TRICK OR TREAT? McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
It's summer. It's hot. What is better than a nice frozen beverage? But is it worth the calories?
The new McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is fat free, but it still sports a whopping 270 calories for the SMALL! That is 12 oz. Extrapolating the other sizes, I calculated:
Small (12 oz) McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 270 calories!
Medium (16 oz) McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 360 calories!!
Large ( 20 oz) McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is 450 calories!!! EEK!!!
So if you are watching calories you might want to bypass McDonald's. A low calorie option would be the Sonic Diet Cherry Limeade. A Route 44 ( and I can't drink 44 oz) is only 26 calories.
