How Many Weight Watchers Points Is Coffee Creamer

If you're not a fan of black coffee, but you're working hard to cut unnecessary fat and calories from your diet, then you're in luck. Much like the days of being forced to drink gas station coffee on the go, the days of only choosing between powdered creamer and half-and-half are long behind us. These days, the market is overflowing with coffee creamers that are much lower in calories, fat and carbohydrates than those creamers of old.

In fact, many of them even work with special diets like Whole30, ketogenic and paleo. Vegan or lactose intolerant? No problem! Plenty of options in the new class of creamers are dairy-free, so you can even consume them as part of a vegan diet. Even better, they don't use questionable fake alternatives to replace the unhealthy ingredients. They use healthy ingredients like coconut, almonds and other types of nuts to deliver both quality and flavor. Still need more incentive? You can find these creamers at most supermarkets or order them online without breaking the bank. Drink up!

Califia Farms: Unsweetened Almond Milk Creamer

Califia Farms makes an unsweetened almond milk coffee creamer that only has 10 calories and 1 gram of fat per tablespoon. It also doesn't contain any sugar, so don't expect the creamer to add any sweetness, but it adds that perfect creamy color and texture to your morning cup of joe.

The Califia Farms brand also never contains any artificial flavors or colors or any unhealthy hydrogenated oils. Water and almonds are the main ingredients, although it also contains coconut cream, sunflower lecithin, sea salt and locust bean gum. The end result is creamy and delicious as well as gluten-free, GMO-free and kosher. Like Califia Farms other products, the creamer doesn't contain the controversial additive carrageenan, a thickener approved by the FDA that some scientists claim is harmful to the digestive tract.

The brand So Delicious sells an assortment of dairy-free creamers made from coconut milk. Each one has no more than seven wholesome, natural, plant-based ingredients, yet they all taste as rich and creamy as regular (chemical-filled) liquid creamers. The So Delicious creamer blends are organic, vegan and certified non-GMO.

The original flavor offers the healthiest alternative to traditional creamer. It has 1 gram of fat and 15 calories per tablespoon. If you prefer a creamer with a little more flavor, the caramel and the French vanilla versions both have 20 calories and 3 grams of sugar in the form of organic cane sugar. Like the Califia Farms brand, these creamers also do not contain the carrageenan additive as a thickener.

Sports Research Emulsified MCT Oil

Sports Research Emulsified MCT [medium chain triglycerides] oil may be a little more on the expensive side, but health experts claim it's worth it, especially if you're one of the growing number of people following a ketogenic diet. Studies have shown that the oil offers plenty of health benefits. Specifically, it may help you lose weight, boost your energy, help you manage brain diseases like Alzheimer's, fight yeast and bacteria, control blood sugar, and help prevent heart disease.

Considering all those health perks, could it actually taste good in your coffee? Absolutely! When it blends with your coffee, it's creamy and delicious, just like all your old favorites, but without the harmful artificial flavors and additives. One tablespoon has 70 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbohydrate and less than 1 gram of sugar.

Milkadamia Unsweetened Macadamia Milk

Nut-based products are popular with most people on a ketogenic diet, and that remains true when it comes to milk and creamer alternatives. One delicious option for satisfying both creamy coffee cravings and I-just-want-a-glass-of-milk cravings is Milkadamia's unsweetened macadamia milk. This non-dairy product is certified GMO-free, soy-free, dairy-free and gluten-free.

It's also kosher, vegan, totally plant-based and carrageenan-free, all without sacrificing a drop of flavor. Even better, the nuts are sustainably farmed and produced, ensuring the product is just as good for the planet as it is for your body. The milk has a hint of vanilla for sweetness, but it still comes in at 0 grams of sugar and only 50 calories per serving. Need more? It also has added A, B and D vitamins, just like real milk.

Nutpods Dairy-free Creamer

If you're following the paleo or Whole30 diet plans and can't face giving up some deliciously creamed coffee, the collection of Nutpods creamers are probably your best bet. With every delicious flavor containing 0 grams of sugar, they are also suitable for the ketogenic diet and are kosher, vegan, gluten-free and certified GMO-free.

Made from almonds and coconut, each serving of the original unsweetened Nutpods creamer has 10 calories, 1 gram of fat and 0 grams of carbohydrates. Other everyday flavors include French vanilla, which is sweetened with vanilla beans; unsweetened hazelnut; and rich (yet still unsweetened) caramel. The company also offers limited edition flavors to fit the season throughout the year, including flavors like peppermint mocha and eggnog for the holiday season and cinnamon swirl and pumpkin spice for the fall.
