When it comes to the nutritional information of your favorite coffee drink, you may be surprised.

NewsChannel5 Health team reporter Alicia Booth reported that some of the major coffee chains are now disclosing nutritional information.

For many, drinking coffee in the morning is a ritual, and very few think of the calories and fat that the drink contains.

"I think people think of beverages as kind of innocuous, and they don't really count towards calories," said Mary Beth Kavanagh, a registered dietician and coffee drinker.

After a lot of public pressure, Starbucks has finally posted nutrition information on its Web site.

Their large mocha coconut frapuccino contains 550 calories and 22 grams of fat.

According to Caribou Coffee's Web site, a large turtle mocha has 652 calories and 20 grams of fat.

Arabica does not post any nutritional information on its Web site. However, several of their drinks contain chocolate, whipped cream, sugar and whole milk, which are all known to contain fat and calories.

All three coffee chains do offer alternatives to high-fat coffee drinks. Arabica, for example, has low-calorie and low fat versions of every coffee drink if you ask for it.

Kavanagh said you do not have to give the coffee up, just cut down on the calories later in the day to make a little extra room.
