We’re in the midst of peak iced coffee season. But if you ask us, the beverage of choice is cold brew. It just hits different on a sweltering summer day. But like most products, there’s an overwhelming array of options available in delis, grocery stores, and specialty shops. If you’re health-conscious, you want to steer clear of the cappuccinos, mochas, and vanilla lattes. Many of these beverages contain just as much, if not more, sugar than soda. For example, Starbucks’ Salted Dark Chocolate Frappuccino Crafted With Cold Brew contains 43 grams of sugar per bottle, that’s more than double the sugar in a Snickers candy bar!

Our suggestion: Stick to black coffee cold brew with no added sugar or other ingredients. That way you still get the flavor of the coffee without all the added calories, sugar, and fat. As the name suggests, cold brew is brewed cold (never heated), sometimes taking up to 24 hours, resulting in a more concentrated, bold, and smooth product. Some are even infused with nitrogen to produce a silky texture and creamy head. And because it’s less acidic than normal coffee, you don’t need milk or sugar to make it more palatable. Best of all, canned and bottled cold brew is now ready available outside of coffee shops. Here are the healthiest ones you can buy.
