White Castle: Chocolate Shake
Despite being served in whopping 44-oz. portions, this ice cream drink offered in the Cincinnati area (yes, White Castle changes its ingredients by region), may sound relatively innocent. But slurp on this: You’re better off eating 10 original sliders, which have the same amount of calories, but nearly four times less saturated fat.
Wendy’s: Caramel Frosty Shake
Made with the chain’s signature Vanilla Frosty mix, this flavor ups the ante with caramel sauce and whipped cream, costing you as many calories as three (yes, three!) Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers.
Burger King: Strawberry Shake
Thanks to milk, strawberry syrup, numerous miscellaneous ingredients (none of which include fresh strawberries), and the sheer volume of this 30-oz. beverage, sipping a large strawberry shake from the BK Lounge is akin to eating almost three Whopper JR.'s!
Applebee’s: Decadent Shakes
No matter what flavor (OREO, mango or banana) you choose when ordering a 20-oz. ice cream shake from this popular restaurant, rest assured you'll get your calories’ worth. In fact, you'll get more than if you had ordered a 12-oz. rib eye (one of the fattiest cuts of beef around).
Red Lobster: The Traditional Lobsterita
Despite serving fish, which is traditionally thought of as a leaner option, Red Lobster certainly doesn't shy away from high-calorie menu items, like their signature 24-oz. frozen margarita (made with Sauza Gold Tequila margarita mix), boasting as many calories as two orders of fried flounder.
Dunkin' Donuts: Vanilla Bean Coolatta
Don’t let the word “Coolatta” (and all its light and refreshing connotations) fool you. When you sip on a large serving of this 32-oz. slush drink, you might as well have eaten more than two of the restaurant’s Boston Kreme Donuts.
Jamba Juice: Peanut Butter Moo’d
To be fair, this drink’s very name (ahem, "Moo") warns of indulgence. Boasting calcium-packed yogurt, bananas and chunky peanut butter, this 24-oz. smoothie does have some nutritional value, but not enough to account for nearly half your daily calorie consumption.
Make your own smoothie at home with these super-simple recipes.
Dairy Queen: Strawberry Lemonade Chiller
Even if you pass on the ice cream at the popular shake shack, tread carefully! This 31-oz. mix of lemonade, frozen strawberries and sugar has as many calories as most medium-size DQ malts, made with soft-serve ice cream.
Subway: Sweetened Tea
Needless to say, we doubt the 245-pounds-thinner Subway spokesman, Jared, would approve of the hoagie hub’s 40-oz. brewed tea option. The refreshment has more calories than its 6-in. Meatball Marinara sub, and only 10 calories less than a foot-long Subway Club.
