If you've gone keto, you know that pretty much everything can be keto-ified—you can even give dessert a keto makeover if you're creative enough. Bulletproof coffee is one of those keto staples, but what about the coffee creamer to go with? Here's what you need to know.
What is a ketogenic, or "keto" diet?
Keto describes a low-carb diet, which means that instead of getting your energy from carbohydrates, you get it from protein and fat. It's essentially a diet that cuts back on the carbs that are most easy to digest, such as sugary drinks, milk, pasta, and white bread. The thinking is that instead, the body relies on ketone bodies, which the liver produces from stored fat. It usually takes a person a few days of eating "keto" to achieve a state of ketosis.
What makes a coffee creamer keto-friendly?
If you aren't familiar with keto, or maybe just starting out, it can be a little difficult to tell just what makes something keto-friendly. It's important to scope out ingredient lists, and choose products that include a high amount of saturated fat derived from things like palm and coconut oil, lard, butter, and cocoa butter. It's also key to steer clear of products with a ton of sugar.
Most dairy-based creamers aren't keto-friendly—traditional milk is high in carbs—so non-dairy alternatives are your best bet. Read on for 14 store-bought keto-friendly coffee creamers to help keep your mornings on track.

How we picked these products
Since the keto diet places an emphasis on low-carb, high-protein foods, we looked up and down the internet for some of the lowest-carb coffee creamers. We also found a few with added protein and other minerals, and paid close attention to sugar content, fat content, and calories. We also made sure to pick products with little to no artificial flavors, additives, or preservatives.
Here are the 14 best keto-friendly coffee creamers out there.
Califia Farms Better Half Coffee Creamer, Unsweetened
Pros
- Good for lactose-sensitive drinkers
Cons
- Clumpy even after shaking
This is keto-friendly, but it's also dairy-free, Whole30-compliant, and vegan, too—leaving almost nothing to be desired here. One buyer said it even saved her dairy-free diet: "I tried so many when I went dairy free and hated them all. I was about to quit trying until I found this one."
Prymal Coffee Creamer Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer
Pros
- Inexpensive
Cons
- Doesn't always mix well in coffee
This salted caramel creamer will give your coffee the sweet taste of a Dunkin' or Starbucks beverage, without the sugary syrups and add-ins. What's better, the line makes so many other cool flavors, like Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Butter Pecan, Cinnamon Dolce, and Speculoos Cookie Dough—and they're all gluten-free. "No other keto creamer compares to the flavors that Prymal comes out with," wrote one reviewer.
Califia Farms Almond Milk Coffee Creamer with Coconut Cream, Unsweetened
Pros
- Nutty, robust flavor with few calories
Cons
- Can be lumpy, even after shaking
Laird Superfood Superfood Creamer, Unsweetened
Pros
- No added sugars
- Packed with nutrients
Cons
- Slightly artificial after taste
Superstar surfer—and self-professed keto diet fan—Laird Hamilton created a line of superfood-packed powder creamers. Unlike many celebrity-made products, this certainly lives up to the hype! They're packed with so many nutrients and minerals that one reviewer even trusts it for her "16-year old arthritic dog's breakfast and dinner." Lucky dog!
Divine Health Keto Zone Dr. Colbert M.D. MCT Oil Powder, French Vanilla
Pros
- Dissolves easily
Cons
It's insanely hard to find good keto creamers that are flavored, but this one hits the mark. And the unflavored version is sugar and gluten free, making it great for anyone with gluten or sugar sensitivities. Shoppers love it too; one reviewer confirmed that "a scoop of this does the trick and helps keep [them] in ketosis."
Pros
- Mixes with coffee well
Cons
- Not great for sensitive stomachs
You've probably heard of Bulletproof coffee; it's just coffee mixed with butterfat and "octane oil," which the company describes as coconut-based. This on-the-go keto creamer has both. Reviewers praise it for the "energy" and "decreased hunger" it brings, though others cautioned those "prone to gas and bloating."
Pros
- Very low-fat
Cons
- Made with cashews
This stuff has half the sugar of a traditional coffee creamer but all of the delicious taste. While cashews themselves are not recommended for a keto diet due to their carb content, this cashew milk contains less than half a gram of it per tablespoon. One reviewer described it as "super creamy," and "great in cereal and coffee", adding that "this is the only nut milk [she] will buy."
Pros
- Sugar-free
Cons
- Watery
This liquid, keto-approved creamer comes in several flavors. All of them have 6 grams of fat and zero added sugars per serving (it uses monkfruit as a sweetener instead). Amazon shoppers are calling it "truly super" and "What Keto Coffee Dreams Are Made Of".
Peak Performance Grass Fed Non-Dairy Collagen Creamer
Pros
- Packed with nutrients
Cons
- A "caloric trade-off"
Milkadamia Unsweetened Vanilla Macadamia Milk
Pros
- Completely plant-based
Cons
- Thin consistency
Made with keto-friedly macadamia nuts, this creamer is a wonderful alternative for anyone who's bored of the usual coconut or almond milk-based alternatives. The flavor is great, and it has no added sugars. "We rotate between different plant milks, but this one we pretty much always return to," said one buyer.
Pros
- Great for both keto and paleo
Cons
- Very small jar for the price
Sourced from small family farms, Pure Indian Foods makes a creamer from a unique blend of grass-fed organic cultured ghee and energizing MCT oil. "I rarely take time out to review products but I just couldn't [believe] how great this stuff tastes," an Amazon reviewer raved. "I am a first-time user of ghee and butter in my coffee but I did not expect for my coffee to come out so frothy and delicious."
Pros
- Four cartons per pack
Cons
- A little on the watery side
All three flavors boast no added sugar and no carbs, yet are flavorful enough to make this reviewer's coffee "taste like a dessert."
"They suit all my desires for a creamer that was unsweetened and fat free," they added.
Pros
- Flavor palates blend perfectly
Cons
- Thin, oily consistency
The original flavor is spiked with cacao. Get "Naked" if you want a truly plain coconut-y creamer. Pro tip from one reviewer: Freeze this coffee creamer in ice cube trays before using for a less messy way to add it to your coffee.
Pros
- Doesn't curdle in coffee
Cons
- Very sweet
- Chalky aftertaste
Not only will you get a long of bang for your buck, but this powdered creamer boasts a perfect five stars. "Many brands do not dissolve well in coffee," one Walmart shopper said. "This one does and tastes great."
