Cold Foam Creamer: Coffee mateThis Coffee Mate creamer is a sweet treat, but it's best to use it sparingly. It's non-dairy, which is a plus for some, but it's loaded with sugar and coconut oil.
Benefit:
- Zero cholesterol.
Concerns:
- High in sugar: Sugar is the second ingredient, meaning it's a major component. This can lead to blood sugar spikes.
- Coconut oil: While not inherently bad, it's a source of saturated fat. Too much can be a concern.
- Additives: Contains dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, cellulose gel, and cellulose gum. These are generally safe but indicate a highly processed product.
This creamer should be an occasional indulgence, not a daily staple. If you want to add some flavor to your coffee, consider using unsweetened almond milk or a splash of real cream with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. These options will provide a similar creamy texture with fewer unhealthy additives.
