The summer season is finally upon us and coffee lovers are turning more and more towards their favourite icy beverage: the iced cappuccino.

Capuccino glacé

Great taste and good for your health?

Among the many choices of frozen cappuccinos on the market, commercial iced coffees remain a must. Indulgent and sweet, they have carved a place in the hearts of consumers but what’s the impact on their health?

After a study was conducted on the show l’Épicerie*, Geneviève O’Gleman, affirms that a commercial iced cappuccino contains about 16 sugar packets, which amounts to a quarter of our total recommended daily calorie intake. Therefore it’s safe to say that they are among the top products that are highest in fat.

In addition, the vast majority of cafes do not offer options for vegans. Even for people intolerant to lactose so who would like to enjoy this frozen drink.
