Is Silk Almond Coffee Creamer Healthy?
No Milk Coffee Creamers for You
Are You Looking for the Ideal Non-Dairy Coffee Creamers?
With countless dairy free coffee creamers on the market containing added sugars and oils that may contribute to increased sugar intake or added saturated fat intake, dairy free creamers may seem like an excellent solution. Unfortunately, many contain added sugars or oils containing harmful additives; thus this article will focus on dairy free creamers that offer healthy options made from whole foods with minimal added sugars and saturated fats.
We were on the lookout for coffee creamers that used safe sweeteners like stevia extract or sucralose (e.g. Truvia Organic Vanilla) instead of more processed sugar and acesulfame potassium found in other brands. In particular, we wanted creamers without carrageenan which has been linked with digestive issues in some individuals; finally we wanted one without artificial colors or flavors such as dyes made of synthetic compounds or manufactured flavors as these can sometimes contain harmful synthetic dyes or flavors that cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
Silk Vanilla Almond is the leading plant based coffee creamer, available both liquid and powder forms. Both versions have Non-GMO Project Verification status, featuring delicious vanilla with just a hint of almond. Formulated using coconut milk, tapioca maltodextrin and acacia gum as thickeners; free from carrageenan, cholesterol or artificial colors/flavors for enhanced vegan-friendliness with money back guarantees available for both products.
Califia, Nut Pods and Elmhurst offer many plant based creamers with minimal sweetness; Best Bites from their unsweetened soy, oat, almond-coconut creamers contain just one or two grams of sugar per tablespoon making them better choices than Natural Bliss and Coffee Mate which both claim Best Bite status but contain one gram of saturated fat per cup!
