Dietary Fat

Wendy’s Medium Frosty is about twice the size of the Jr. Frosty. One medium-sized treat contains 11 grams total fat, including 7 grams saturated fat.

That amount of saturated fat is high. The FDA suggests that a nutrient with a 20% or greater daily value per serving is considered high.

In this instance, the saturated fat has a 35% DV per serving.

Total Sugars

One serving of the medium vanilla flavored frosty has 53 grams of total sugars, including both natural sugars as well as sugars added when making the frosty.

Added Sugars

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which manages the MyPlate nutritional guidance program for healthy eating, recommends consuming less Added Sugars.

In fact, the general guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services is for Americans to consume fewer than 10% of total calories from added sugars.

Sugar and Corn Syrup are two of the top three ingredients in Wendy’s Frosty. So, even though the restaurant does not break out the Added Sugars on the nutrition facts label, it’s clear that added sugars are a dominant part of the recipe.

The vanilla frosty is used as the base for the classic chocolate frosty, peppermint frosty, and triple berry frosty.
