Let me know in the comments.This Mango Matcha Smoothie is a great way to sneak some extra nutrients and collagen protein into your day with minimal time and effort. She puts together tasty meal plans-especially for those of you with gluten allergies or intolerances-and she's quite the planner and crafter. I just used a couple of scraps.)ĭon't forget to check out Elisabeth's blog. Nutmeg to taste (I use freshly grated nutmeg, and that tends to have a stronger flavor. 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon almond extract (The one I used had alcohol in it, and that's why there's a variation in amounts.).) vanillaĨ oz vanilla almond milk (Vanilla cashew milk is good, too!)ġ tablespoon of vanilla extract (Homemade is awesome!) These flavors were cooked up and sent over especially for you. Add to coffee and enjoy! Should keep in the fridge for at least a week, maybe a bit longer.

This is Elisabeth's original dairy-free creamer recipe:ġ cup canned full-fat coconut milk (at room temp or if making in the winter when the coconut has gotten solid, warm it up in a saucepan first)Ģ tablespoons maple syrup, grade B is best (totally optional!) "So, I tried it and fell in love!" original creamer recipe "I also loved this idea because I could control the sugar-so many diary-free creamers had tons of sugar in them," Elisabeth told me. ( Here's an easy guide.) Elisabeth had used half canned coconut milk and half almond milk in so many cream soups and sauces, and she thought using this combo to make creamer was definitely worth a shot. You can take it a step further by making your own nut milk, too. You just need two main ingredients: full-fat canned coconut milk and almond or cashew milk. But, here's the kicker: It's completely customizable-meaning, yes, you can create your own favorite flavors. That's when she came up with the simplest, cleanest creamer recipe ever. What would be the diary-free equivalent?" "So I thought: regular half and half is made with half cream and half milk. "Of course I was shocked by the price, and then when I went back, it was not in stock and that happened several times," she said. She even ordered a dairy-free creamer to try, and then found it in a local health food store only to be disappointed at the price tag. (Oh, you know I jumped on that.)Įlisabeth has had the same creamer issues as the rest of us. And, the other night, my good friend and fellow blogger Elisabeth from The Girl Who Couldn't Eat Anything told me she came up with her own delicious creamer recipe. This has not only been my experience, but it's been a topic that seems to keep coming up.
HEALTHNUT COCONUT COFFEE PLUS
If there's a creamer that's strictly cream plus milk and has no sugar, it's usually expensive, small and not very practical to budget for. If the creamer is affordable, it typically contains carrageenan, dextrose, cane sugar (which is still sugar) or some other ingredient we find less than desirable. We peruse grocery store shelves stocked with soy, almond and coconut milk variations-just like most other health nuts-but we're still not satisfied. It doesn't matter if you're lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy, vegan or just dairy-free by choice there's a serious demand for creamer without the dairy.
