So, Just Order a ‘Tall’

A venti — or 20-ounce — Caffé Mocha with whipped cream has 490 calories, equivalent to a Quarter Pounder with cheese. And a 24-ounce Java Chip Frappuccino with whipped cream has 650 calories, not to mention almost an entire day’s allowance of saturated fat.

According to the center, a nutritional advocacy group, the Frappuccino is equivalent in calories to a McDonald’s coffee plus 11 of their creamers and 29 packets of sugar.

  1. You can also order a “short” if you request it. It’s not on the menu on the wall, but Starbucks does stock the shorter cups for those who want something smaller than a “tall.”
