Total Sugars

One 12 ounce (360mL) serving of the Cool Blue drink contains 21 grams of total sugars, all of which are added sugars.

Added Sugars

The FDA recommends limiting calories from added sugars to less than 10% of total sugars. With that in mind, take note that one serving (12 ounces) is equal to about 42% of the total daily value.

Here is how to calculate the daily value:

2,000 calories per day x 10% added sugar limit = 200 calories
21 grams of added sugar x 4 calories per gram = 84 calories
84 calories is 42% of the 200 calorie limit

21 grams of added sugars per serving is high

Caffeine

There is no caffeine in Gatorade’s Cool Blue Thirst Quencher Drink.

If you’re interested in a drink with caffeine, try the brand’s Fast Twitch energy drink, which contains 200mg caffeine in each serving.
