11 Sugary Beverages With More Calories Than Cola

Arizona Raspberry Iced Tea

These recognizable-anywhere cans are bad news: They contain 23.5 ounces, nearly three times the suggested serving size for the tea inside. With 90 calories per 8 ounces, finishing an entire can adds up to almost 270.

Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino

The 9.5-ounce Starbucks to go contains 180 calories.

Jamba Juice Smoothies

Granted, Jamba Juice All Fruit smoothies are made with much better-for-you ingredients than a can of cola. However, it's still easy to mindlessly sip your calories when a 16-ounce size clocks in at least 210 calories.

Minute Maid Lemonade

A 12-ounce can of the summer favorite clocks in at 150 calories, more than a can of Coke and the same as a can of Pepsi.

Snapple Apple Fruit Drink

There are 100 calories in every 8 ounces of this fruity pick, but the bottle is deceiving, since it packs 16 ounces.

Sunkist Orange Soda

There are 170 calories per 12-ounce can of this sweet drink.

Dr. Pepper

A 12-ounce can clocks in at 150 calories, more than a can of Coke and the same as a can of Pepsi.

Dunkin' Donuts Strawberry Coolatta

Even the small size of this frozen concoction from the coffee chain is a diet danger, with 230 calories in 16 ounces.

Monster Energy Drink

There are only 100 calories in 8 ounces of this pick-me-up, but who only drinks half a can? The whole thing will set you back 200 calories.

Nesquik Lowfat Chocolate Milk

An 8-ounce bottle of this sweet sip adds up to 170 calories. Beware of larger sizes that encourage bigger portions.

Barq's Root Beer

Each 12-ounce can contains 160 calories.
