Unlike traditional creamers — which often have high amounts of sugar and carbs — many keto creamers are low in carbs and get their creaminess from coconut cream, almond milk, MCT oil and other non-dairy sources,” Lorencz says. “Creamers derived from coconuts and other nuts can be helpful if you’re trying to eat more healthy fats,” Hernandez says. Taking in more of these fats is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, according to Harvard Health Publishing. That said, some keto coffee creamers are still high in calories and saturated fats, which may be harmful to your health if you’re adding a lot to your cup, Lorencz says. As a reminder, limiting saturated fat to five or six percent of your daily calories (about 120 calories if you eat a 2,000-calorie diet) can help lower your risk of heart disease, per the American Heart Association. And don’t think they’re a weight loss solution, either: “While a keto diet may help you shift your weight, there isn’t much evidence of faster fat loss than a normal, balanced calorie-deficit diet,” says Emma Drackford, RD. “Keto creamers can make the diet more enjoyable, but that’s about it.”
