Healthy can also be delicious.

1. Califia Farms

These plant-based creamers have a lot going for them. They’re dairy-free (meaning they contain no milk protein; comparable products that include milk protein are considered non-dairy instead). They’re gluten-free, soy-free and non-GMO, and they don’t contain the controversial thickening agent carrageenan, either.

Almond milk is an acquired taste for many people. But even those who don’t drink it regularly will find that Califia Farms’ unsweetened Almondmilk creamer is quite tasty, thanks to its added coconut cream and natural flavors. It’s zero-carb, with only one gram of fat and ten calories per tablespoon. It must be refrigerated.

Sweeter Almondmilk varieties include caramel macchiato coffee creamer, hazelnut coffee creamer and French Vanilla coffee creamer, and the company also offers delicious alternatives like Cinnamon Roll Oat Creamer. Not all are sugar-free or zero-carb, though.

2. Walden Farms

Yes, this is the same company that makes healthy salad dressings, too. Their dairy-free creamers are just as good, with no added sugar, no carbs, no fat, no gluten and no calories; stevia, monk fruit extract and erythritol are the natural sweeteners.

Walden Farms uses natural flavors to create yummy varieties like their mocha creamer and sweet cream coffee creamers, and they occasionally add limited-edition flavors like peppermint mocha to the lineup. These creamers require refrigeration after opening.

Taste is subjective. We like these choices best.

1. Starbucks

Sadly, there’s no Starbucks Caramel Macchiato creamer on the market just yet. But the company sells the next best thing: “Starbucks Caramel Creamer inspired by Caramel Macchiato.”

We’re not sure what the distinction is; maybe it’s a legal one. In any event, you know what it tastes like, and it’s yummy – just like their white chocolate (“inspired by white chocolate mocha”) and pumpkin spice (“inspired by pumpkin spice latte”) flavors.

Here’s the bad news, which you probably expect. Most of Starbucks’ creamers include ingredients like milk and cream, buttermilk, sugar, and soybean oil. That means they aren’t as good for you as coffee creamer brands like Califia Farms and Walden Farms; the caramel creamer contains 40 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and six grams of carbs per tablespoon.

But if you’re in search of taste rather than nutrition, you’ve come to the right place. And you don’t need a barista to serve it up.

2. International Delight

The original flavored coffee creamer is still one of the best – and it comes in some terrific flavors. Just a few of the more exotic ones: Cinnabon, Twinkies, and Almond Joy. They also have more pedestrian choices like white chocolate raspberry, amaretto, and French vanilla flavors.

Once again, though, there’s bad news: 1.5 grams of fat, 35 calories, and five grams of carbs. The good news is that those last two numbers are slightly better than Starbucks’, and that the International Delight creamers are non-dairy (although not dairy-free, since they contain milk protein-derived sodium caseinate).

3. Nestlé Coffee-Mate

We prefer our first two choices to Coffee-Mate, but there are several reasons to consider this OG coffee creamer. One is that they offer tasty flavors you can’t find anywhere else, like Snickers and Italian Sweet Crème. The other is the company’s Natural Bliss brand, which is made from all-natural ingredients – although it’s not that much healthier than other Coffee-Mate products.

1. So Delicious

This company’s calling card is creating dairy-free products, and their coffee creamers are some of the best – and healthiest – on the market.

A good example: So Delicious organic Coconut Milk Creamer, which contains only water, coconut milk and several non-controversial additives. It’s zero-sugar, zero-carb, and has just one gram of fat in each tablespoon. Needless to say, it’s dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO.

The almond milk creamer is also available in caramel and French vanilla flavors, and the oat milk variety comes in creamy vanilla flavor.

2. Laird Superfood

We’ve finally arrived at the first powdered creamer on this list, and it was worth the wait. Laird Superfood uses some interesting ingredients to produce a wide range of plant-based, dairy-free creamers.

Here’s one possibility: Superfood Creamer with Functional Mushrooms. It includes four different types of adaptogenic mushrooms believed to provide a number of health benefits, in addition to coconut milk powder, extra virgin coconut oil, and added calcium. Another great Laird variety includes turmeric for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Low in calories, carbs and fat, these are excellent creamers to stir into your cup of joe.

1. Super Creamer

Keto dieters often add MCT oil to their coffee or to other foods, because it boosts the production of ketones for energy. It also produces brain benefits. And it’s one of the ingredients in Super Creamer.

That’s not the only reason this is our top-rated keto creamer. Instead of sugar or artificial sweeteners, it contains natural stevia and monk fruit extract, making it a zero-carb creamer. It’s low in calories and fat, too. Some flavors contain milk protein and others contain plant-derived pea protein, so you have to choose carefully if you want a non-dairy product. But all of the eight flavors are delicious, so the choice is an enjoyable one.

2. Nutpods

Quite honestly, these creamers don’t taste quite as good as Super Creamer, they’re much higher in calories, and they derive their MCTs from coconut cream which isn’t as potent a source.

But they’re all zero-carb, they’re all dairy-free, vegan-friendly and plant-based, and they’re available in some interesting flavors like toasted marshmallow, coffee cake, and cinnamon dolce.
