These Keto Coffee Creamers Are A Morning Game Changer (2024)

If you've gone keto, you know that pretty much everything can be keto-ified—you can even give dessert a keto makeover if you're creative enough. Bulletproof coffee is one of those keto staples, but what about the coffee creamer to go with? Here's what you need to know.

What is a ketogenic, or "keto" diet?

Keto describes a low-carb diet, which means that instead of getting your energy from carbohydrates, you get it from protein and fat. It's essentially a diet that cuts back on the carbs that are most easy to digest, such as sugary drinks, milk, pasta, and white bread. The thinking is that instead, the body relies on ketone bodies, which the liver produces from stored fat. It usually takes a person a few days of eating "keto" to achieve a state of ketosis.

How we picked these products

Since the keto diet places an emphasis on low-carb, high-protein foods, we looked up and down the internet for some of the lowest-carb coffee creamers. We also found a few with added protein and other minerals, and paid close attention to sugar content, fat content, and calories. We also made sure to pick products with little to no artificial flavors, additives, or preservatives.

Here are the 14 best keto-friendly coffee creamers out there.

This is keto-friendly, but it's also dairy-free, Whole30-compliant, and vegan, too—leaving almost nothing to be desired here. One buyer said it even saved her dairy-free diet: "I tried so many when I went dairy free and hated them all. I was about to quit trying until I found this one."

This salted caramel creamer will give your coffee the sweet taste of a Dunkin' or Starbucks beverage, without the sugary syrups and add-ins. What's better, the line makes so many other cool flavors, like Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Butter Pecan, Cinnamon Dolce, and Speculoos Cookie Dough—and they're all gluten-free. "No other keto creamer compares to the flavors that Prymal comes out with," wrote one reviewer.

There are only 10 calories per tablespoon of this stuff. It's been described as "addictive," and one shopper even said they "drank this like bourbon."

Superstar surfer—and self-professed keto diet fan—Laird Hamilton created a line of superfood-packed powder creamers. Unlike many celebrity-made products, this certainly lives up to the hype! They're packed with so many nutrients and minerals that one reviewer even trusts it for her "16-year old arthritic dog's breakfast and dinner." Lucky dog!

It's insanely hard to find good keto creamers that are flavored, but this one hits the mark. And the unflavored version is sugar and gluten free, making it great for anyone with gluten or sugar sensitivities. Shoppers love it too; one reviewer confirmed that "a scoop of this does the trick and helps keep [them] in ketosis."

You've probably heard of Bulletproof coffee; it's just coffee mixed with butterfat and "octane oil," which the company describes as coconut-based. This on-the-go keto creamer has both. Reviewers praise it for the "energy" and "decreased hunger" it brings, though others cautioned those "prone to gas and bloating."

This stuff has half the sugar of a traditional coffee creamer but all of the delicious taste. While cashews themselves are not recommended for a keto diet due to their carb content, this cashew milk contains less than half a gram of it per tablespoon. One reviewer described it as "super creamy," and "great in cereal and coffee", adding that "this is the only nut milk [she] will buy."

This liquid, keto-approved creamer comes in several flavors. All of them have 6 grams of fat and zero added sugars per serving (it uses monkfruit as a sweetener instead). Amazon shoppers are calling it "truly super" and "What Keto Coffee Dreams Are Made Of".

Collagen is good for your joints, hair, and nails—and it's keto-friendly. One reviewer loved this for its "subtle coconut flavor", adding that they would "buy this product for life."

Made with keto-friedly macadamia nuts, this creamer is a wonderful alternative for anyone who's bored of the usual coconut or almond milk-based alternatives. The flavor is great, and it has no added sugars. "We rotate between different plant milks, but this one we pretty much always return to," said one buyer.

Sourced from small family farms, Pure Indian Foods makes a creamer from a unique blend of grass-fed organic cultured ghee and energizing MCT oil. "I rarely take time out to review products but I just couldn't [believe] how great this stuff tastes," an Amazon reviewer raved. "I am a first-time user of ghee and butter in my coffee but I did not expect for my coffee to come out so frothy and delicious."

The original flavor is spiked with cacao. Get "Naked" if you want a truly plain coconut-y creamer. Pro tip from one reviewer: Freeze this coffee creamer in ice cube trays before using for a less messy way to add it to your coffee.

Not only will you get a long of bang for your buck, but this powdered creamer boasts a perfect five stars. "Many brands do not dissolve well in coffee," one Walmart shopper said. "This one does and tastes great."
