Dairy Queen Blizzards come in four sizes: Mini (about 6 oz), Small (12 oz), Medium (16 oz) and Large (20 oz). An Oreo Blizzard costs about $3.49 for a Mini and $5.99 for a Large, so the Large is the best value per ounce. Below are the sizes with prices, calories and which one to order.
Blizzard size chart
| Size | Ounces | Price (Oreo) | Price per oz | Calories (Oreo) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 6 oz | $3.49 | $0.58 | ~300 | A dessert after a meal, or trying a new flavor |
| Small | 12 oz | $4.49 | $0.37 | 420 | The everyday size for one person |
| Medium | 16 oz | $5.49 | $0.34 | 590 | A big dessert for one, or two people sharing |
| Large | 20 oz | $5.99 | $0.30 | 920 | Sharing, or the best value per ounce |
Ounces are approximate; Blizzards are served by cup size, not weighed. Prices are typical U.S. prices for the Oreo Blizzard and vary by location. Last checked October 2026.
Which size is the best value?
The Large costs about 30 cents per ounce, roughly half the per-ounce price of a Mini (about 58 cents). Going from a Small to a Medium adds 4 ounces for about $1, and from a Medium to a Large adds another 4 ounces for about 50 cents. If you are sharing, one Large is cheaper than two Minis and holds more.
The Mini wins on calories instead. At about 300 calories for an Oreo, it has roughly a third of the calories of a Large (about 920). See more lighter options on our healthiest Dairy Queen menu page.

How Blizzard sizes compare with a McFlurry and Frosty
A McDonald’s McFlurry comes in fewer sizes than a Blizzard: the regular McFlurry is about the size of a Small Blizzard (12 oz), and some stores add a snack size. Wendy’s Frosty comes in Junior, Small, Medium and Large but has no mix-ins. We compare price, calories and taste in Blizzard vs. McFlurry vs. Frosty.
Tips for choosing a size
- Trying a new or seasonal flavor? Get a Mini. If you love it, the next one can be bigger.
- Sharing with one person? A Medium is enough for two after a meal.
- Feeding a group? A 10-inch Oreo Blizzard cake (from about $38.74) serves 12 to 16, which is easier than ordering six Large Blizzards.
- Want more crunch? Ask for extra mix-ins on any size for a small charge.
