Wake up to a better cup of coffee when you ditch the dairy and opt for vegan coffee creamers instead. Rich, smooth, and incredibly diverse, the days of chunky, curdled lattes are over. You don’t need to be a barista to craft gourmet coffee creations at home when you’ve got the very best non-dairy creamer waiting for you at home. Save your money and the animals by making this easy swap!
If you’re interested in saving a little money and would love to make your own coffee creamer at home, this vegan hazelnut coffee creamer is absolutely delicious!
Not all coffee whiteners are created equally. Legally, “non-dairy” coffee creamer can in fact contain dairy derivatives. Sodium caseinate is a component of milk used by some mainstream brands as an emulsifier, making these options neither vegan nor safe for those with dairy allergies. They can even be labeled as “lactose-free” while containing trace amounts of lactose! Always read labels carefully to avoid these pitfalls.
Many creamers have added flavors, like vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, and more, adding to a more luxurious coffee experience. These often have a sweetener included to create an instant latte, no other ingredients needed. If you’re sensitive to sugar, seek out unsweetened options. Many of these have a subtle, naturally sweet taste already, so you’ll never feel like you’re missing out.
You could easily try a different vegan creamer every day of the year and never taste even a quarter of all the options out there! Found right alongside conventional dairy creamers, plant-based alternatives take up an equal portion of the aisle these days. From shelf stable containers to fresh bottles, there’s a wealth of creamy goodness out there to suit every need.
Silk has been at the vanguard of dairy-free innovation since 1977 when the only milk alternative was soy. Since then, their product lines have expanded to include all sorts of plants. Their creamers are readily available in mainstream supermarkets, featuring oat, almond, and soy bases. There’s a flavor for every craving, too.
From cookie butter to mint chip, these unique varieties set Califia creamers apart from the pack. They have all the classics in stock too, using oats and almonds as the creamy foundations.
Crafted with organic coconut cream, choose from French vanilla and sweet & creamy for an easy coffee upgrade.
Don’t compromise your wellness just to soothe a craving; these creamers are vegan, keto-friendly, and offer many Whole 30-approved options, too. Even the sweetened flavors are still sugar-free!
Though you’ll still see their conventional dairy options on the same shelves, Chobani now has two lines of vegan creamers too. Double check that the cartons clearly state “plant-based” to avoid disappointment.
Blending health with high-end indulgence, these clean-label creamers are worth every penny. Buy online and stock up because these cartons are shelf stable at room temperature until opened.

Good news! Coffee Mate recently came out with a new line of specifically plant-based, dairy-free creamers called Natural Bliss. They’re made with either almonds or oats and come in five flavors in all. As the single most popular brand of coffee creamers in the US, you can expect to find these options nationwide in Target, Walmart, and more.
No, none of the coffee creamers made by International Delight qualify as vegan, as they all contain sodium caseinate.
Absolutely, any sort of vegan milk will work in a pinch. Plain dairy alternatives will be more watery and less sweet though, so you won’t get that same rich texture or bold flavor. Additionally, bear in mind that some options may curdle in acidic liquids, AKA coffee.
