The hardest part of making the transition to a primal diet is cutting out dairy. I still eat cheese but I am trying to cut dairy out entirely. So, now I need to find a substitute for milk/cream in my coffee. I drink a ton of coffee and I have tried many times using almond milk, hazelnut milk and coconut creamer. Unfortunately, nothing sticks. I just can't get the right creaminess with nut milk and though the coconut creamer at the store is very close to half'n'half, it has sugar in it and still has too strong of a coconut taste.
Well, I may have finally figured it out. It is very simple but it gets the job done without added sugar or an overly strong coconut flavor. I use about 3 spoonfuls to get the color above.
Coconut coffee creamer
1 can organic coconut milk/cream (never light)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
sweeten with stevia extract to taste
Empty the entire can of coconut milk/cream into a blender or bullet and whip it all together with your vanilla and stevia extract. Store in a container (in the fridge) that you can spoon the creamer out of; otherwise it will solidify in a pourable container and you will not be able to pour it out.
