Calories

There are 370 Calories in a mini size, 630 Calories in a small, 800 Calories in a medium, and 1,100 Calories in a large.

Let’s do a quick review of the calories by macronutrient (fat, carbs, and protein). The following detail is based on a size medium Blizzard.

Carbohydrates contribute approximately 62% of the total calories. Fat delivers 30% of the total calories, and the remaining 8% is from protein.

• Carbs: 495 calories
• Fat: 240 calories
• Protein: 65 calories
• Total: 800 calories in a size medium

Saturated Fat

In my opinion, the amount of total fat in a medium serving of the M&M’s Blizzard is significant. The 27 grams of fat exceed 40% of the FDA recommended daily limit for an individual consuming 2,000 calories per day.

We believe the type of fat consumed matters. So please notice that the 27 grams of total fat includes 17 grams of saturated fat. One serving is 85% of the daily value. Wow.

M&M’s® Blizzard® Nutrition Facts by Size

Here is a simple table that summarizes the nutrition facts in the DQ Blizzard made with M&M’s, based on the size ordered. As you can see, there is a significant increase in the total calories as the size of the treat increases. Total calories in a large Blizzard is three times the amount of calories in a mini.
