What Coffee Creamer Can I Use For Keto?
If you've done any label comparison at the grocery store, you probably know that most of the prepackaged coffee creamers that are out there aren't keto-friendly. There are many that are sugar free and lower in net carbs, but they should be used sparingly to stay under your daily carb goals.
This homemade low carb coffee creamer will also need to be used in moderation (just like all of the good things in life) but you can customize the flavor according to your personal preferences in the comfort of your own kitchen. Who doesn't love a little bit of flexibility to create a delicious low carb cup of coffee?
Ingredients You'll Need
- Heavy cream- Helps to thicken your keto creamer to a consistency that more resembles a traditional coffee creamer you would buy at the grocery store.
- Unsweetened almond milk- Provides additional liquid to your creamer recipe to help balance the amount of calories per serving when mixed with the heavy cream.
- Coconut oil- Gives extra healthy fats to help ward off those hunger cravings first thing in the morning or between meals.
- Liquid stevia- For a touch of sweetness without a ton of carbs.
- Cinnamon- Gives additional flavor and a hint of horchata or cinnamon cereal milk flavor.
