" With spring in full swing, and summer just a few short weeks away, we now find ourselves strolling outside as we delight in the beautiful weather. Oftentimes, these strolls are accompanied by jaunts into a coffee shop or an ice cream store to get a frosty treat. While many may feel that opting for the coffee is the healthier or least caloric choice, many times this is not the case. A serving of vanilla ice cream (which is \u00BD a cup) is only 145 calories, while a serving of a blended coffee beverage (16 oz) can range anywhere from 180 to 580 calories! The following chart gives a breakdown of some of your favorite coffee treats:                                                                                                                         Product                                     Serving                                 Size(oz)                                     Calories                                     Total                                 Fat(g)                                     Saturated                                 Fat(g)                                     Carbs(g)                                     Sugars(g)                                     Protein(g)                                                                                                           Starbucks                                 Coffee Frappuccino Blended Coffee \u2013 no whip                                     16                                     260                                     3.5                                     2                                     52                                     44                                     5                                                                                                           Starbucks                                 Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino - whip                                     16                                     580                                     22                                     13                                     86                                     65                                     14                                                                                                           Dunkin                                 Donuts Coffee Coolatta with Milk                                     16                                     210                                     4                                     2.5                                     42                                     40                                     4                                                                                                           Cosi                                 Arctic Latte                                     16                                     530                                     16                                     unknown                                     94                                     unkown                                     6                                                                                                           The Coffee Bean &amp; Tea Leaf Ice Blended, Mocha, with non-fat milk and regular powder                                     16                                     390                                     7                                     4.7                                     58                                     39                                     11                                                                                                           Caribou                                 Coffee Coffee Cooler                                     16                                     220                                     4                                     4                                     46                                     40                                     2                                                                                                       Luckily, you can mimic some of these frosty beverages while also cutting down on the calories.

These flavorings will provide additional sweetness, so you may want to decrease the amount of artificial sweetener or sugar in the recipe."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
