When it comes to coffee and tea creamers, you may have to try a few before you find the perfect one for you. Some are creamier, some are sweeter, but there’s something that all the best ones have in common: They don’t harm cows by using their milk. Even if creamers tout a “dairy-free” label, you may find milk derivatives such as casein in the ingredients. Thankfully, there are so many delicious vegan coffee creamers to choose from, and they’re widely available in most grocery stores.
Here are some of our favorite vegan coffee creamers:
Califia Farms
The brand’s creamers are gluten-free, carrageenan-free, and non-GMO.
Elmhurst 1925
Plant-based milk company Elmhurst 1925 has a wide variety of vegan creamers to choose from, including ones made from cashew or oat milk. Unique flavors like Cinnamon Churro and Pistachio Crème can be found alongside classics like Sweet Cream and Unsweetened Cashew.
Forager Project
Forager’s Half & Half, made from coconut cream and cashew milk, is all creaminess and no sugar. These two halves make a whole lot of goodness to add to your coffee.
Laird Superfood
This health-conscious company (and PETA Business Friend) has thought of an ingenious way to start your day: with superfoods in your coffee. Its delicious vegan and gluten-free coffee creamers are packed with superfoods like coconut milk, Aquamin (calcium from marine algae), organic extra-virgin coconut oil, turmeric, and others. Plus, the creamers don’t need to be refrigerated, so you can take them with you on camping trips and other adventures.

Don’t brew your own coffee at home? Almost all places that serve it offer soy, almond, coconut, and other vegan milks, so don’t be afraid to ask for them.
