Coffee creamer is a popular alternative to whole milk, heavy cream, or half-and-half. Its primary function is to whiten coffee or tea, but many coffee creamers also add sweetness and flavour. Taste: even unflavoured creamers vary in taste between brands, so you’ll need to try different options to find the best-tasting coffee creamer. A: We wouldn’t call either a “good” choice. Per tablespoon, the fat-free version of Coffee-mate® contains 25 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 0 grams of saturated fat. While the sugar-free version has 15 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, and the artificial sweeteners sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame potassium.

Start to transition off a generally sweeter coffee/beverage preference by using just 1 teaspoon of Coffee-mate®. Then add 2 tablespoons of 2% milk (or try vanilla soy/almond milk if you like the vanilla flavor), and 1 teaspoon of sugar to bring the flavor and consistency to your liking. If you’re someone who has developed a preference for the super-sweet, tapering your added sugar intake in coffee will be beneficial to you in other areas of your diet as well.Added flavour: are you looking for a milk substitute, or do you want to add a whole new flavour to your cup of joe?

Coffee creamer has several benefits when compared to milk. It has a longer shelf life, adds a rich texture to your morning brew, and can be suitable for people who don’t consume dairy products. Companies can get around this by using a smaller serving size, like the 1 tablespoon serving that is used for Coffee-mate®, which allows for the product to be labeled without trans fats. If each tablespoon of Coffee-mate® contains .49 grams of trans fat, and you use 2-3 tablespoons in your coffee, you could be consuming almost 1.5 grams of trans fat per cup. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 1.5 grams of trans fats per day, with an ideal goal of avoiding them all together — and we agree. Dietary requirements: if you have any dietary restrictions, not all brands and flavours will meet your needs.
