Panda Express Coca Cola

Coca Cola is the default fountain drink at Panda Express: $2.20 for a small, 370 calories and 100 g of sugar in the published serving. It is the most ordered beverage in the store and the one that quietly adds the most to a meal total.

The drink needs no description, which is exactly why it is worth pricing in calories. That 370 calorie figure is more than a serving of Broccoli Beef at 150 calories and nearly three times Super Greens at 130. Ordering it alongside a carefully chosen light bowl undoes most of the choosing.

Fountain sizes run $2.20 for a small through to larger cups, with medium the size included in the bundle formats. The zero calorie alternative sits on the same machine at the same price: Coca Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke both carry zero calories and zero sugar, which makes swapping the single cheapest calorie cut available anywhere in the store.

It suits the days a meal is already a treat, and it pairs with the sweeter entrees the way it always has. If you are tracking anything, order it as the exception rather than the default. The nutrition calculator counts drinks alongside food, which is the honest way to see what a cup adds. The full lineup is on the Panda Express drinks menu.
