About Slurpee

A Slurpee is a frozen beverage that originated from the United States and is closely associated with convenience stores, particularly 7-Eleven, where it was introduced in the 1960s. Known for its sweet, icy texture and wide variety of flavors, a Slurpee is made by combining flavored syrup with finely crushed ice. Its nutritional profile highlights it as a high-carbohydrate treat with approximately 40-45 calories per serving (around 8 ounces), containing 11.25 grams of carbohydrates and no protein, fats, fiber, or significant micronutrients like vitamins or minerals. It is predominantly a source of quick energy derived from simple sugars, making it a sugary indulgence rather than a nutritionally dense option.

Health Benefits

• Provides a quick source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content (11.25g per 8-ounce serving).

• Quickly replenishes blood sugar levels in situations requiring an energy boost, such as after rigorous physical activity.

Common Questions About Slurpee Nutrition

How many calories are in a Slurpee?

A standard 8-ounce serving of a Slurpee contains approximately 40 calories. It has 11.25 grams of carbohydrates, most of which come from 10 grams of sugar, and no protein, fat, or fiber.

Can I have a Slurpee on a keto diet?

A Slurpee is not keto-friendly due to its high sugar content and lack of fats or proteins. With 11.25 grams of carbs per 8-ounce serving, it can quickly exceed the daily carb limit for most keto diets, which typically restrict carbs to 20–50 grams per day.

Are there any health concerns with drinking Slurpees?

Slurpees are high in added sugars, with 10 grams per 8-ounce serving, which can contribute to weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and other health concerns if consumed in excess. They provide minimal nutritional value, as they contain no protein, fiber, or essential vitamins and minerals.

What is a reasonable portion size for a Slurpee?

An 8-ounce Slurpee can be considered a reasonable portion size, especially if you are trying to limit sugar intake. Larger serving sizes, such as 16 or 24 ounces, drastically increase the sugar and calorie content, making moderation key.

How does a Slurpee compare to other frozen drinks?

Compared to other frozen drinks like milkshakes or frappes, Slurpees are lower in calories and fat because they lack cream or dairy. However, they are relatively high in sugar, comparable to most sodas or other sweetened beverages.
