The One Thing No One Should Be Adding To Their Coffee Anymore Because It’s SO Bad For You

The aisles of your local supermarket house a wide variety of coffee creamers; from classic half-and-half to more extravagant flavors like french vanilla, gingerbread, and cinnamon bun. The problem with these sweet creamer options is they’re loaded with artificial ingredients and added sugars. These flavored syrups or dairy products are loaded with fake sugars and other processed ingredients--AKA chemicals.

But that’s not the only thing you have to watch out for. Flavored creamers are loaded with sugar. If you read the label of your favorite creamers you’ll find they contain anywhere from 6 to 40 grams of sugar per tablespoon. To put that into perspective for you, the daily recommended intake is capped at 25 grams. That means just two tablespoons of even the low-sugar options puts you at half of your day’s allowance.

Now, we’re not recommending you drink your coffee black but you should opt for healthier alternatives to sweeten up your coffee. Try a splash of almond, coconut, or oat milk to lighten it up or even add a pinch or two of cinnamon in your cup for flavor.
