Is non-dairy coffee creamer better for you? Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward answer to this question. Non-dairy creamers may have less saturated fat than traditional half-and-half, but they also tend to have more added sugar and other food additives.

Almond milk tastes great in coffee. The only potential downside to adding almond milk to your morning brew is it often curdles due to the acidity and temperature. However, if you wait to add the almond milk until your coffee cools down a bit, the almond milk won't curdle nearly as much. What matters most is the taste.

Emulsifying a bit of coconut oil into homemade almond milk creates a thick and creamy result, that actually makes you feel like you're drinking a traditional coffee creamer.

To make a heavy cream substitute with almond milk, we recommend adding soaked nuts or vegan butter, or plain silken tofu to get the right texture. Add sweeteners as desired to replicate the taste in sweet recipes.

Compared to animal milk, unsweetened almond milk – but not the sweetened kind – is low in sugars and carbohydrates. It has 50% to 80% fewer calories than dairy milk. It's considered a low glycemic index food. This means it's less likely to cause blood sugar spikes.

Many healthy coffee creamers have no added oils or gums. Three of the brands on our list — Elmhurst, So Delicious, and Chobani® — fall into that category. Two other options include nutpods' dairy-free creamer and this pistachio crème oat creamer from Elmhurst.

Protein and Fat: Half and half typically contains more protein and healthy fats than almond milk creamer, which can be beneficial for satiety and maintaining muscle mass. Additives: Half and half is usually free from the additives and thickeners found in many almond milk creamers, such as carrageenan or gums.

There's a scientific reason why milk curdles in tea and coffee. Coffee is acidic and, when it's hot and strong, it can split the components of plant-based and nut milk, separating the water content from all of the solid protein and fats.

Carrageenan is a thickening agent that is often added to almond milk and other non-dairy milks to improve texture and stability. However, some studies have suggested that carrageenan may cause inflammation in the gut, which can lead to a variety of health problems.

How do you keep almond milk from curdling in coffee? ›

The coffee has a higher pH than plant milk so if you add the plant milk to the coffee it may curdle on contact. If you slowly add the coffee to (warm) plant milk the pH will slowly increase and be less likely to curdle.

The consistency of your almond milk can also be an indicator of spoilage. The introduction of bacteria or yeast (think fermentation) can cause the milk to thicken or curdle.

The nutritional differences between both are pretty minor, but almond milk is lower in carbs and calories, making it a better choice if you're looking to lose weight or keep blood sugar levels steady. On the other hand, oat milk has a creamy consistency that works especially well in smoothies or lattes.

Even though non-dairy creamers appear to be dairy-free, many non-dairy creamers contain casein protein, which comes from cow's milk, according to the Center for Young Women's Health. Stomach cramping after ingesting non-dairy creamers might be related to a milk or soy allergy.
