There are a variety of ways to lose weight. They include adapting to low-carb diets such as keto and paleo or trying eating plans such as the Mediterranean diet. Generally, almost all weight loss programs begin by reducing the sugar you take – whether through foods or drinks.

Some coffee drinkers prefer drinking black coffee to cut down on sugar. Usually, coffee additives and dairy products such as milk, sugar, and creamers are high in calories and will lead to weight gain and other health problems. While black coffee may seem a great solution for weight loss, not all people love black coffee. In this case, sugar-free coffee creamers are a perfect solution. This way, you can still enjoy a coffee creamer despite your sugar-free diet.

Otherwise, you’ll find that most commercial creamers contain lots of sugars and corn syrup, while most commercial sugar-free coffee creamers contain lots of weird ingredients. Here’s how to make a sugar-free coffee creamer:

Step-by-step Guide

1. On medium to low heat, place a saucepan and add a low-carb sweetener of your choice into it. A blend of allulose and powdered monk fruit is the best if you’re looking for a sweeter sugar-free coffee creamer.
2. Add some water into the saucepan and stir everything together. Let the mixture simmer until the sweetener is dissolved or translucent. Ensure that it does not boil.
3. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, and the flavor of your choice, depending on the creamer flavor you’re making.
4. Whisk everything together until it’s thoroughly combined.
5. Allow the coffee creamer to cool to room temperature.
6. After the mixture has cooled, pour it into a mason jar using a funnel.
7. Store your sugar-free coffee creamer in an airtight jar and the fridge for up to 7 days. Finish the creamer within seven days, or throw it away and make a new sugar-free coffee creamer after seven days.

Things to Keep on Mind

1. While the creamer you make seems thin while warm, it’ll thicken once you’ve put it in the refrigerator.
2. The amount of flavor extract that you add depends on your taste buds.
3. If you’re a vegan or looking for a dairy-free option, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
4. If you’re looking for a nut-free option, you can replace almond milk with coconut milk.
5. As mentioned earlier, ensure that the water and the low-carb mixture doen’t boil. Allow the mixture to simmer.

If you’re on a keto diet, here are things to add to your coffee:

• Full-fat coconut milk
• MCT oil
• Heavy cream
• Unsweetened cashew milk
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Collagen
• A small amount of half and half
• Grass-fed butter/ghee
• Sugar-free condensed milk
• Coconut oil

While choosing coffee creamers while on a keto diet, avoid or limit things such as sweetened regular and nut milk varieties. Such types of milk will add more calories than needed. On the other hand, heavy cream and a small amount of half and half are considered the best for a keto diet. However, when using these dairy products, consider using organic or grass-fed varieties since they’re NOn-GMO and a healthy option.

Additionally, avoid artificial sweeteners added to coffee creamers while on a keto diet. They can lead to more calories and stomach upsets, among other health problems.

Last but not least, avoid added sugars, cane sugars, or other products that contain sugars while on a keto diet.
