Mytwogirls2 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I am looking for a good creamer someone mentioned Nut Pod but I read the reviews and they said it makes their coffee clunky. New Barn almond milk did the same thing too (in the green container) I also bought Califia which is a combination of coconut milk and Almond milk I haven't used it yet because I am not sure of the ingredients. This is day 2 for me and I have a headache and I've been running to the bathroom. I am guess my body is getting rid of the bad carbs and sugars. I feel bad for day two but I am hanging in there. For breakfast I had 2 eggs over easy 1 slice of paleo approved bacon -no sugars and 2 cups of sautéed kale with 1/2 of avocado. Lunch will be 2 baked chicken thighs with 1/2 sweet baked potato with ghee and salt and pepper. right now I am drinking my coffee black but I would lovvvvvvve to add some creaminess to it Califia ingredients Here is says: Other Ingredients: Almondmilk (water, almonds), coconut cream, pure cane sugar, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, potassium citrate, locust bean gum, gellan gum.

bpfwhole30 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sorry but that Califia creamer is not compliant because of the pure cane sugar. I love NutPods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirls2 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 That's what I thought. What can I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2017 Canned coconut milk (check ingredients). Califia also does make approved creamers... Try bulletproof coffee? So that's coconut oil blended into your coffee... makes it somewhat creamy and delectable but not clumpy (but you HAVE to use some sort of blender because otherwise you get an oil slick). Black? Cold Brew black coffee is one thing lots of people try when they say they don't like black coffee... I find I can drink black coffee but without coconut milk, it's too acidic for me...

scma Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I use plain canned coconut milk. I'm on Day 29 and have tried a bunch of brands, and the best one to me is Thai Kitchen (full fat, not lite). You have to stir it well but it turns into a nice creamy consistency. I tried just going with black coffee and it was too harsh - but the coconut milk makes coffee drinkable. It's not as good as real creamer but it gets you through the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaC Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I use Thai Kitchen coconut milk also. My daughter-in-law just told me to put the unopened can in a bowl of warm water for about 20-30 minutes before I'm ready to open it. Just like magic-no need to stir it. The consistency is perfect and easy to use in coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki1973nikki Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Canned coconut milk in coffee is the best! I'm done with my Whole 30 and can't give that up..... throw it in the blender and it makes a latte. The only thing that is better is real heavy cream. It may take a couple of cups to get used to it.

Mytwogirls2 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I loved my heavy cream in coffee just didn't like buying it every week because of not lasting long enough. Is the Canned coconut milk or Thai Kitchen compliant? Nikki1973 are you saying your taste bud changed after not drinking the heavy cream? I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scma Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thai Kitchen is a brand of canned coconut milk, and yes, it is compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirls2 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thank you. I am on the hunt for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratqueen Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Aroy-D is another brand of compliant Coconut milk...and in my area, you can only find it at the Asian markets, not major grocery...but it's delicious, and about 1/2 the price of Thai Kitchen. I agree with Nikki, too...I'm not a coconut person, but I love the milk in my coffee in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki1973nikki Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Quote Nikki1973 are you saying your taste bud changed after not drinking the heavy cream? I hope not Not for dairy- I could interchange heavy cream and coconut milk. I love the thick, creamy aspect. My tastebuds did change in that I now don't need sugar to sweeten things. I'm a big sugar creeper. When I did my first Whole 30, I got on the coconut milk coffee.... after, I went back to half and half and slowly adding more and more sugar until.... before this Whole 30, it was probably a tablespoon per 16 ounce cup. I feel like my trade off on coffee is either super creamy OR super sweet. But yeah, after about a week without sugar- my tastebuds change and I can taste natural sweetness. As soon as I add back sugar, that changes. My post Whole 30 goal is to in my day to day, not have sugar at all- not even a little bit. I still may splurge on an occasional dessert, but no more coffee with sugar, no more sweetened yogurt. To me, one of the best parts of Whole 30 is how good natural foods taste at the end of it!

MicMD2503 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hello...I have Califia almond creamer and nowhere does it mention pure cane sugar (looking at label as I write). These are the ingredients: almond milk (water, almonds), coconut cream, sunflower lecithin, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, sea salt, potassium citrate, locust bean gum, gellan gum.

This is also a great example of why everyone should be reading every label everytime they buy... because there is nothing consistent about products, regions, manufacturing processes or ingredient formulations.

Califia Farms makes about a dozen different flavors of creamers. The two unsweetened varieties are compliant, but the rest are sweetened. Neither poster mentioning ingredients specified which flavor of creamer they bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I totally get that... but a lot of people come here, see someone posted that they found 'Califia creamer to be compliant' and then pick up the first thing they see with that vendor name on it and don't do their own due diligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiva Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I like Savoy coconut cream (just the coconut in the can; at Asian groceries). Or ghee. Both really, really need the immersion blender, otherwise they turn into clumps of oil. But blended up, they're lovely. Careful with the immersion blender, or you can find yourself cleaning coconut milk off the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
