1 bottle (medium) of Ready-to-drink unsweetened iced coffee (250 g) has 3 calories. That works out to 1 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.5 g of carbs, 0.4 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of B2 covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 5 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Ready-to-drink unsweetened iced coffee is chilled coffee sold in a bottle or can, ready to drink without adding sugar. It has the roasted, slightly bitter character of coffee and is usually lighter in body than a milk-based iced coffee.
It is served cold, often over ice, as a quick morning drink or an afternoon pick-me-up, especially in warm weather. With virtually no calories and no added sugar, it suits those looking for a simple caffeinated drink rather than a sweet café-style beverage. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a softer taste, or drink it plain to keep the coffee flavour front and centre.

Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

The caffeine content varies by brand, recipe and bottle size, so there is no reliable amount for every ready-to-drink unsweetened iced coffee. Check the package if you need to track your intake, and count other caffeinated drinks too.
Yes, ready-to-drink unsweetened iced coffee breaks a fasting window because it is a beverage you consume, even without added sugar. For a religious fast, follow the rules of that fast; during Ramadan, drinking it during daylight hours breaks the fast.
Yes, its caffeine can make it harder to fall asleep or reduce sleep quality, especially when you drink it later in the day. If you are sensitive to caffeine, choose a caffeine-free drink or have this coffee earlier.
It can fit within a pregnancy caffeine limit, but the amount of caffeine varies between products and contributes to your daily total. Check the bottle’s caffeine information and follow your maternity care team’s advice.
Yes, you can drink it before exercise if you tolerate caffeine well. It does not replace water, and caffeine may cause jitters or stomach discomfort in some people, so try it well before an important workout.
Keep it refrigerated after opening and follow the product’s storage instructions for how soon to finish it. Do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods; versions containing milk are particularly perishable once opened.
Yes, pour it into a mug and warm it if you prefer hot coffee. Do not heat a sealed bottle, and expect a milk-based version to taste or feel different when warmed.
Yes, you can freeze it in an ice-cube tray and use the cubes in coffee instead of regular ice. A milk-containing version may separate or become grainy after thawing, so freezing works best for adding cubes directly to a drink.
Yes, blend it with ingredients such as banana, oats or milk for a coffee-flavoured smoothie. The coffee adds caffeine, so remember that the smoothie is not a caffeine-free snack.
Not necessarily. Cold brew describes coffee steeped in cold water, while ready-to-drink unsweetened iced coffee describes a packaged, ready-to-serve product; it may be made using a different brewing method.
