\"Blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.99 each
\nSize:<\/b> Half gallon
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Safeway
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Creamy and easy to drink. Not overly sweet like other cartoned iced coffee…I’m looking at you International Delight! Vanilla version tastes marshmallowy. Good source of vitamin E. Contains caffeine. 100 calories per serving. Dairy, soy, and gluten free. Made with non-GMO almonds.
\nCons:<\/b> The coffee flavor barely registers on my tongue, even though they have a strong coffee aroma. Mocha version tastes too much like chocolate almond milk. The carton (and Blue Diamond’s website) doesn’t say how much caffeine a serving has, so let’s make up a number until we get the real number…let’s say 6832 milligrams of caffeine. Could use more calcium and vitamin D.<\/p>\n
