So, it helps to know what I’m buying. I recently learned about the DDSmart menu at Dunkin’ Donuts. It makes eating smart on the go so much easier. After looking over the menu, I realized that the medium cup of coffee with skim milk and splenda that I’d buy was only 30 calories! But truth be told, I haven’t always made healthy choices when eating out. It’s good to know that restaurants like this are now helping customers make healthier choices.
Many items on the DDSmart menu are under 300 calories. There’s also freshly-brewed unsweetened teas with zero calories and other healthy selections.
In honor of DDSmart, Dunkin’ Donuts is offering fans a chance to receive a $10 mGift. You can enter once a day for a shot to be one of three daily winners through October 21st. You can head over to the Dunkin’ Donuts Facebook Fan Page to learn more, and sign up.
I’ll also be giving away two $50 mgifts. These virtual gift cards will allow you to make purchases in a snap. All you’d have to do is download the Dunkin’ Donuts app to your smartphone. Upon purchasing, the sales clerk will scan your smartphone, and deduct the cost from your virtual card. Pretty cool, huh?! I’ve enjoyed using my mGift. They also make pretty great gifts too! All the details on how to enter can be found below. Good luck!
The mGift is accepted at participating restaurants throughout the U.S. Dunkin’ Donuts is the first national coffee retailer to enable people to send virtual gift cards three ways – text, email, and Facebook Connect. This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.
