'[Jimmy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmys-x-myprotein-iced-coffee)' is producing a lightly sweetened iced coffee beverage that offers a healthy alternative to other pre-packaged drinks. Traditional iced coffee is brewed at a higher strength than normal coffee in order to combat the dilution caused by the addition of ice. As a result of this process, many consumers prefer to add sweetener to their iced coffee beverages.

Jimmy's provides a way for consumers to enjoy sweet coffee drinks without the extra calories. 'The Skinny' is a bottled iced coffee that is lightly sweetened with demerara sugar. Each bottle only contains 118 calories, making it a [healthy alternative to other iced coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caff-latte-zero). Not only is The Skinny a more nutritious choice, but it also comes in a [ready-to-drink package](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-range) that makes it easy to grab on the go.

Jimmy's lightly sweetened beverage demonstrates that consumers are looking for a healthy iced coffee that does not sacrifice taste.
