Iced coffee

[ghelen]

Does anyone have any idea what the nutrition info on a Mcdonalds ice coffee is??When I first started getting them, I didn't taste any sugar at all- but I just got one and it tasted very sweet so i didn't drink it. The info isn't on their website. I know there's caffeine in them so it's a very occasional treat. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I don't know - you could email McDonalds and ask them. I make my own! I use leftover coffee pour it over ice, add a little splenda and heavy cream. I'm not much of a sweets person but that cures the rare sweet craving for me. Make it yourself, then you'll know for sure!

In the canadian mcdonalds site they only list two, a vanilla one and a caramel one. Here is the ingredients for the vanilla:

Water, sugar, modified milk ingredients, coconut oil, corn syrup solids, instant coffee, cocoa, natural (vegetable source) and artificial flavour, carboxymethyl cellulose, silicon dioxide, dipotassium phosphate, salt, carrageenan, soy lecithin, soy mono- and diglycerides, sodium stearoyl lactylate, colour (annatto)

sugars list as 23g's: www.mcdonalds.ca

They could be different in the us, but any iced coffee sold at any coffee shop here is presweetened.

I would ask, and if they can't tell you if it has any sugars, then I wouldn't drink it

I make my own iced coffee by making a very strong 1/2 - 3/4 cup of coffee letting it cool, adding heavy cream and sweetener and ice cubes and throwing it in a blender

Yikes Sadie, Sugar is the 2nd ingredient! and then all sorts of other nasty stuff!

I thought it was interesting that a vanilla iced coffe has cocoa in it LOL.

That is weird isn't it? You never know what they're going to put in stuff anymore!

Thanks for the info- We have the vanilla and hazelnut, along with the regular in the US. I would bet alot of money that when i first started getting the regular ones they were sugar free-that's why alot of people didn't like them. So, now I'm wondering if they changed it. Maybe I should just start making my own- it's just nice to know of something you can grab when you're out on the road.

Yea, it is nice to be able to grab something when you're out. Too bad you can't trust the restaurants or fast food places very often - they always seem to sneak something bad into stuff.
