ATLANTA -- Chick-Fil-A is expanding their menu this spring to include what they're calling a "Frosted Coffee."
It's a blend of the restaurant's famous Icedream -- an ice cream-like dairy treat -- and cold-brewed coffee. It will be available in restaurants nationwide beginning March 14. The Atlanta-based restaurant is launching the coffee creation after a successful launch of their 2015 Frosted Lemonade.
The "Frosted Coffee" is entering a crowded market of caffeinated frozen drinks dominated by coffee giants Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks.
11Alive decided to put similar drinks from the different brands side-by-side to compare nutrition and ingredients.
We compared Chick-Fil-A's "Frosted Coffee (14-oz)," Dunkin' Donuts' "Frozen Mocha Coffee Coolatta (16 oz)," and Starbucks' "Coffee Frappuccino Blended Coffee (16 oz)."
Compare these numbers to a typical black coffee that has about five calories and 5mg of sodium.
Chick- Fil-A's "Frosted Coffee" Ingredients
"Icedream (whole milk, sugar, nonfat dry milk, artificial flavor, corn starch, mono- & diglycerides, disodium phosphate, cellulose gum, carrageenan, sodium phosphate, guar gum, sodium citrate, beta carotene [color]), water, coffee."
Dunkin' Donuts' "Frozen Mocha Coffee Coolatta" Ingredients
