Below are the nutrition facts and calories in Wendy’s Frosty. Here you can review nutritional information for popular flavors such as Vanilla and Chocolate.

As a matter of fact, Vanilla and Chocolate frosties are the only ones available at this time. At one point, the chain also offered a Strawberry frosty, but apparently it didn’t perform well, so they took it off the menu a long time ago.

The Frosty, created by Wendy’s Founder Dave Thomas in 1969, and one of the original five products on the chain’s menu, is still one of the top 10 favorite desserts in the U.S.

But since it’s a cross between a milk shake and soft-serve ice cream, expect it to contain the same amount of calories as a regular milkshake.

Wendy’s Frosty is also available in several sizes such as Junior, Small, Medium, and Large. The smaller the size, the fewer the calories. So try to go with the Junior if you’re currently on a diet.

  1. Why are selling a small frosty for $1, and a medium for $2.59 and the sizes are less that an inch apart is size? They are nearly the same size. Cups are less than an inch larger for the medium.
