Do you enjoy McDonald’s iced coffee? Do you find it’s an inexpensive treat in which to indulge? Before your next coffee, you might want to read some interesting information about the ingredients in a McDonald’s iced coffee. Rachel from Small Notebook gives us some food for thought.
I’ve been working on a recipe to make my own iced coffee and frappuccinos at home. Reading this article is a good reminder of the preservatives and chemicals in the food we eat. It seems almost impossible to get away from it.
Do you drink McDonald’s iced coffee?

I think McDonald’s coffee (iced and regular) taste terrible! They’re definitely not worth the $$$. The last cappuccino I at McDonalds was only about half full after the foam settled. It was only gone in a couple swallows, and it was supposed to be a medium. I agree, I can make much better at home, for way less money.
I tried McDonald’s iced coffee, and I’ll never buy another…TERRIBLE!
I am big into frappachino, but I make my own easy version.
Super simple, set the coffeemaker for 2 servings, when it’s brewed, add in approx. one tablespoon of cocoa powder, and about 3/4 cup of sugar. Stir it up to dissolve, then pour it into half a gallon of milk. Serve with ice! YUM!!!
I love McDonald’s vanilla sugar free iced coffee and have one at least once and sometimes twice a week. How many calories are in a medium drink?
My iced coffee recipe
cooled leftover morning coffee
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
coffee ice cubes (freeze leftover coffee in ice cube tray)
Put in a shaker cup and enjoy!
1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (Sam’s or Costco) is 130 calories and 23 grams of protein.
Wow! I read the ingredients. I will never understand why it is necessary to put chemicals into everything. I don’t drink McD’s coffee’s anyway because I only drink decaf, but this is good info to have. Let’s just make our own at home. It can’t be that hard…can it??
