Tag: Healthy slushie alternatives

With a large Slurpee packing up to 134 grams of sugar, it’s no wonder many people ask, “Why do slushies have so many calories?” The shocking reality is tied directly to the sheer amount of sweetener used to create that frosty texture and sweet flavor.

According to a study reported by WFLX, a 16-ounce Pepsi-flavored Slurpee has approximately 110 calories, significantly less than a regular 16-ounce Pepsi, which contains about 200 calories. While this may seem like a lower-calorie option, the key question remains: are slushies high in calories overall, and what makes up their nutritional profile?
