McDonald’s When it comes to McDonald’s, I have to say I’m a sucker for a Coke (seriously, it’s better there!) and hot order of french fries. However, the chain’s hot chocolate doesn’t live up to those high standards. The McCafe Hot chocolate wasn’t as satisfying as other brands.
The McCafe Hot chocolate wasn’t as satisfying as other brands. I found it to taste pretty artificial—something about it reminded me of candy coating. While I appreciated the nice swirl of whipped cream and chocolate sauce, I just didn’t find this hot chocolate to be very chocolatey. Next time you visit, try these secret menu items instead. 5.
There are 370 calories in a small Hot Chocolate. Order one today using Mobile Order & Pay to pass the line! Taste the delicious chocolatey flavor of a McCafé® Hot Chocolate. Hot chocolate made with steamed whole milk, rich chocolate syrup and topped with whipped topping and chocolate drizzle.

How much sugar is in a McDonald’s cookie?
Yikes! It also contains 13 grams of saturated fat and 66 grams of sugar, which is one of the highest amounts of sugar on the entire McCafe menu. Even a McDonald’s Cookie has less sugar—if you eat three cookies, you still won’t reach the amount that is in this drink.
Iced Mocha. Courtesy of McDonald’s. Per medium: 320 calories, 11 g fat (7 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 125 mg sodium, 48 g carbs (2 g fiber, 43 g sugar), 8 g protein. “It may be wise to think of some of these drinks like a dessert rather than part of a meal,” Yule says.
A medium mocha frappe contains the same number of calories as two McDonald’s hamburgers. Yikes! It also contains 13 grams of saturated fat and 66 grams of sugar, which is one of the highest amounts of sugar on the entire McCafe menu. Even a McDonald’s Cookie has less sugar—if you eat three cookies, you still won’t reach the amount that is in this drink.
“You are definitely getting a lot of sugar with the French Vanilla Latte,” Yule says. And at 290 calories, this is just another drink choice that is better suited as a dessert. You’d be consuming a similar nutritional profile if you ordered McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae, which is 330 calories and 44 grams of sugar.
The addition of caramel syrup to the plain cappuccino moves this drink from the best to the worst list, Yule explains, as a regular McCafe Cappuccino contains only 160 calories and 12 grams of sugar.
What is the most caloric beverage at McDonald’s?
Interestingly enough, the Strawberry Shake pulls ahead and is actually the most caloric beverage on the entire McDonald’s menu. It’s made of “creamy vanilla soft serve, blended with strawberry syrup and topped with whipped topping,” according to McDonald’s site.
Taking a gander at the ingredients, it’s clear that the Chocolate Shake is made with lots of problematic add-ins, from corn syrup and guar gum and even carrageenan in the whipped cream. ( Previous research has linked carrageenan with various gastrointestinal and colonic ailments.)
McDonald’s Mocha and Caramel FrappĂ©s are actually tied when it comes to caloric content at a whopping 420 calories in a size small—plus, a high amount of fat (22% of your daily value) and far too much sugar for a drink order.
510 calories, 13g fat (9g sat, .5 trans), 220mg sodium, 84g carbs (0g fiber, 55g sugar), 11g protein. The “healthiest” of McDonald’s shakes, the Vanilla Milkshake packs a bit fewer calories than its menu relatives, but only by an infinitesimal amount: It has 1 gram less fat and 10 fewer calories than other milkshakes.
Fun fact: McDonald’s isn’t just known for its burgers. The leader of fast food also has a wide-ranging, thorough beverage menu that helps diversify its options. From a bevy of sodas and iced teas to lemonades, milkshakes, juices, fruit slushies, milks, and smoothies, the chain also has its McCafe menu, which boasts everything from coffee …
