Our office loves our coffee. We all are fans of Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks here at PulseTV. Whether it's iced drinks, blended drinks, hot drinks, or specialty drinks, they all come at a price and I'm not referring to your wallet. These drinks are all loaded with calories and sugar, most more than you know! A survey was done and below is a list of the 8 unhealthiest coffee drinks in America!
Some coffee drinks have more calories in them than a greasy burger and fries. At least when you are eating a burger and fries it is an attempt at a meal, whereas drinking one of these 8 drinks is just consuming empty calories!

1. Dunkin' Donuts Frozen Caramel Coffee Coolatta with Cream (Large-20 oz):

This drink contains 990 calories. That is usually around half of peoples normal expected daily consumption of calories. For that amount of calories, you could get a Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant, an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, and a Chocolate Frosted Sprinkled Donut. Even after eating all that, you'd still be consuming 60 calories less than this drink. It has around 3 cups of cream and sweetened condensed milk.

2. Starbucks Whole Milk White Chocolate Mocha with Whipped Cream (Venti-20 oz):

This drink contains 620 calories. That is the equivalent to seven of their chocolate croissants worth of sugar. While research does suggest that high-fat dairy can lower the risk of obesity, this is still not the best way to consume that dairy!

3. Caribou Breve with Whipped Cream (Large-20 oz):

This drink contains 650 calories. This company took a culinary creation and made it pretty much as unhealthy as possible. This drink repalces milk with steamed half and half, which will double the calories and fat than the original idea. As stated above, high-dairy diets can be linked to weight management, but that only works if you're consuming it in addition to a well balanced diet!

4. McDonald's McCafe Frappe Mocha, No Whip (Large-22 oz):

This drink contains 600 calories. This drink contains not only cream and sugar, but also polysorbate 80, which is also used as a hair growth stimulator in men. It also contains artificial Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, which have been shown to cause hyperactivity in kids! The calories in this drink are more than you'll find in 6 of McDonald's apple pies!

5. Au Bon Pain Coffee Blast (Large-24 oz):

This drink contains 690 calories. This drink is made with ice cream and coffee mix, which contains a group of ingredients including coffee extract. It has more carbs than 9 slices of Wonder Bread and more sugar than 7 of this bakery's apple and cinnamon croissants. Choose a different drink that contains actual coffee!

6. Peet's Milk Chocolate Almond Mocha with Whole Milk and Whipped Cream (Large-20 oz):

This drink contains 600 calories. This drink contains milky sweet chocolate, toasted almond syrup, and crushed Italian Amaretti cookies, which is the same amount of sugar as nearly 10 of the chain's oatmeal raisin cookies. It contains no fiber or protein, which slows down digestion. This drink has a high glycemic index as well. Basically, this is a drink that will add on the pounds, really quickly!

7. Krispy Kreme Lotta Latte Chiller (Small-12 oz):

This drink contains 670 calories in a small size! It contains ice, coffee, artificial sugar-based flavoring, and is topped with whipped cream. It contains as many calories as 14 of their doughnut holes! The large size in this drink is almost double the amount of calories! Imagine a drink that contains only those ingredients containing that much calories!

8. Tim Hortons Mocha Iced Capp with Cream (Medium-16 oz):

This drink contains 550 calories. It is a calorie and sugar filled beverage! It contains dangerous trans fats which have been linked to coronary disease and metabolic syndrome. This drink is not something you want to consume if you want to look your best in a swimsuit!

Any one of these drinks can be swapped out for a healthier, just as tasty, drinks. Ones that won't take up half your calorie count of the day!
