☕ What’s Really In Your Creamer?

Here’s the deal: most store-bought creamers — even the “dairy-free” and “plant-based” ones — are loaded with ingredients that don’t belong in your body.

We’re talking:

  • 🌻 Sunflower oil (linked to inflammation)

  • 🧪 Gums and thickeners (gut disruptors)

  • 🌫 “Natural flavors” (aka code for mystery chemicals)

  • ❄️ Plus, most are ultra-pasteurized or shelf-stable, which kills off nutrients and flavor

If you’ve been bloated, breaking out, or just feeling off… and you drink coffee daily with one of these? Your creamer could be the problem.

But don’t panic — I’ve got swaps (and recipes) that are actually clean, hormone-friendly, and taste better than what’s in your fridge right now.
