nutpods Original Coffee Creamer - Unsweetened Non Dairy Creamer Made from Almonds and Coconuts - Keto Creamer, Whole30, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Sugar Free, Kosher (4-Pack)

I've been trying to cut down on calories, fat, and sugar in my diet so knew I had to find a suitable alternative to non-dairy creamers for my coffee, most of which are loaded with corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, or half and half, which has a lot of calories and fat. Although I only drink one or two cups of coffee a day, the sugar, fat, and other less than healthy ingredients can really add up over time. I tried a variety of nut and soy-based options but they either didn't do enough to offset the natural bitterness of black coffee, or didn't have enough texture, or had a funny after-taste or any number of other objectionable qualities. Also, for some reason, the manufacturers of the majority of those options think we need to have flavored coffee. Good luck trying to find a creamer that isn't vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, or some other concoction more suitable for a dessert than a decent morning cup of coffee.After doing some research, I finally ran across Nutpods. The reviews were glowing, the nutritional profile immaculate. My one concern was, seeing that it was sweetened with coconut, I was afraid that I'd be able to taste that in the coffee but that proved not to be the case at all.My one grievance with the product, if you can call it a grievance, is that it does not integrate well with the coffee. It kind of clumps up into little curds and doesn't really change the color much at all. So, if you're expecting to see your black cup of coffee transformed into that smooth, flawlessly beautiful, light brown/beige hue that you've come to know and love with the other creamers, you will be disappointed. But don't let that fool you. It still changes the texture, cuts the bitterness, and adds that creamy, velvety feel that comes with the other creamers and it does so without adding an unpleasant aftertaste of any kind.Personally, although I do miss the smooth-looking pleasantly tan color, I'm guessing that in order to achieve that, they would have to incorporate the inclusion of some objectionable additives and that would defeat the whole purpose and reason I'm looking for an alternative to the other options out there. This is the best solution I've been able to find so far and, on balance, it's one I'm pretty happy with.

Finally! A non-dairy creamer with simple ingredients and NO SUGAR. I have tried all the soy, almond, cashew creamers out there, and they all have odd flavourings and sugar added to them. None could compete with simple dairy half-and-half for a basic creamy addition to coffee. I have made my own at home, but homemade ones have a habit of separating, requiring stirring your coffee before every sip. Nutpods on the other hand is a stable nut based creamy milk that is the closest I have found to half-and-half. I did not find it thin and watery as some reviewers here have described. Nor does it taste like coconut. It is slightly richer on the tongue than half-and-half, which surprised me. I checked the nutrition label, and found it had per tbsp 0.5g less fat than half-and-half. The first sip was a little different than I was expecting because my coffee looked exactly as if I had added half-and-half. But the second sip convinced me. For someone with lactose intolerance, half-and-half was the single most difficult dairy product to give up. I had basically given up ever finding an alternative and just accepted the GI discomfort. Not any more. I also love that it is shelf stable so I can order it and keep extras in the pantry. Camping this summer will be awesome, knowing I will have a nice cream for my morning coffee.

I use evaporated goat milk in my coffee which gives the coffee a smooth, rich taste in my opinion. Even so I tried every new innovative creamer that came along, well, the healthy creamers anyway. All were too watery for me. When I learned about NUTPODS, I decided to try it too with the added assurance of being able to cook with it if I didn't like it in my coffee. Well, I do like it in coffee.Nutpods is surprisingly creamy considering there is no milk in it. It tastes great in coffee. I ordered the three-pack to try but intend to keep this in stock because there are many advantages. First of all, it is shelf safe until opened. Once opened, it needs refrigerating. One carton lasted me 4 or 5 days and that is with me being very genorous with the creamer. Secondly, since it is shelf safe until opened, it will always be there when I need milk for a recipe, important in my house since I cook.Each container has slightly over 11 ounces while the goat milk has 12 ounces, a negibile difference considering all the advantages. BTW, I got the regular Nutpods as IMO flavored creamers are best in flavored coffee. JMO though. If one is looking for a great healthy non-milk coffee creamer which is also good for cooking, then give Nutpods a try. Highly recommended!
