Thankfully, coffee is one of the things you don't have to give up on the high-fat keto diet–if you drink it the right way. If your daily cup is topped with whipped cream or contains flavored syrups or sugary creamers, then it might end up throwing you out of ketosis. If you're set on following this super-restrictive diet, then it's important to find a keto-friendly coffee creamer.
“Not all coffee creamers are created equal, especially when it comes to keto," says Karissa Long, CHC, keto expert and global integrative nutrition coach. "Many store-bought brands are full of sugars or high-carb additives that will kick you out of ketosis."
Here are 15 low-carb, keto-friendly coffee creamers that'll help you sip your java as you like it.
This creamer is keto, vegan, and paleo-friendly, so it suits a variety of diets. Made with no sugar, the vanilla flavor perfect for those who want to cut the carbs without drinking a plain cup of coffee.
