About Mcdonalds sprite
McDonald's Sprite is a carbonated lemon-lime-flavored soft drink from the popular Sprite brand, produced by The Coca-Cola Company. Originating in Germany in 1961, Sprite is now a globally recognized beverage enjoyed in many cuisines as a refreshing counterpart to meals. A standard medium serving (about 21 fl. oz) from McDonald’s contains approximately 210 calories, with all of its caloric content derived from added sugars (approximately 56 grams). It contains no fat, protein, or significant vitamins and minerals. Known for its higher-than-usual carbonation and flavor profile in McDonald's, this version of Sprite is often noted for being extra crisp and fizzy.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy through simple carbohydrates from added sugars (56g per medium serving).
- May aid hydration due to its high water content, though its sugar content can counteract effectiveness in excessive amounts.
- Offers a temporary refreshing sensation, which can enhance the dining experience, particularly with rich, savory meals.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Consume immediately after serving for maximum carbonation. Best served chilled over ice.
