nutpods Original 4-Pack, Unsweetened Dairy-Free Creamer, Whole30, Paleo, Keto, Non-GMO and Vegan, for Coffee, Tea and Cooking, Made from Almond and Coconut

More creamy than any other alternative that I’ve tried, I’d recommend it for flavour, so good. However, it is pricey.

This creamer has truly become my favorite choice when I want to enjoy a deliciously smooth and creamy cup of coffee, all without any added sugar. The original unsweetened formula, crafted from a blend of coconut cream and almonds, has an exceptional ability to blend seamlessly into my coffee, imparting a luxurious silky texture without overpowering the flavor or introducing sweetness. With only 10 calories per tablespoon and a complete absence of sugar and carbs, it’s an excellent option for anyone who is mindful of their dietary intake. **Taste & Smell:** The flavor profile is subtle and neutral, providing a clean taste that complements rather than masks the natural notes of the coffee. It gently smooths out any sharp edges and allows the rich flavors of the coffee to shine through. **Texture:** For a plant-based creamer, its creaminess and richness are quite impressive. It replicates the comforting mouthfeel of traditional half-and-half, yet without the saturated fats or dairy that many prefer to avoid. **Packaging:** The creamer comes conveniently packaged in an 11.2-ounce shelf-stable carton. This design makes it easy to store in the pantry, which is especially handy for smaller households where space can be a concern. **Health & Diet Friendly:** This creamer aligns well with various dietary preferences and restrictions, making it an inclusive choice for many lifestyles. It is keto-friendly, paleo-approved, compatible with Whole30, vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free. Notably, it even scores 0 points on the WeightWatchers system, allowing you to enjoy your coffee guilt-free. **Shelf Life:** Its shelf-stable nature allows it to be stored at room temperature until it’s opened. Once opened, it can be refrigerated and should be consumed within 7 to 10 days for the best taste and quality. **Value for Money:** While it comes at a higher price point compared to typical dairy creamers, I believe the investment is worthwhile. You’re getting a high-quality, clean product that is sugar-free and plant-based, with better nutritional macros—no unnecessary sugars or empty calories. **Prime Delivery:** One of the best parts is how quickly it arrives via delivery, ensuring I’m never left without my essential morning routine. **Why I love it:** Since I made the switch away from sweetened creamers, I have found that this option gives me the perfect balance of creaminess while keeping my coffee free from any extra sugar or artificial flavors. It has transformed my daily coffee experience into something truly enjoyable. #AmazonFinds #DobermanMom #DobermanSafe #SugarFree #HealthierChoice #PlantBased #CoffeeLover

I've been trying to cut down on calories, fat, and sugar in my diet so knew I had to find a suitable alternative to non-dairy creamers for my coffee, most of which are loaded with corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, or half and half, which has a lot of calories and fat. Although I only drink one or two cups of coffee a day, the sugar, fat, and other less than healthy ingredients can really add up over time. I tried a variety of nut and soy-based options but they either didn't do enough to offset the natural bitterness of black coffee, or didn't have enough texture, or had a funny after-taste or any number of other objectionable qualities. Also, for some reason, the manufacturers of the majority of those options think we need to have flavored coffee. Good luck trying to find a creamer that isn't vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, or some other concoction more suitable for a dessert than a decent morning cup of coffee. After doing some research, I finally ran across Nutpods. The reviews were glowing, the nutritional profile immaculate. My one concern was, seeing that it was sweetened with coconut, I was afraid that I'd be able to taste that in the coffee but that proved not to be the case at all. My one grievance with the product, if you can call it a grievance, is that it does not integrate well with the coffee. It kind of clumps up into little curds and doesn't really change the color much at all. So, if you're expecting to see your black cup of coffee transformed into that smooth, flawlessly beautiful, light brown/beige hue that you've come to know and love with the other creamers, you will be disappointed. But don't let that fool you. It still changes the texture, cuts the bitterness, and adds that creamy, velvety feel that comes with the other creamers and it does so without adding an unpleasant aftertaste of any kind. Personally, although I do miss the smooth-looking pleasantly tan color, I'm guessing that in order to achieve that, they would have to incorporate the inclusion of some objectionable additives and that would defeat the whole purpose and reason I'm looking for an alternative to the other options out there. This is the best solution I've been able to find so far and, on balance, it's one I'm pretty happy with.

Finally! A non-dairy creamer with simple ingredients and NO SUGAR. I have tried all the soy, almond, cashew creamers out there, and they all have odd flavourings and sugar added to them. None could compete with simple dairy half-and-half for a basic creamy addition to coffee. I have made my own at home, but homemade ones have a habit of separating, requiring stirring your coffee before every sip. Nutpods on the other hand is a stable nut based creamy milk that is the closest I have found to half-and-half. I did not find it thin and watery as some reviewers here have described. Nor does it taste like coconut. It is slightly richer on the tongue than half-and-half, which surprised me. I checked the nutrition label, and found it had per tbsp 0.5g less fat than half-and-half. The first sip was a little different than I was expecting because my coffee looked exactly as if I had added half-and-half. But the second sip convinced me. For someone with lactose intolerance, half-and-half was the single most difficult dairy product to give up. I had basically given up ever finding an alternative and just accepted the GI discomfort. Not any more. I also love that it is shelf stable so I can order it and keep extras in the pantry. Camping this summer will be awesome, knowing I will have a nice cream for my morning coffee.

**Update: The company reached out to me. They're a family-owned company producing on a smaller scale going up again giant companies. Not a crazy profit margin like I thought. The creamer *is* damn good. Also, my coconut creamer workaround is not satisfying me right now.** Original review: This is just too expensive. I really think the company is leaving themselves a giant profit margin. Are they advertising a lot?? I don't know. I love this creamer but I like my matcha latte super creamy and end up going through one of the cartons in 3 days, and the 4 pack in 12 days. I use about 4 oz per serving and each carton is a little over 11 oz. On the last day my latte is a tiny bit sad (today). Aren't there any competitors out there?? (Not Califia, sorry their almond milk tastes like poo poo with lattes and it has funky ingredients.) I think around $10 would be awesome. Right now it's $9 a week to make my lattes everyday. At $10 it'll be around $6. 9x4wk=$36mo vs 6x4=$24mo. I save about $12 which buys me another pack with some change. As of now, I won't be buying another pack. I can't justify the amount of money I'm spending just to have some dairy-free creamer without funky ingredients. I'm going to go back to buying coconut cream: Aroy-D Pure Coconut Cream, 33.8 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3) , it's 0.15 an ounce. It has a short shelf life once opened so I just take a bit out of the carton and fill up a small glass jar (used jam jar) and store that in the fridge. The big carton I carefully vacuum seal it and put that in the bottom of fridge way in the back. The small glass jar keeps me going through the week and the big carton lasts at least a few weeks when vacuum sealed and left alone (opened once a week to refill my glass jar). I'm going to calculate that better this time around and see how the whole process goes. Sorry nutpods, I'll probably be back later when I get tired of my coconut cream workaround but not this time. I def will not be stocking my pantry with this item.
