Vanilla Coffee Creamer

I’ve been wanting to officially break up with my love for artificial coffee creamer for years, but never found a recipe that replaced the delicious creaminess that only those darn chemicals seemed to provide. HOWEVER! I finally found the “one” and I want to share it with you today. This recipe is FOUR ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make.

Now I will warn you, I’m a big advocate for whole foods - that includes whole milk and heavy cream. I’m not afraid of fat - never have been, never will be, and you don’t need to be either! In fact, I notice I’m way less jittery after my coffee when I use this creamer versus the artificial ones.

One batch usually lasts me the week - be sure to shake it up each time before adding it to your coffee! I love that I’ve finally eliminated the artificial flavorings and fillers that I used to consume - every.single.day. in my coffee. CHEERS, FRIENDS!
