Calories and Nutrition Facts
Calories
One serving of the mini Blizzard contains 350 calories. There are 610 Calories in a small, 800 Calories in a medium, and 1,060 Calories in a large.
Composition of Calories
The following analysis of the macronutrients (fat, carbs, protein) are based on a medium-sized Blizzard made with Snickers candy pieces. Approximately 60% of the total calories are derived from carbohydrates. Fat makes up 31% and the remaining 9% is from protein.
- Carbs: 480 calories

- Protein: 70 calories
- Total: 800 calories
The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label sourced from the restaurant. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how it’s prepared, or due to topping choices.
Fat
The 28 grams of total fat in one serving (medium-sized) includes 15 grams of saturated fat. Please pay attention to this nutrition fact. At that quantity, one medium Snickers Blizzard contains 75% of the recommended daily limit for an individual who consumes 2,000 calories in a day.
Total Sugars
In addition to the fat (and saturated fat), it’s worth taking note of the total sugars in this sweet treat. One medium cup has 102 grams of sugar. Unfortunately, we don’t have a breakout of the added sugars (vs natural sugars).
However, considering sugar is the one of the top ingredients in both the reduced fat ice cream and the chocolate topping, one could assume the vast majority is added sugars. For context, the FDA recommends limiting the amount of Added Sugars to 50 grams per day.
With that in mind, consuming one medium Blizzard would exceed the recommended limit of sugars for an entire day.
