Do It Yourself! 3 Homemade Coffee Creamer Recipes
Over 50% of Americans over the age of 18 drink coffee daily (1). That’s over 150 million people enjoying a hot cup of coffee every day. The most common time to have coffee is not surprisingly, the morning, and over 30 million people enjoy specialty or flavored coffees, while 65% of Americans prefer a regular cup of joe with creamer.
Creamers come in all sorts of flavors, but many of them are packed with artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Making your own is not only healthier, but it can save money too. Here are some of our favorite creamer recipes.

It will keep up to two weeks in the fridge, or you can freeze it in individual portions and just pop one in your coffee whenever you’d like.
