If you love visiting Sonic Drive-In then you will all be too familiar with their selection of slushes. However, let’s face it – when it comes to sugar content slushes may not be the most sugar friendly items on the menu. So, how can you order the lowest sugar slushes possible from Sonic? In this post, I tell you everything you need to know to order slushes at Sonic with sugar free syrup.
How To Order Lower Sugar Slushes at Sonic
As a general rule, the best way to reduce the sugar content of a slush at Sonic is to:
- order a small lemonade or strawberry slush; and
- add sugar free syrup

Can I Order Sugar-Free Slushes at Sonic?
It goes without saying that the slushes at Sonic aren’t exactly low in sugar, and there is no way of ordering a sugar-free slush at Sonic. This is because the slush base contains sugar – you can read more about it in this post I wrote – Are There Sugar-Free Drinks and Slushes at Sonic?
For example, a plain small slush at Sonic before any syrups or toppings are added contains 48g of sugar. A plain large slush contains 103g of sugar. Adding chocolate add-ins and caramel topping to a large slush will total 185g of sugar.
So, if you really want a slush at Sonic but don’t want to get silly in the sugar department there are three ways to limit the sugar content of your slush. These are:
- order a small size
- only add sugar free syrups
- only add the real fruit toppings
