ICELANDIC COLD BREW COFFEE — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates ICELANDIC COLD BREW COFFEE by Icelandic Provisions, Inc. TREAT — score 45/90.

This is basically strained whole-milk skyr sweetened with cane sugar and flavored with real cold brew coffee, thickened with two plant gums. It's a high-protein dairy snack with a genuinely short, recognizable list. The only knock is that cane sugar sits second, so it's an indulgent treat rather than an everyday plain yogurt.

Why this verdict

• Base is whole milk skyr — a legitimate high-protein cultured dairy, not a filler
• Cane sugar is the second ingredient, so it's a sweetened dessert-style yogurt
• Real cold brew coffee provides the flavor rather than synthetic coffee flavoring
• Only two additives, and both (pectin, carob bean gum) are simple plant-derived thickeners
• Five total ingredients with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
