You Drink Coffee? Which Is The Worst For You?

WASHINGTON – Here’s a rude wakeup call: Your favorite latte may come with a whole lot of calories.

The Daily Beast compiled a list of the 40 unhealthiest coffee drinks from 15 chain restaurants and coffee houses. More than half of the drinks have more calories and at least as much saturated fat as a Big Mac from McDonald’s.

The drinks on the list represent the largest size available with the worst-for-you options (like whole milk and whipped cream).

No. 1 on the list? The Iced Blended Triple Chocolate Mocha from It’s A Grind Coffee House. The 32-ounce drink packs 1,190 calories, 22 grams of saturated fat and 188 grams of sugar.

Caribou Coffee’s Turtle Mocha comes in at No. 4, while Dunkin’ Donuts’ Coffee Coolata ranks No. 5. Starbucks makes its first appearance at No. 8 with a Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha.
