Pandora Black Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The ingredients to this are technically compliant, but the book says no paleo creamers sweetened with “lots” of dates, and this creamer has dates in it. (But the label says 0g sugar). However, Tessamae’s ketchup also has dates in it, and that’s supposedly Whole 30 approved. So...I’m confused as to whether this is compliant or not.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted April 26, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 26, 2019 I would be hesitant. Cashew milk on its own is fairly sweet so wondering if the dates in it are to ramp up the sweetness more to an "International Delight" level? We can't hardcore rule this out but I wouldn't also rule it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Black Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 It’s not as sweet as the international delights creamers, not even close. It doesn’t taste sweet to me. I’m torn. Should I just buy Better Half unsweetened to play it safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Black Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’m just going to get better half I guess. I’m too addicted to this creamer anyway. I about died when it said in the book, “Do you even like coffee or do you just want a sugar hit?” CALLED OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call and glad you self-discovered enough to know what the creamer was doing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Black Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well, and I added sugar to my coffee as well. But I’m sure half the reason I love this creamer so much is it’s slightly sweetened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who's used to putting sugar in coffee, your brain is probably grabbing onto the sweetness from the dates and telling you that it's amazing and wonderful and have another cup of coffee because *more creamer*. For someone who usually just puts a little milk or cream in their coffee, the dates in the creamer may not be a trigger food for them. Good for you on recognizing that this creamer probably isn't a great option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could drink coffee and tea with this creamer all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
