I have a bulletproof coffee every morning and I always add a little MCT oil and collagen plus a splash of cream, but the dairy just doesn’t sit right with my body. The problem is, most store-bought and homemade nut milk is too thin, and it just doesn’t have that same yummy creaminess. It’s quite the dilemma for those of us whose mornings depend of this! So, I created the solution to our problem: a dairy-free creamer that is rich but makes you feel good in all the right ways.
It’s almond milk, but thicker. This creamer/almond milk uses more nuts, less water, a pinch of salt, and a needs a good blender. I’m in love. It’s thick creamer for your morning rituals, anytime you want that creaminess in your beverage, in your Hot Chocolate, or even over cereal. Let me know where you add it in to your day in the comments below!
My favorite products for this recipe (Not sponsored, just love them!):
- Premier Research Labs Pink Salt: tons of minerals for healthy cell function. This is a great finishing/cold recipe salt, not really made for high heat cooking. Premier Pink Salt is a blend of two premium, untreated, solar-dried sea salts which deliver critical trace elements. The two salts are Mediterranean Sea Salt and Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt, which gives it the pink color. Here is a similar one on Amazon Prime: Terrasoul Himalayan Pink Salt
- Reusable Nut Milk Strainer Bags: Reusable nut milk bags are great because you can wash them out and use them again and again, making them very cheap and sustainable! These bags I have linked to are a 2-pack of organic cotton bags, so they won’t leach BPA or chemicals into your creamer. These can be used for juices, nut milk, or cheese too! You can get these on Amazon, or similar ones at many grocery stores, even Bed, Bath & Beyond!
