Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Not fat free. I don't THINK any creamers are fat free, although I won't use any with "artificials", and maybe some of those are fat free and vegan. This is one of the areas I compromise on--not quite ready to give it up yet. I use either Silk brand soy creamer or So Delicious coconut creamer. Both are very good,and are vegan, but again--not fat free. Marilyn traciabyington <traciabyington Tue, Feb 23, 2010 8:28 pm Soy Creamer Hello, just looking for a good soy creamer product. Anyone??

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I thought So Delicious was fat free. It says it is on the carton. I hope I haven't been buying something that is not what it says it is. Can you let me know why it isn't when it says it is? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Toni--IS it fat free? I haven't bought it in a few weeks (it's hard to find where I live), and I guess I simply assumed a coconut based creamer would not be fat free. Oops! My bad. Thanks for that correction!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 According to the nutrition label (for the original flavor) there are apparently, no calories from fat per 1 tablespoon serving. In the US if there is less than 0.5 gram of fat per serving they are allowed to say there is zero fat. That's why often you will see products with absurdly small serving sizes, so they can get the " serving " to have less than 0,5 grams. See the nutrition label for Pam cooking spray, which is very nearly 100% canola oil, yet claims to have no fat -- they've made the serving size 1/3 of a second spray. Who has ever used a 1/3 second spray? Anyway, I don't use creamer so I don't know if 1 tablespoon is a reasonable serving size or not, but I routinely see people pouring larger amounts than that in their coffee. Obviously, if you use more than 1 tablespoon you'll need to do the math accordingly. Jeff Novick has a discussion of the issue with information on how to read a nutrition label. Jeff's rule number one is to never, ever believe any claims made on the package. Because they lie. Debbie Toni wrote: I thought So Delicious was fat free. It says it is on the carton.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Silk creamer is very, very good. The So Delicious one is thinner (I think) but really just as good. I've used the artificial ones, too, but no longer could justify using chemicals in my diet when I was trying so hard to eat better. It didn't make sense to me. But I still do get tempted by some of those gourmet flavors!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yes, I know what you mean about justifyng the chemicals. It pains me to think that coffee isn't great either. I am just not prepared to give that up yet. I know it's suppose to be addictive but truly I like the taste, the warmth and of course the perfect creamer. It is Silk that I am drinking and although it is a bit sweet..............goodbye Coffee Mate!--- On Wed, 2/24/10, sahmomof9 <sahmomof9 wrote: sahmomof9 <sahmomof9Re: Re: Soy Creamer Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 9:55 PM Silk creamer is very, very good.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I use almond milk in my coffee. It has 2.5 grams of fat per 8 oz, so while it is not fat free it still has much less most soy creamers. Plus, the amount of fat will be reduced if you only use a few tablespoons of almond milk in a cup of coffee. It tastes good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have not tried almond milk in place of soy creamer. What a great idea! That suggestion may help some of the people looking for vegan flavored creamers. I think you could add a little almond extract too.
