If you’re low on space in your kitchen pantry, this non-refrigerated creamer jug, made from almonds and coconut, offers convenient storage. With zero sugar and only 10 calories per serving, this unsweetened, dairy-free option is the perfect morning energy boost.
Pour it into your favorite balmy or iced coffee for a nice kick. It’s also carrageenan-free – carrageenan is a natural ingredient derived from red seaweed that’s used as a food additive to thicken and preserve some foods and beverages, which can have varying effects on people depending on their diet and sensitivities.
When it comes to “gums” (the binding agent that gives creams their desired consistency), Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD, CDN and CEO Kitchen Health says you have nothing to worry about because “the gums have been studied extensively over the past 30 years and deemed safe and sound by the USDA.” If you still decide to avoid the additive, that’s fine too. Do what works for you!
