Rating: 4.0 Stars
As a nutritionist, I am always on the lookout for flavorful, low-calorie, sugar-free options to recommend to my clients. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Twix Coffee Creamer, and I must say that I was quite impressed with the product. The flavor is amazing, and the macros are perfect. It does contain a couple of questionable ingredients that we should probably take a closer look at.
Nutritional Information:
One serving (1 tbsp) of the Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Twix Coffee Creamer contains 20 calories, 1.5g fat, 0g saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol, 5mg sodium, 2g carbohydrates, 0g fiber, 0g sugar, and 0g protein. This creamer is also gluten-free, and lactose-free, and contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners.
The ingredient list does include corn syrup and carrageenan, neither of which are ideal ingredients to consume in considerable quantities on a regular basis. Corn syrup is linked to obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, and heart disease. Some types of corn syrup may contain harmful additives, such as mercury or arsenic. Carrageenan can potentially cause gastrointestinal issues, carcinogenic effects, allergic reactions, impact nutrition absorption, and create environmental concerns such as damage to marine ecosystems due to the large-scale harvesting of seaweed for production purposes. One tablespoon in your coffee a few times a week is not enough to constitute a considerable quantity.
There is 1.5 grams of fat per tablespoon so be sure to measure your portions and avoid too many calories from "portion distortion".
As a nutritionist, I am always wary of products that contain added sugars. However, the Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Twix Coffee Creamer is touted as completely sugar-free, which makes it an excellent option for those who are watching their sugar intake. It is also low in calories, making it a great option for those who are trying to lose weight.
Ideas for Use:
The Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Twix Coffee Creamer can be used in a variety of ways to add flavor and creaminess to your life. Here are some ideas:
-
Iced Coffee: Mix the creamer with iced coffee for a refreshing and indulgent treat.
-
Hot Coffee: Add the creamer to your hot coffee to create a delicious, creamy beverage.
-
Protein Shakes: Add the creamer to your favorite protein shake recipe for added flavor and creaminess.
-
Baked Goods: Use the creamer as a substitute for milk or cream in your favorite baked goods recipes.
-
Oatmeal: Add a splash of creamer to your oatmeal for a delicious and creamy breakfast.
The flavor:
Does it taste like an actual Twix candy bar? Not really. You can certainly taste a hint of chocolate and caramel so it could probably be called by the name of a large percentage of candy bars, however, I don't hate that it's called Twix. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say it's a bottle full of flavor from only the LEFT Twix.
Overall, I recommend the Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Twix Coffee Creamer. It is a delicious and healthy option for those who want to add flavor and creaminess to their coffee without adding extra calories or sugar. The fact that it is gluten-free, lactose-free, and contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners is an added bonus. Give it a try and see for yourself how delicious this creamer is!
