How to Make Healthy Creamer For Coffee
If you enjoy adding creamer to your coffee, it is essential that you choose an appropriate variety. Store-bought options often contain added sugars which can contribute to weight gain, diabetes and other health concerns. One way to sidestep these harmful ingredients is making homemade creamer for coffee yourself; it’s simple, affordable and delicious!
Coconut milk, dates, and vanilla extract make the ideal healthy coffee creamer – and taking only five minutes to create! It makes an easy alternative to store-bought options.
Make homemade coffee creamer with any nondairy milk of your choosing; however, for optimal results use canned coconut milk with full fat rather than low-fat version – adding this extra fat helps create an irresistibly creamy taste and aroma!
This recipe utilizes high-quality non-dairy milk as well as pure maple syrup for additional sweetness. Maple syrup is an ideal natural sweetener with a mild taste that pairs beautifully with coffee.
Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs), which have been shown to accelerate metabolism and help you burn fat more quickly. You could use other oils such as olive or sunflower for this recipe if available.
To reduce the sugar in this creamer, you can replace it with stevia or another low-sugar sweetener such as splenda. Additionally, adding essential oils may add an additional burst of flavor – this step is optional but makes your creamer unique and flavorful!
Dependent upon how often and what kind of coffee you drink, this recipe will produce approximately two cups of creamer – enough for about a week or two of coffee! Just ensure it stays sealed in an airtight container in the fridge!
If you’re following either THM:S or THM:E, feel free to switch out milk for almond milk. In addition, THM:E-friendly sweeteners like stevia or pure vanilla extract may be used instead of dates; or unsweetened almond milk combined with some sugar will provide more traditional creamer flavors.
