Vanilla Coffee Creamer
One of the most frequent struggles folks new to keto have is giving up commercial coffee creamer. After fielding nearly daily questions about what to use, I decided to create a low carb option. Honestly this creamer turned out even better than I imagined. It reminds me of sweetened condensed milk. It's very concentrated because it's meant for coffee, so don't go dipping your spoon in it!
