NOT.
Did you know that a Starbucks Venti 2% Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha has 600 calories and 95 grams of sugar? So Men's Health magazine reports.
95 grams of sugar is more sugar than the average person consumes in a day.
And this is for 1 (count 'em 1!!!!!) drink.
Men's Health magazine also states that a Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd Power Smoothie
(where do they come up with these names?) has 1,170 calories and 169 grams of sugar per 30 oz. serving. That's almost my entire caloric intake for a day! In one drink!!!! And almost twice as much sugar as the Starbucks Chocolate Mocha. Talk about a sugar high.
But the king (queen?) of caloric drinks is, as one would expect, a milkshake. Or should we call it a sugarshake? The winner is, drumroll please: weighing in at 1,660 calories and 160 grams of sugar per 20 oz, Love It size we have Cold Stone Creamery Oh Fudge! Shake.
Wowser, now that's a heavyweight! In all meanings of the word heavy. I think I'll stick with water for my beverage of choice. That's what this little girl is made of. Lots and lots of water.
In health,
Laura
