Healthy Coffee Creamer
Description
Healthy Coffee Creamer is made by blending soaked raw almonds with filtered water, coconut oil, and optionally Medjool dates for sweetness. The mixture is blended until smooth and strained through a nut milk bag to remove solid pulp, resulting in a creamy, smooth liquid resembling dairy creamer.
The addition of coconut oil increases richness and body, emulating the texture of conventional creamers. When freshly made, the almond milk can produce a pleasant foam suitable for lattes or café au lait. Dates add natural sweetness, balancing the nut and coconut flavors.
This creamer stores in the fridge up to a week and offers a wholesome alternative to commercial creamers with fewer additives. Leftover almond pulp can be saved for use in baking or cooking, reducing waste.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond soaked 6-8 hours & rinsed well, raw
- 2 cups water filtered
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 or 2 Medjool dates (pitted; optional for sweetness)
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until very smooth and creamy.
- Position the nut milk bag over a large bowl, then pour the blender contents into the bag to strain.
- Squeeze well, until only dry almond pulp remains in the bag. (Reserve the leftover almond pulp for another recipe!)
- Transfer the almond milk to a sealed container, and store in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- Fresh almond milk creamer foams well for latte or cafe au lait when used immediately.
- Leftover almond pulp can be saved and repurposed in other recipes to minimize waste.
- Store creamer in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
