nutpodsCreamer Unsweet Caramel 11.2 FO

I was looking for an unsweetened, organic vegan creamer in a small size, and this was perfect. I also love that it’s available in so many other flavors (try the Toasted Coconut!)I just wish they made this size in a “regular,” non-creamer version, without the thickener ingredients. I buy almond, coconut, and soy milk for other uses, but I can never get through a standard 32 oz. Tetrapak within 1 week of opening, which is what the labels always recommend.

Having to leave dairy behind, and off sugar to boot, I didn’t know how I would live without half and half in my coffee. Thank you unsweetened nut pods in your variety of flavors and similar mouth feel to 1/2 and 1/2. Each flavor is distinctly unique and while admittedly not as creamy as my beloved half and half, this is the best coffee creamer I’ve found and I’ve tried them all. No dairy no sugar? This is the jackpot!

UPDATE: In my original review I was happy and excited to have found a natural non-dairy alternative. However, I am now updating my review and have downgraded my experience to one star. The reason? This supposedly ‘natural’ and chemical additive free’ alternative is not chemically free afterall. After several weeks of using this product with my one cup a day morning coffee, I began to experience intense all body itching. I know my body well enough to have realized this was an over active immune response to something I’d either had close contact with or that I’d ingested. Trial and error and researching lead me to the very questionable ingredient in this product - dispotassium phosphate. This is a man made chemical that is becoming more frequently used in dairy and non-dairy products. It acts as an emulsifier to keep, especially non-dairy products, from separating and/or curdling when combined with hot acidic beverages like coffee or tea. Interestingly, this helpful man-made chemical is also used in fertilizer. And is known to cause serious kidney issues when heavily consumed. I had all over itching with only one cup of coffee and this product, per day for several weeks. The government rates this as safe because a person won’t experience immediate death but they don’t factor in slow health degradation. Once I stopped using this product in my coffee, the itching stopped. As much as I wish otherwise, I’ll be drinking my coffee black for the foreseeable future since I don’t feel I can trust a food industry to be concerned with my long-term health. This is my personal experience with this product and my personal opinion. Please do your own research and wellness checks when making your purchase choices. If someone else can consume this without ever feeling unwell, I’m happy to know your body can metabolize this ingredient without any negative effects.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I’ve tried several dairy alternatives for my morning coffee and have remained underwhelmed in the experience. Too many chemicals and unrecognizable ingredients, thickeners, additives with either very thin, watery texture or bland but overly sweet flavor. If not for a sudden intense food intolerance, I would never have even considered dairy alternatives to begin with. This product was a last ditch effort before resigning myself to a morning ritual of just plain black coffee. Nothing can replace the decadence of dairy with its creamy, rich slightly sweet flavor in coffee, but this comes very close to replicating my quiet enjoyment to start my day.

Trying to avoid dairy so this is a decent choice

This has been helpful to me kicking sugar. It is the only sweet product I use (except monkfruit for baking) and it is satisfying. My favorite is Toasted Marshmallow but it is seasonal. Caramel is great.

I know everyone has different tastes but personally I did not care for the flavor at all. The nut flavor was overpowering. Small size for the price. Would not buy again.

I think the taste of this off-putting, rather than enhancing it, it kind of ruins my drink. In terms of creaminess, and it's funtion as creamer it's fine. Maybe I'm not into caramel, but I wouldn't buy it again.
