I’m going to be honest: I’m not vegan or, at least, not yet. I’ve, however, been thinking about reducing the amount of animal-derived food I consume. One place I have missed is coffee creamers. My wife and I (and everyone on planet earth) drink coffee constantly. So, I’m looking for some good vegan alternatives that can either be bought at the store or recipes that I can make at home.

- Liquid coffee creamer should be tightly capped and refrigerated after opening
Other names

Silk original dairy-free soy creamer, the best.
I’m not vegan or even vegetarian, not try to cut back diary generally. We have used Planet Oat oatmilk creamer for the last couple years and really like it. It is certified vegan for those that look for that. It has the right consistency to replace normal dairy creamers pretty well and tastes good. There’s a variety of flavors if you go for that as well.
Oatly Barista is pretty good. I like it more than regular milk.
