Why Choose JOI Oat Creamer: A Healthier Alternative to Traditional Coffee Creamers
For coffee enthusiasts who want to start their day with a health-conscious choice, the search for the perfect creamer ends with JOI Oat Creamer.
Unlike traditional creamers (think Coffee Mate and even other plant-based brands like Oatly, NutPods and Laird), JOI’s Oat Creamer is powered by JOIBlend™, a proprietary blend of natural ingredients designed to support your health from the inside out.
Let's explore why JOIBlend™ is a game-changer for your morning brew.
The Health Benefits of JOIBlend™ in JOI Oat Creamers
JOIBlend™ is at the core of JOI’s Oat Creamer products, including Original, French Vanilla, and Hazelnut. What sets JOIBlend™ apart is the thoughtful inclusion of ingredients that promote gut health, heart health, and overall well-being:
-
Prebiotics and Gut Health: The gluten-free organic oats in JOIBlend™ are packed with prebiotic fiber, which nourishes the good bacteria in your gut. Prebiotics, such as those found in oats, help maintain a balanced microbiome, supporting digestion, immunity, and even mental health.
-
Healthy Fats: Avocado oil and MCT oil in JOIBlend™ offer monounsaturated fats and medium-chain triglycerides. These healthy fats are quickly absorbed and used for energy, bypassing some liver metabolism. They also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, supporting heart health. No inflammatory seed oils in sight!
-
Soluble Fiber for Smooth Digestion: Natural fibers like soluble tapioca fiber and pectin fiber provide a creamy texture while also feeding beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a healthy digestive system.
-
Calcium Supplementation: Calcium carbonate, an easily absorbed form of calcium, is included to support bone health, ensuring you get essential minerals without relying on dairy products.
How Does JOIBlend™ Compare to Other Coffee Creamers?
When comparing JOI Oat Creamer with options like Coffee Mate, Oatly, NutPods or Laird, the differences are clear.
JOIBlend™ is a natural, health-forward alternative that avoids the artificial additives and unhealthy ingredients that many other creamers rely on. Let's look more closely:
1. Coffee Mate: Laden with Unhealthful Additives
Coffee Mate has long been a staple in many households, but a closer look at its ingredients reveals several concerns:
-
Corn Syrup Solids: High in sugar, corn syrup solids (i.e., dehydrated corn syrup) can lead to spikes in blood sugar, contributing to insulin resistance, obesity, and even diabetes over time.
-
Partially Hydrogenated Oils: Once a primary source of trans fats, these oils increase the risk of heart disease by raising bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowering good cholesterol (HDL).
-
Artificial Emulsifiers and Preservatives: Coffee Mate uses ingredients like mono- and diglycerides, which can contribute to gut inflammation and disrupt your microbiome, leading to digestive discomfort.
2. Oatly: Not Without Issues
While Oatly has positioned itself as a healthier, plant-based creamer, it also has a major drawback:
-
Rapeseed Oil (Canola Oil): After "oatmilk" (water, oats), rapeseed oil is the next ingredient listed in Oatly. Though plant-based, canola oil is highly processed, and its consumption has been linked to inflammation. Some research suggests that highly processed seed oils can contribute to chronic inflammation and negatively impact cardiovascular health. This type of oil also contains trans fats. "Every time you drink a latte with oat milk, you're getting the toxic and inflammatory equivalent of a medium to large serving of french fries." Is it worth that creamy sip?
-
Gut Microbiome Disruption: Oatly also relies on synthetic emulsifiers and stabilizers to achieve a creamy consistency. While this might create a smooth product, it can be problematic for gut health. Synthetic emulsifiers like dipotassium phosphate can disrupt your gut bacteria, promoting inflammation and increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome and digestive disorders.
3. NutPods: Gums and Additives
- Use of Gums: NutPods, though dairy-free, uses additives like gums (such as guar gum or xanthan gum) to thicken and stabilize the creamer. While gums aren’t inherently harmful, they can cause digestive issues like bloating and discomfort in sensitive individuals and may disrupt the gut microbiome if consumed in large quantities.
- No Added Nutrients: Unlike JOIBlend™’s inclusion of calcium and prebiotics, NutPods lacks added nutrients that actively support digestive and bone health.
4. Laird Superfood Creamers: More of a Sweetener Than a Creamer
- Sweetener First: Laird's creamer is primarily a coconut-based product, with coconut sugar as a key ingredient. This formulation makes it more like a sweetener than a traditional creamer, which might not meet the needs of those looking for a balanced addition to their coffee.
- Tapioca Maltodextrin as a Thickener: Unlike JOIBlend™, which uses natural fibers to provide smoothness and health benefits, Laird contains tapioca maltodextrin, a thickening agent that, while safe, offers little nutritional value.
Why JOIBlend™ is the Clear Winner for Your Health
Unlike traditional creamers that rely on artificial additives, JOIBlend™ is made with natural, plant-based ingredients that provide a creamy texture without compromising health.
Instead of artificial emulsifiers, JOI uses natural fibers like soluble tapioca fiber and pectin fiber, which help create a smooth mouthfeel while supporting gut health.
Moreover, JOI Oat Creamer uses cane sugar, a natural sweetener. With only three grams of sugar per serving, JOI offers just enough sweetness without the artificial sweeteners or high-fructose corn syrup found in many traditional creamers.
JOIBlend™ also provides the added benefit of calcium and healthy fats, ensuring that each cup of coffee is not just delicious but also contributes to a balanced diet.
