What to know about Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake Oat Beverage

A cold coffee shake with 0.7% coffee

Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake is a 165 ml carton of oat drink: water, oats (8%), sugar, sunflower oil and instant coffee powder (0.7%), with added vitamins and minerals, acidity regulators, natural flavours, salt, an emulsifier, two stabilizers and citrus peel extract. It is sold as a vegan, lactose-free answer to a bottled milk shake.

A glass of 165 ml has about 122 kcal, 1.7 g protein, 10.5 g added sugar and 78 mg sodium. Per 100 ml that is 74 kcal, 1.02 g protein, 6.36 g added sugar and 0.25 g saturated fat. Calcium is 143 mg per 100 ml, about 237 mg in a glass, from added minerals.

The name promises a cold coffee, but coffee is the smallest named ingredient at 0.7%, behind sugar and sunflower oil. The vitamin and calcium claims are real. The carrageenan and three phosphate additives cost ingredient points. CleanPlate scores it [F][L]CC3.

Does Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake Oat Beverage live up to its claims?

The vitamin and calcium claims hold. Cold Coffee Shake does not: coffee is only 0.7% of the drink. Guilt free is framed more kindly than the 10.5 g added sugar per glass.

  • Product name

    “Cold Coffee Shake”

    Misleading

    Instant coffee powder is only 0.7% of the drink, behind sugar and sunflower oil. A real ingredient under 2% is what sets the [L] flag.

  • On the pack

    “Vitamin D, B1, B2 & B12”

    Holds

    The list shows added vitamins D, B1, B2 and B12, and the panel declares them: 1.2 mcg vitamin D and 0.3 mcg B12 per 100 ml.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Calcium”

    Holds

    143 mg calcium per 100 ml, about 237 mg in a 165 ml glass. It comes from added minerals, not from the oats.

  • On the pack

    “Guilt free”

    Be careful

    The drink is cholesterol free and has no trans fat, but it carries 6.36 g added sugar per 100 ml, about 10.5 g in a glass.

  • Retail listing

    “Energy and calcium figures”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows 70.52 kcal and 199 mg calcium per 100 ml, the pack shows 74.17 kcal and 143 mg. The pack figures are used.

Why Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake Oat Beverage scores [L][F]CC3

Nutrition is a C only because of added vitamins and minerals; without them it would be an E. Ingredients are a C, and risk is a 3, driven by 6.36 g added sugar per 100 ml.

Energy

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 1.02 g per 100 ml and fibre 0.4 g, so the core nutrition earns no credit. Oats are the main protein source at 8% of the drink.

The grade comes from the added vitamins and minerals: D, B1, B2, B12, calcium and iron. Without that fortification the grade would fall to an E.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C

Water, oats and sugar lead the list, followed by sunflower oil. Carrageenan (407) costs the most ingredient points. The three phosphate acidity regulators, calcium carbonate, gellan gum, lecithin and the natural flavouring each cost a little more.

The coffee in the name is only 0.7% of the drink. A real ingredient under 2% in a product named for it costs label points and sets the [L] flag.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 3

Added sugar is the biggest driver: 6.36 g per 100 ml, about 10.5 g in a 165 ml glass. It makes up most of the risk number, which lands on a 3.

Energy (74 kcal per 100 ml), sodium (47 mg) and saturated fat (0.25 g) add little. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

What's in Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake Oat Beverage?

Water, oats and sugar lead the list, with sunflower oil and a very small amount of coffee. Watch the added sugar, the carrageenan and the phosphates.

The ingredient list, read for you

Water, oats (8%) and sugar come first, so this is a thin, sweetened oat base. Sunflower oil gives body, and instant coffee powder (0.7%) is the flavour, in a small amount.

Vitamins and minerals are added. Acidity regulators, an emulsifier (lecithin) and two stabilizers (gellan gum and carrageenan) hold the drink together, and the label also lists natural flavours, Himalayan pink salt and citrus peel extract.

Ingredients to watch

  • Coffee at 0.7%Concern

    The named flavour is the smallest main ingredient, behind sugar and sunflower oil. It is the reason for the [L] flag.

  • Added sugarConcern

    6.36 g per 100 ml, about 10.5 g in a 165 ml glass. It drives most of the risk number.

  • Carrageenan (407)Worth watching

    A stabilizer that costs the most ingredient points of any additive here.

  • Phosphates (339, 340, 341)Worth watching

    Three phosphate acidity regulators are listed, and each costs ingredient points.

  • Fortified vitamins and mineralsWorth watching

    Calcium, iron, D, B1, B2 and B12 are added. Real, but without them nutrition would grade an E.

  • Sodium and saturated fatFine

    47 mg sodium and 0.25 g saturated fat per 100 ml, with 0 g trans fat.

What it doesn’t have

  • Very little protein or fibre: 1.02 g and 0.4 g per 100 ml.
  • No coffee to speak of for a drink named after it.

Who should eat Only Earth Cold Coffee Shake Oat Beverage?

A few times a week at most for adults, and occasionally for children, since the drink contains coffee and added sugar.

  • Most adultsA few times a week

    About 10.5 g added sugar and 122 kcal per glass.

  • ChildrenOccasionally

    Contains coffee and about 10.5 g added sugar per glass.

  • Heart healthA few times a week

    Saturated fat is only 0.25 g per 100 ml, but added sugar is 6.36 g.

  • Lactose intoleranceA few times a week

    Lactose free and dairy free, but the added sugar limits how often.
