Trim Healthy Mama Coffee Creamer Recipe {7 Variations} (1)You know where you'll find me most mornings?

Well, it's not so much where, but with what…

You'll find me with coffee in hand.

Doesn't matter if it's sweltering our arctic outside, coffee is the morning ritual I can't live without. I've already discussed how I make it iced, with a jolt of protein from collagen (and why you should too), but one aspect of my coffee obsession I haven't yet shared with you is how to make the perfect Trim Healthy Mama coffee creamer.

It's a simple concept, really: cream, sweetener, and flavoring.

But getting it right?

Well that's a whole different ballgame.

Lucky for you, I've been working really hard on upping my coffee and creamer game, so I've got a Trim Healthy Mama coffee creamer recipe for you + 7 coffee creamer variations for you today. They're all simple to make, require ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard (because you're a Trim Healthy Mama) – and I've done the heavy experimental lifting for you!

If you haven't really started filling your cupboards with THM-friendly foods, I'll give you heads up on what you'll need to make these recipes:

Here's the basic Trim Healthy Mama coffee creamer recipe that I whip us when I'm out of (or not feeling) the other special ones.

Trim Healthy Mama Coffee Creamer Recipe {7 Variations} (2)Now for the fun part!

I've created 6 variations of Trim Healthy Mama coffee creamer just for you!

These versions are all THM:S, because that is my preference in the morning. As a bonus, add 2 scoops of collagen to your coffee + fun creamer for a meal in a coffee cup. It's a great way to start the day.

But if you prefer a THM:E or THM:FP for your morning, there are really easy substitutions. Sub Almond milk, or all fat free half & half to eliminate fat and carbs from the drinks, or fat free coconut milk (it's hard to find, but it's out there) instead of full-fat coconut milk.

Spices, Stevia, and Vanilla Extract are all Fuel Pulls, so substitute accordingly depending upon your needs!
