The Top 10 Worst-for-You Starbucks Drinks

Published on Monday, March 1, 2010, by Lessley Anderson / Edit Post

I knew eggnog lattes weren't helping my waistline, but this list of the top 10 most caloric Starbucks specialty drinks on CallMeThirsty.com nearly gave me a coronary! At the top, clocking in at 730 calories, is the Peppermint White Hot Chocolate. The Eggnog Latte is 630. (Numbers represent the venti size, made using whole milk and with whipped cream options.) Compare these to the number of calories in a Big Mac: 540.

  • I agree that these numbers are inflated. When I was a barista, we used 2% milk for all drinks, we only used whole milk upon request.

    There are plenty of options if calories are an issue, including non-fat milk, sugar-free syrup and leaving off the whipped cream.

  • Most people don't get the Venti size, at least at the SBUX I frequent. Sounds like CallMeThirsty.com is just adjusting the sizes to make the list look more shocking. They should've compared to a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese (740 calories).
