Vanilla Coffee Creamer - Healthier Substitute?

Question

My boyfriend LOVES the french vanilla flavored non-dairy coffee creamer you get in the dairy section. Upon realizing that it is pretty unhealthy and wanting to eat better he has stopped using it in his morning coffee. But, now he says he doesn't like drinking his coffee anymore and is bummed. Is there an organic or healthier version out there. He has tried soy milk, rice milk and agave nectar and is not happy with any of them.

Answer 1

take some vanilla powder and put a 1/4 tsp in with the coffee grounds and brew as usually. Than put cream or half and half and you will have French vanilla flavor. You can also buy coffee that is already flavored with French vanilla flavoring and add cream to that. Flavored coffees are very nice.

Use organic half and half as non organic has almost as many bad additives as the non-dairy creamers

Answer 2

milk and vanilla extract. i even use the hazelnut syrup.

Answer 3

Here is an alcohol and gluten free vanilla powder perfect for coffee. It's the same stuff Starbucks uses.

Answer 4

Is it because of all the sugar and chemicals in the non-dairy creamer or is it because of the calories? If he doesn't mind the calories, try Half&Half coffee creamer (in teh dairy section) and add some vanilla extract or french vanilla extract to the creamer.
