Okay, so the other day I was at Starbucks, and I saw those cake pops. They’re so cute and tempting, right? I grabbed one, thinking it’s just a small treat. But then, my brain started buzzing – how many calories are actually in this thing?
I’m not a calorie-counting fanatic, but I do like to be somewhat aware of what I’m eating. So, I pulled out my phone right there in the store.
My Mini-Investigation
First, I tried to find the info on the Starbucks app. I figured it would be listed with the other food items. I went through menu and searched for the cake pops there.
- I browsed through the bakery section.
- No luck! It wasn’t super obvious.
Next, I decided to go simple and just Googled “Starbucks cake pop calories.”
Boom! A bunch of results popped up. I saw a few different numbers, some from Starbucks itself and some from other nutrition websites. It seemed like the numbers varied a little bit depending on the flavor, which makes sense.
I dug a bit deeper and It looked like most of the cake pops were in the range of 150-180 calories. Some were a bit lower, around 140, and a few specialty ones might be closer to 200.
The Verdict
So, there you have it. Not as innocent as they look, but also not a total diet-buster if you just have one. I enjoyed my cake pop, knowing roughly what I was getting myself into, haha! The whole process just showed me that it’s good to be curious and take a few minutes to look things up.
It just became one of my habits.
