Coffee creamers are a popular way to make your home-brewed coffee more flavorful. However, if you are not careful, they can also add a lot of sugar and artificial ingredients to your diet. This does not necessarily mean you need to switch completely over and only drink black coffee.
With that in mind, keep reading for the one creamer you should never use because it causes instant weight gain!
Certain coffee creamers can make your morning drink more fattening. Specifically, many popular brands use corn syrup and artificial sweeteners that can hurt your overall health and lead to weight gain.
Plus, many store brought coffee creamers contain hydrogenated oil, which is meant to help increase the shelf life of the product. Hydrogenated oil contains trans fats, and it can lead to serious health problems.
With that in mind, if you are not up for checking the ingredients, staying away from pre-made creamers at the grocery store is a good idea. Otherwise, you could be adding unhealthy and artificial ingredients to your diet without even realizing it.
Instead, try sticking to healthy coffee creamers that can help you stay on track for weight loss. In fact, many brands even offer collagen protein creamers now, which can boost your protein intake and improve your health.
If you are up for changing your at-home coffee order, try adding some almond or coconut milk to your coffee instead. For a hint of sweet, add some cinnamon, stevia, or vanilla extract.
