![]() If this was my first taste of a coffee ice cream I might be OK with this, but I’ve had at least two others that are much, much tastier and creamier (Talenti’s Coffee Chocolate Chip and Three Sister’s Milk Coffee). After around ~20 minutes of waiting for it to melt, I finally got one spoonful of something I’d consider partially creamy. I even tried to break up the cream into tiny pieces with my spoon to facilitate the melting process, but that was only partially effective. Unfortunately, eating this ice cream right out of the freezer, or even 5-10 minute later, gives an unappetizing rough, icy texture. If you’ve read my other ice cream reviews, you’ll know I am a big fan of creamy texture (heck, who isn’t?). ![]() I’ve eaten most of a carton of this product in several sittings, but each time I just can’t get past the odd texture. Add to that a little bit of coconut water and a load of different vitamins and you have a very well-rounded drink. This product succeeds in its goal: making a product with low calories (70), low sugar, and a reasonably good taste. Ratings: Flavor: 7.0 Nutrition/Ingredients: 8.5 Price: 9.0 Overall: 8.2 I got this for only $1.99 at Whole Foods Market. Ingredients: Brewed Coffee (water, coffee solids, coffee extract, reduced fat milk, coconut water concentrate, erythritol, dried cane syrup, sodium phosphate, carrageenan, sodium bicarbonate, natural flavor, ascorbic acid, stevia rebaudiana leaf extract, di-alphatocopheryl acetate, calcium, d-pantothenate, niacinamide, vitamin a palmitate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanocobalamin. There are divided opinions on how healthy adding vitamins are, but for those who believe they are beneficial, this drink is a good supply of them. There is 25% of the following vitamins in this product: Vitamin A, Niacin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Panthothenic Acid. ![]() The crypticly named ingredients at the end of the ingredient list are all vitamins. It may even have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory benefits. Though there have been some controversies regarding this additive, it seems that currently there are no major known health concerns with it. ![]() Stevia is also used as a (nearly) zero-calorie sweetener. When compared to a similar Starbucks drink, this one has less than half the calories and sugar, even if you include the sugar alcohol, erythritol. There is also 9 grams of sugars and 5 of sugar alcohol. In one bottle (281 ml), there is 70 calories, 10 from fat. To be honest, the Starbucks drink tastes better, but for the lower calories and sugar (see next section) the minor compromise in flavor is worth it. To me this is a good thing since I’m not too fond of it’s taste. The sweetness is quite subdued, no surprise considering the relatively small amount of sugar.Īlthough 20% of this drink is coconut water, there is little to no taste of it. The flavor is very reminiscent of Starbucks Frappuccino beverage, with a strong milk flavor over a light coffee taste. And for those who have anxiety or insomnia, it could worsen their symptoms.I was looking for a sweet coffee drink and this seemed to be different than the usual bunch, so I thought I would try it.

And for many people a "cup" of coffee ranges from 12 to 20 ounces. An eight-ounce cup of Death Wish has 472 milligrams. The Food and Drug Administration says 600 milligrams a day is too much. That's two to four eight-ounce cups of most coffees. Dietary Guidelines, 400 milligrams of caffeine a day can be part of a healthy diet for most adults. But the key word here is moderation.Īccording to the recent U.S. ![]() The consensus from the latest studies is that moderate amounts of caffeine don't raise the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, or other ills. ![]()
