I discovered this product years ago, and its been a staple in my coffee routine ever since.

Heres why it has a permanent place on my grocery list.

This coffee creamer is a non-dairy option, so its suitable for vegans and people withlactose intoleranceor dairy allergies.

And though its made from oats, which are commonly contaminated with gluten, its alsogluten-free.

However, no dairy doesnt mean no flavor.

Its thicker than regular oat milk but thinner thanhalf-and-half.

Still, its plenty creamy in coffee and froths up nicely.

Its not Trader Joes only non-dairy creamer, but it is their best.

Made in part with coconut milk, the coconut flavor dominates so you dont get much of the vanilla.

In a blind taste test, youd probably know it was a plant-based alternative.

The former has an artificial taste to it, so its less pleasant and surprisingly less creamy.

You could even useinstant espressofor barista-worthy drinks on a budget.

Whether you take your coffee hot or iced, this coffee creamer will jazz it up.

The brown sugar flavor is somewhat cozy, so I prefer it in hot coffee.

But some shoppers say the carton is too small, making the price-per-serving less than ideal.

Watch Out for the Sugar Content

Its sweetsome would even say its too sweet.

And one look at the nutrition facts explains why.

Each tablespoon contains 4 grams ofadded sugar.

In moderation, thats not really a big deal.

Some Redditorswish Trader Joes would use less sugar or release a sugar-free version.

But this product helped me realize that brown sugar creamer or brown sugar lattes are actually my favorite.

So I may be biased, but I think the OG brown sugar flavor cant be beat.

Still, its fun to try new flavors of this creamer as Trader Joes releases them.
