If you like a little cream in your coffee but
cannot tolerate dairy products you may
be using Coffee Mate, a non-dairy
creamer that has been around since
1961.

What is in this product and can you get
an organic alternative to Coffee Mate?

According to Organic Authority, Coffee
Mate contains the following:

 Corn syrup solids: this is mostly the sugar dextrose derived from corn
starch
 Partially hydrogenated soybean or cottonseed oil: hydrogen is added to
these oils to make them solid and making them trans fats
 Sodium caseinate: this is a milk protein but does not contain lactose so it
is a dairy product that is digestible by those with lactose intolerance
 Mono and diglycerides: these are emulsifying agents that extend shelf
life typically used in foods that contain trans fats
 Dipotassium phosphate: this is a water-soluble salt that prevents Coffee
Mate from coagulating.
 Carrageenan: a red seaweed extract gelatin

Is there a simpler and organic alternative
to this product?

Organic Alternative to Coffee Mate and
Other Coffee Creamers

If you would like to avoid putting cream in
your coffee and avoid all of the junk that
comes in non-dairy creamers here are
three alternatives.

Coconut Milk

We wrote recently about organic coffee
with coconut oil.

Food Dive writes about Café Whip, a
coconut whipped cream!
Rich’s Products Corporation
introduced the first whipped topping
made with coconut milk, according to
Perishable News. It contains coconut
milk, coconut oil and sunflower oil.

 The new topping, called Cafe Whip, is
vegan and kosher pareve. It is made with
sugar, has no hydrogenated oils, and is
lower fat than sweetened and flavored
heavy whipping cream.
 This coconut milk topping could have
many uses, but it was developed for
coffee shops.

Look for organic and you have a healthy
alternative to Coffee Mate.

Almond Milk

Almond milk is rich in vitamin B-12 as
well as vitamins A and D.

You can typically find this in the dairy
aisle or buy organic almonds and make
your own.

Soak the almonds overnight or up to 2 days
Drain and rinse the almonds
Combine the almonds and water in a blender
Blend at the highest speed for 2 minutes
Strain the almonds
Press all the almond milk from the almond
meal
Sweeten to taste
Refrigerate almond milk

Lactose Free Milk

And if your problem with drinking milk is a
lactose intolerance, like three fourths of
the people on earth, you can get organic
lactose free milk as an organic alternative
to Coffee Mate.

Also you can buy lactase tablets at the
drug store and take one with your coffee
with cream or milk, organic of course.

Organic Coffee

And if you are looking for an organic
alternative to Coffee Mate make sure that
your coffee is safe organic coffee.

Coffee used to be grown in the shade
and commonly in forested areas.
Historically the environment and spacing
out the coffee plants took care of much of
the problem of insects and plant
diseases. However, new coffee strains
were introduced which can grow in the
full sun.

This also erodes the soil and leaves
synthetic fertilizer residue in the coffee
bean. Crowding of plants brings about
more plant diseases and pests which
growers commonly treat with fungicides
and pesticides, which also end up on the
coffee bean.

Safe organic coffee, on the other hand is
grown and certified to be grown without
use of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic
fertilizers.
