Total Calories by Size
Here is a quick summary of the total calories in a PB Cup Blizzard, by size.
Total Fat
A Small-sized Blizzard blended with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces has 23 grams of total fat, including 12 grams saturated fat.
That is considered high. The amount of saturated fat in the small PB Cup Blizzard has a daily value of 60% (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
SUMMARY OF DIETARY FAT PER SERVING
General nutrition guidelines recommended by the U.S. FDA suggest limiting calories from saturated fat to no more than 10% of total calories.
With that in mind, take note that a Small Blizzard has about 110 calories from saturated fat (18% of the total 570 calories per serving).
Total Sugars
One serving of the Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard has 68 grams of total sugars, which includes both natural sugars and added sugars.
Added Sugars
Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting calories from added sugars to no more than ten percent of total calories.
As you can see from the list of ingredients below, sugar is one of the top ingredients in both the ice cream and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces.
So, although DQ doesn’t breakout added sugars from the total, it’s clear there is a significant amount of added sugars in the treat.\
