What is Healthy Coffee Creamer?
Start your day right by opting for healthier creamers – without added sugars and unhealthy fats – when making coffee your daily wakeup call. Not only can these options offer delicious flavors but are free from added sugars.
Anna Seigel, RD of Nashville-based Eat Right Works advises it is crucial to read the label of any creamer you purchase, to make sure it supports your health goals. She suggests opting for nondairy creamers that contain no added sugars, low saturated fat levels and minimal additives while dairy creamers made with grass-fed milk may provide added nutrition while offering reduced saturated fat levels.
Conventional creamers often contain added sugars, unhealthy saturated fats and other ingredients which may contribute to obesity, heart disease and high cholesterol. Consuming large quantities can contribute to weight gain which sabotages efforts at reaching desired bodyweight goals and promote long-term health problems such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Along with avoiding unhealthy ingredients, it’s also important to keep in mind that nutritional labels typically apply only to single tablespoon servings of creamers containing flavorings; most contain approximately 5 grams of added sugars in each tablespoon serving, which could easily add up and exceed the daily recommended allowance of added sugars over time.
Chobani nondairy creamers provide delicious options that don’t include added sugars, unhealthy saturated fats or other additives and preservatives, including Salted Caramel and Vanilla Bean options, without artificial sweeteners, artificial thickeners, emulsifiers or carrageenans – an important consideration when selecting coffee creamers.
Chobani creamers tend to be lower in calories compared to traditional creamers, thanks to their unique combination of water, real milk and natural cane sugar. Furthermore, Chobani uses coconut oil for an additional healthy source of dietary fiber and fatty acids that may help you feel fuller for longer.
Organic plant-based creamer made without vegan and gluten-free ingredients offers a creamy texture without added sugars, while being packed with beneficial fatty acids to support cognitive performance and MCT oil which promotes metabolic health while supporting mental focus.
Nutpods’ nondairy creamer is an innovative plant-based alternative to dairy that combines water, coconut cream and nuts for an authentic creamer experience. Without added sugars or artificial ingredients, this vegan creamer provides an enjoyable taste experience without any dairy’s undesirable elements. Furthermore, this product is gluten-free, non-GMO Project certified, nut-free and nut-free.
For a rich and creamy taste, some coffee creamers contain canola oil or processed vegetable oils derived from seeds of plants they come from, which could cause inflammation in the body. It is therefore advisable to choose creamers without these types of oils in them.
