What is a creamer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creamer is a powder or liquid that is added to coffee or black tea instead of milk or cream. It is also called a coffee creamer or tea whitener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most creamers are dairy free, made with sugar or sugar substitute, oil, and thickeners. The non-dairy product comes in powdered and liquid forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are added to coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and more treats. Creamers have a longer shelf life than milk products and the powdered form lasts longer than liquid creamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is creamer used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. To flavor hot chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is not limited to coffee and tea. You can flavor your cup of hot chocolate with it. Put in a tablespoon or two after mixing the cup and adjust to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. As an add-in to hot cereal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For breakfast, you can add regular or flavored creamers to hot cereal. Add less water than you would typically use and let the coffee creamer substitute as the liquid. Vanilla-flavored creamer will be the best for oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. As an add-in to waffles or pancakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can add a cup of tea whitener to your waffle or pancake mix instead of liquid, that is, milk or water. The change of fluid will affect the taste of your food and the smell of your kitchen in the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. To cream mashed potatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add a cup of creamer to your mashed potatoes for extra creaminess. Make sure you use unflavored non-dairy creamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pour over fresh fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How do you know you love food if you don\u2019t experiment with it? If you love fruit with yogurt on the side, fruits and creamer should be easy to try. Try sweet cream flavor with bananas and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Use in tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tea whitener is not strange to anyone. Hot tea drinkers would enjoy the added flavor of this tea whitener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is keto creamer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keto creamers are keto-friendly creamers made with medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, ghee, coconut oil, cacao butter, and sunflower lecithin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These creamers are low in carbs but high in protein to suit a keto diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is creamer healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, creamers are not healthy. They are high in trans fat. And an accumulation of these fats and the additives in this dairy product will load your body with unhealthy chemicals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overconsumption of creamers is associated with health risks such as coronary artery disease and other heart diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
