Same atm, but I’m feeling adventurous so I’ve decided to branch out. I’m thinking heavy whipping cream (thx Bioemerl) with a wee kick of honey to start. maybe see what vanilla extract will do…
Eating high saturated fats like those found in heavy cream isn’t a great idea on the daily. It can raise your cholesterol decently which can lead to build up in your arteries.
Low carb diets like that are probably fine short term but it’s not something you want to be on continuously due to the fat.
It's clear you care, so thank you =) Without going down a rabbit hole (I mean if you want to, we can lol), in my particular case the opposite worked. Yes my cholesterol is high, but due to the specifics of my diet, it's all HDL and very little LDL, so I'm golden. I also no longer have atherosclerosis and a zero calcium score.(yay!)
I think humankind still has much to learn about ourselves.
Oh man that’s great! Congrats!! Always amazing to overcome health challenges like that.
Yeah I agree lol, I mean who knows what half of this processed stuff is doing to us. Might be causing the rapidly falling fertility across the world given that microplastics have been found in wombs :(
This is what got me on my breve latte kick. I did keto and started drinking lattes with only heavy cream. SO HEAVY, but allowed on keto, and also keeps you full. Eventually switched to breve (half and half instead of straight cream/lard).
Heavy whipping cream in coffee is such an indulgent game-changer. I thought, how could it be that different from half-and-half? But it truly is something special.
Whole milk works great, and makes my cereal more filling too. If I buy a creamer, I tend to get one made of oat milk because it tends to last a bit longer in the fridge than real milk once opened. Califia has a fairly fun cinnamon one.
Coffee Mate pumpkin spice is/was my lifeblood. They made it all year long in 2022, so I was enjoying it through spring and summer. Now, I’m impatiently awaiting fall so I can finally get it back.
I used to use Coffee Mate but I’ve started making my own coffee syrups from scratch using water, sugar, and vanilla bean paste. A splash of syrup + milk beats creamer by a mile.
By any chance have you noticed it curdling at all in your coffee? We tried a non dairy creamer and it tasted good but it curdled a little bit. I think there was even a warning on the label that said it could do that.
Whatever’s on sale that isn’t Nestle. Ideally something dairy free. During the holidays though, International Delight has a sugar cookie flavored creamer that is incredible.
I usually drink my coffee with nothing in it, unless its cheap/bad (IE: Keurig). For that, I usually use a little bit of Chobani Vanilla Creamer. I find that this Chobani one tastes the best compared to any other Vanilla creamer I can get at my stores.
