4 of the Best Coffee Creamer Substitute Options

Home / Substitutes / 4 of the Best Coffee Creamer Substitute Options

If you have a morning coffee habit, you’re probably pretty particular about how you like your cup of joe — whether that’s with cream, sugar, both, or neither. But if you’re searching for a way to cut back on calories, using a coffee creamer substitute instead of the real stuff can help.

Whether you’re trying to get healthier by cutting out creamer or you’re just looking for an alternative, we’ve got you covered with these simple coffee creamer substitute ideas. Keep reading to learn more about your coffee creamer substitute options and find one that’s right for you.

Best coffee creamer substitute options

Almond milk

As a classic non-dairy milk substitute, almond milk is now easy to find at your local grocery store or café. Since it’s become so popular, you shouldn’t have much trouble finding almond milk if you want to use it as a coffee creamer substitute.

It’s important to mention that almond milk is not suitable for people with nut allergies. You should also be aware that almond milk (and other nut milk) tend to curdle when mixed with hot coffee, so experts recommend buying good quality almond milk for the best results.

Oat milk

In recent years, oat milk has emerged as a vegan alternative to cow’s milk, alongside almond and soy milk. It’s made by blending soaked oats and water and then removing the remaining liquid. Oat milk is popular with people who have nut allergies and don’t consume dairy.

In coffee, you can use oat milk in the same way that you would use coffee creamer. Simply swap in the same quantity for your creamer, either directly into your mug or by frothing it to make a latte.

Fat-free or low-fat milk

If you consume dairy products, then milk is the most straightforward coffee creamer substitute that you can use. Depending on your preferences, you can try anything from fat-free milk to skim milk to whole milk.

With that said, fat-free or low-fat milk is the best option if you’re trying to cut down on calories. It might not have the same rich and creamy taste as coffee creamer, but it will still give you the taste of dairy that you’re looking for in your morning brew.

Coconut milk

It might sound strange, but coconut milk is quickly growing in popularity as an alternative to traditional coffee creamer. Like almond and oat milk, coconut milk is dairy-free, which appeals to vegans and lactose-intolerant people. Since it has a high-fat content, coconut milk is also compatible with keto diets.

Before adding coconut milk to your coffee, you should be sure that you like coconut taste. It can be a divisive flavor, so coconut milk is only a good coffee creamer substitute if you’re a fan of the tree nut. It’s also recommended that you use the highest-quality coconut milk rather than processed or light versions.

Swapping out creamer for a lighter alternative is an easy way to cut out extra calories in the morning. Whether you’re looking for a coffee creamer substitute that’s vegan, nut-free, or contains dairy, you should have some luck with one of these options.
