Admittedly, it’s been a minute since I’ve published any new recipes here at HSITK. When I’ve previously taken a blogging-break it’s been because I lacked motivation or were other wise busy.

In this case I purposefully scheduled a break so that I could spend more, much needed time working on my own self care and I didn’t set a date to return, instead I promised that I would only come back when it authentically felt right.

Recipes like my BBQ Bacon Cheese Ball, Puff Pastry French Onion Soup Spirals, Easy Seafood Ceviche and Easy Keto Pork Rind Nachos were written MONTHS ago but were just published recently. Along with my 5 Reasons you should buy an inflatable hot tub post!

We’re nearly 1/2 way through February 2020 and I gotta tell you, I feel mentally better than I have in years. Much thanks to committing to more fasting and focusing my eating template on a high animal keto template (with a heavy nod to Carnivore).

My Keto Low-Carb Vanilla Coffee Creamer is a recipe that brought me back to the blog and got me behind my camera, again.

It’s also what gets me excited to get out of bed every morning!

How to make Keto Friendly Coffee Creamer

Making a homemade sugar-free coffee creamer is so easy! With just a few simple ingredients, shaken to combine is all it takes! This recipe is perfect for your keto diet with no added sugar and gluten-free.

Here’s what you need to make a Keto Vanilla Creamer:

• Half & Half – lower in carbs than whole milk with more keto friendly fats, half and half is the best option. Equal parts of heavy cream or heavy whipping cream and water can be used instead for even less carbs, but it won’t make a cappuccino or latte! If you are avoiding dairy you can swap in coconut cream or unsweetened almond milk but it will not froth like the original recipe.
• Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener – Any low carb sweetener can be used, but I promise THIS golden monk fruit is the BEST sugar-free alternative.
• Vanilla Extract – I use authentic Mexican Vanilla that I bring back with us from our annual vacation, choose the best quality you can find. You can also use different flavorings to suit your taste such as hazelnut extract, chocolate, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, peppermint extract, etc. The sky is the limit for variations to this keto creamer recipe!
• Sea Salt – A pinch of sea salt goes a long way to balance out the flavors, don’t skip it!=

Optional Additions to your Low Carb Coffee Creamer:

• MCT Oil Powder, (like coconut oil only supercharged) for more healthy fats (ie bulletproof coffee style)
• Collagen Peptides for skin/bone health and extra protein
• Grass-fed Butter or Ghee Powder, for more healthy fats (ie bulletproof coffee style)
• Pumpkin spice
• Cinnamon
• cocoa powder (for a mocha)

For a vegan or Dairy Free Keto Creamer, replace the half & half with almond milk, coconut milk.

How to Make a Keto Vanilla Latte

Here’s what’s the most amazing part of my sugar-free Creamer, it FROTHS up beautifully to make the perfect vanilla latte or cappuccino! (unlike other keto coffee creamers that just stay flat & boring)

Simply add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of this Keto Vanilla Coffee Creamer into a milk frother and watch the magic happen to the creamy texture.

I’ve been using THIS stainless steel, 2 part, dishwasher safe milk frother for 5 years. I’ve also tried nearly ever other comparable frother and none even come close to working as well AND pretty much ever other option has a toxic non-stick coating.

For the perfect latte I make a double shot of espresso in my Nespresso Vertuo Coffee Machine using these recyclable pods, you can just pour your frothed keto-friendly creamer your morning cup of Joe (aka black coffee) or used on top of iced coffee if you use the cold froth feature.

If you don’t have a frother you can heat your Keto Friendly Coffee Creamer in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk to incorporate air, it won’t be as-frothy but will be the best keto coffee creamers!

The biggest challenge is to not over indulge on too much caffeine when coffee tastes (and looks) this good!

For the full nutritional info, see the bottom of the recipe card for grams of carbs, gram of fat, grams of protein, etc.

Store your Keto Friendly Coffee Creamer in a mason jar or other jar in the fridge, it will keep for up to a week.
