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.

wow! I had no idea the frozen lemonade was that high in calories =[
I get it with half the strawberry syrup... that must take off a few calories...
It's horrible and NOT worth the calories!!
Saying its "NOT worth the calories!!" is more than a little subjective isn't it??
Yeah, a large is 450 calories, but it only takes some freaking self control. If I've had 250cals for breakfast, another 350 for lunch, then go and get a Bigmac, no special sauce, with some ketchup and a large frozen strawberry lemonade and its 920cals, im at 1520 for the day, well below my daily intake while eating at a 1500cal deficit...
Thanks to the poster, I couldn't find sizes of this thing anywhere else and had no idea how big the large cup was :D
If you go to McDonald's site, you would know that a 16oz. frozen lemonade has only 250 calories. Check your facts before you post. So with that, there is no way a large is 450 calories!
