Top 8 Vegan Coffee Creamer Substitutes | Dairy-Free & Plant-Based Options

Choosing the Right Vegan Creamer

Plant-based diets are booming and coffee lovers everywhere are searching for healthier, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional creamers. In this guide, we explore the top 8 types of vegan coffee creamers (from "a" to "...x"), provide tips on choosing the best creamer for your lifestyle, and highlight how JOI offers nutrient-rich, sustainable options. 

The Rise of Vegan Coffee Creamers

In a world where every sip and bite counts towards our health and the planet's well-being, choosing the right coffee creamer is more than a mere preference—it's a statement. For those venturing into veganism or avoiding dairy, the quest for the perfect non-dairy creamer can feel daunting.

Fear not—here’s your guide through plant-based milk creamers, each offering unique flavors and benefits to elevate your coffee without compromise. 

The Cream of the Crop: Exploring Your Options

If you're thinking about exploring different vegan creamer options, let's start by considering each one in its best light:

  • Almond Milk Creamers: Versatile, creamy, slightly sweet.

  • Coconut Milk Creamers: Tropical and creamy.

  • Cashew Milk: Luxuriously smooth and subtly sweet.

  • Oat Milk Creamers: Slightly nutty, barista-quality.

  • Rice Milk Creamers: Light and delicate.

  • Soy Milk Creamers: Robust, thick, protein-rich.

  • Hemp Milk: Nutty and quick to dissolve.

  • Flax Milk: Neutral taste, Omega 3 benefits.

How to Choose Your Vegan Creamer

Consider taste, texture, added nutrients, allergen-free formulas, and sustainability.

Clean-label concentrates like JOI oat creamers are made with purposeful ingredients and packaged for sustainability. If you use JOI pastes for your creamer, you can customize your creamer to your liking and control all ingredients.

Why Choose JOI’s Vegan Creamers?

At JOI, your coffee ritual is sacred. Our plant-based milk concentrates are crafted to honor that ritual (yum!) while nurturing your health (clean label!) and the planet (sustainable!). 

From almond to oat, JOI ensures every sip is creamy, wholesome, and sustainable. Explore our complete range of vegan creamers and elevate your daily coffee. Want to learn more? Here one dietitian explains why JOI's creamer formulation is better for your gut. 

Customizable Creaminess with JOI’s Shelf-Stable Bases

Unlike many store-bought creamers that come with a fixed flavor and a laundry list of additives, JOI empowers you to create your perfect coffee experience. Our almond and cashew concentrates are shelf-stable pastes that you can prep to your liking and blend seamlessly into coffee. That means that you can customize creaminess, sweetness, and flavor to your liking. Add your favorite natural sweeteners or enjoy them unsweetened—the choice is yours.

JOI’s oat creamers, available in Original, French Vanilla, and Hazelnut, take plant-based creaminess to the next level. What makes them special? We’ve carefully formulated them with avocado oil and MCT oil, healthy fats that create a rich, velvety mouthfeel without the inflammatory seed oils and artificial additives common in many grocery store creamers. These premium oils not only improve texture but also provide clean energy and better nutrient absorption. And that's just the beginning!

Sustainability Beyond Dairy-Free

Switching from dairy to plant-based creamers already lowers your environmental impact. But JOI pushes sustainability further with our concentrates and eco-friendly packaging. By shipping only the essentials (nut or oat bases), you add water at home, dramatically reducing packaging waste and carbon emissions associated with transporting bulky liquid creamers.

Every spoonful of JOI is a step toward a more sustainable coffee ritual.
