Even if you’re on a sugar-free diet or lifestyle, you can still enjoy coffee creamer. Just be sure to watch out for artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated oils. This post includes the best healthy sugar-free coffee creamers.
Unless you prefer your coffee black, you might like a little sweetness and creaminess with your morning cup of coffee.
I’m hopeful that this list of the best Sugar-Free Coffee Creamers will come in handy.
Below are my top picks for sugar-free creamers without any unnecessary chemicals like artificial sweeteners, artificial flavor, or hydrogenated oils.
My focus is to offer you the best options—without scary ingredients, additives, or ingredients like corn syrup solids that just don’t do us (or our gut) service.
If you want a little more sweetness for any of these unsweetened options, add your preferred sugar-free sweetener.
My favorite non-nutritive zero-calorie sweetener is monk fruit, but you can also read more about the best natural sugar substitutes and the difference between them and added sugars before you test and find your favorite.
