Homemade Coffee Creamer

Coffee creamers may last a long time, but they contain highly processed soybean oils (that may be partially hydrogenated: aka the dreaded trans fats), and corn syrup (the second ingredient). For quite a long time now I've been looking for a non-Nestle sugar free coffee creamer, and I've only found one, which I was not impressed with. I try as much as possible to boycott Nestle and their products due to their company's dubious and sometimes downright disgusting ecological record (Just read up on what they did to a small town's water supply in Michigan). So, in the interest of health and ecological responsibility, here's my super simple recipe for coffee creamer:

Thicker version (24 cal/Tbsp.)

11 Tbsp. heavy cream
8.5 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut milk (I used So Delicious)
4.5 Tbsp. DaVinci Sugar Free Vanilla (or any flavor you desire) syrup
1/2 tsp. madagascar bourbon vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 24 Tbsp, or 1 and 1/2 cups.

1/2 c. serving = 190 calories
1/4 c. serving = 95 calories

Thinner Version (19 cal/Tbsp.)

11 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut milk
8.5 Tbsp. heavy cream
4.5 Tbsp. DaVinci Sugar Free Vanilla (or any flavor you desire) syrup
1/2 tsp. madagascar bourbon vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 24 Tbsp, or 1 and 1/2 cups.

1/2 c. serving = 152 calories
1/4 c. serving = 76 calories

You're welcome for doing all the math =)
