![]() ![]() ![]() Just swap out the half & half for full-fat canned coconut milk or canned lite coconut milk for milk. And so easy to make dairy-free with canned coconut milk.It’s made from 4 simple real food ingredients!.This homemade vanilla creamer is my favorite part of the morning! Here’s why: You’ll thank me forever and ever, I promise. That’s where Homemade Vanilla Bean Coffee Creamer comes into play, my friends. I don’t have the desire to start putting coffee creamer in my coffee every morning, but it is nice to have now and then (like holidays and gatherings and when I go on a cranberry orange scone binge ), and it sure would be nice to have a real food coffee creamer that doesn’t contain sugar or natural flavors yet DID actually contain some flavor derived from real food. I’m a sucker for vanilla-flavored anything, and the mere fact that it was Christmas AND we were visiting family out of town AND we had just moved across the country AND I was pretty much as stressed as I had ever been in my whole life means that I used the coffee creamer. Until this past Christmas when my mother-in-law brought out the all-natural vanilla-flavored coffee creamer. So basically I turned a blind eye and ignored those creamers. That list of ingredients I just shared was for the vanilla flavor, yet you’ll see that vanilla isn’t listed anywhere on the ingredients. Seeing “natural flavors” listed does concern me since that phrase really covers a wide array of possible flavors derived in a variety of ways ( read the definition of ‘natural flavors’ here, according to the FDA).Īnd just because it’s natural doesn’t mean you’re actually getting the food as found unprocessed in nature. What are the ‘Natural Flavors’ in Store-Bought Coffee Creamers? Ideally, there wouldn’t be any sugar at all since it took me several years to wean myself off, but you can’t win every battle. I’m not too concerned about the first three. The ingredients on those containers read milk, heavy cream, sugar, and natural flavors. I’ve known for a while that there are “better” coffee creamers on the market. ![]()
