15 Starbucks drinks with the most calories
The INSIDER Summary:
- Starbucks drinks may be your go-to in the morning or a nice treat, but their Frappuccinos rack up some serious calories.
- In one Green Tea Frappuccino there are 550 calories, which is about the same as a Big Mac from McDonald's.
The trick to saving calories? Get your Fraps made with nonfat or almond milk, and skip the whipped cream!
Java Chip Frappuccino
The Java Chip Frap tops the list at 600 calories for a venti made with whole milk and whipped cream. That's more than three Krispy Kreme donuts combined!

Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino
The Midnight Mint Mocha Frap is Starbucks's newest limited-edition drink, containing 570 calories for a venti made with whole milk and whipped cream. If you don't see the pattern by now, whole milk + whipped cream = calories out the wazoo! (Delicious, fatty calories!)
White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
A venti White Chocolate Mocha Frap with whole milk and whipped cream has 550 calories, which is equal to about two and a half slices of Domino's cheese pizza!

Caramel Frappuccino
Venti whole milk Caramel Fraps with whipped cream top out at 510 calories — the same amount as a Whopper from Burger King. Oh, and that's not including the extra dose of caramel sauce we know you order (don't lie!).

Hot White Chocolate Mocha
This is the second-highest calorie non-Frap item on Starbucks's menu, topping out at 580 calories for a venti with 2% milk and whipped cream (imagine what that number would look like with whole milk!). That's the equivalent of a footlong Black Forest ham sub from Subway!
Iced White Chocolate Mocha
