Füll+ Iced Coffee - On the Go Meal
Füll+ Iced Coffee - On the Go Meal: independently scored 9.1/10 on Protein Score and 7.6/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
35g protein per serve · 398 cal · 32g sugar · 207mg sodium · 479.5mL serve.
Overview
This is a meal-sized drink, not a light snack, and the numbers show it. With 33 ingredients, it uses more than double the typical number for a protein drink we track, leaning on a complex formula to deliver its nutritional payload and stay smooth. The headline trade-off is the sugar. While there's no added sugar, the 32.2 grams of naturally occurring lactose in every bottle is significant. At 6.7g per 100mL, it's well above the 4g category average for protein drinks, pushing it closer to standard flavoured milk territory on that one metric. This Iced Coffee flavour sits alongside a Chocolate version in the brand's lineup, both sharing an identical protein and sugar profile. It tells us the core formula is the focus here, with flavour being the final twist. We see this as a sign of consistency; if you like one, you'll likely get the same outcome from the other. Ultimately, this is a product of convenience. It's for the person who needs a big protein dose without the shaker, and who is willing to accept the long ingredient list and high milk-sugar content to get it. You'll find it in the fridge section, so it's a grab-and-go solution rather than a pantry-stocker.
Protein Score: 9.1/10
Füll+ positions its drinks as meal-sized serves, and the protein numbers back that up. The 35g of protein in this 480mL bottle is substantial for a ready-to-drink format, earning a Protein Score/10. It lands right on the category average for protein drinks we've analysed. That 7.3g of protein per 100mL is more than double the 3-4g you'd find in a standard supermarket iced coffee, making it a genuinely protein-dense option. The protein source is milk protein concentrate, a reliable dairy source that contributes to the creamy texture and significant protein load. The protein hit comes as part of a 398-calorie package, which is what makes it feel more like a liquid meal than a simple drink. For someone needing to replace a missed meal with a protein-heavy alternative, it fits the brief. It's less suited as a light snack between meals.
Clean Score: 7.6/10
What's behind the taste and texture in a drink this smooth? The answer is a lengthy ingredient list, which informs its Clean Score/10. With 33 ingredients, it uses more than double the typical number for the ready-to-drink category. Six of those are additives, including stabilisers like carrageenan to prevent separation and create a consistent mouthfeel. It also uses two artificial sweeteners, acesulfame potassium and sucralose, to deliver sweetness without adding to the already high natural sugar content from milk. This places the product firmly at the more processed end of the spectrum, trailing the field for ingredient simplicity. It's the trade-off for getting a fortified, shelf-stable, and consistent product. Shoppers preferring a shorter, more natural ingredient list will likely find it too complex.

Frequently asked questions
- How much sugar is in one whole bottle?
- A single 480mL bottle of Füll+ Iced Coffee contains 32.2 grams of sugar. It is important to note that this is not added sugar; it is lactose, which is naturally present in the reconstituted skim milk and milk protein concentrate that form the base of the drink. Even so, it's a significant amount of sugar in one serve. We think it frames the drink as more of a complete meal than a light snack.
- Is this a good drink for after a workout?
- Yes, with 35 grams of protein per bottle, it offers a substantial dose for post-exercise recovery. The protein comes from milk protein concentrate, a quality dairy source. The carbohydrate content from the milk sugars can also help replenish energy stores. Its convenience as a ready-to-drink format makes it a practical option when you don't have a shaker handy. We'd consider it a solid choice if the high sugar content fits your daily goals.
- Where can I buy Füll+ Iced Coffee?
- This Füll+ drink is catalogued in the chilled beverage aisle at Coles supermarkets. As it is a refrigerated product, you will find it in the fridges alongside other flavoured milks and ready-to-drink beverages, not on the long-life UHT shelves. Availability can vary by store location, and it may also be available direct from the brand's website. We recommend checking with your local store.
- Does this iced coffee drink contain caffeine?
- Yes, it contains caffeine from real coffee powders. The ingredient list specifies both Robusta and Arabica coffee powders, included at a concentration of 0.7%. While the exact caffeine amount is not disclosed on the pack, you should expect a mild stimulant effect similar to a standard instant coffee. We wouldn't recommend it late in the evening if you are sensitive to caffeine.
- Is the sugar in this drink added sugar?
- No, the 32.2 grams of sugar per bottle are not added sugars like cane sugar or glucose syrup. The sugar content comes naturally from lactose found in the milk ingredients. To achieve a sweet coffee flavour without adding more sugar, the product uses artificial sweeteners (acesulfame potassium and sucralose). This is a key distinction for shoppers tracking added sugars specifically, but the total sugar amount remains high.
