Lite Non-Dairy Coffee Creamer
What it is
This is a liquid non-dairy creamer designed to lighten and enrich coffee. It is made from plant-based ingredients, offering an alternative to traditional dairy creamers. The 'lite' designation suggests a lower fat content compared to some other non-dairy options. It is typically shelf-stable before opening, making it convenient for pantries. The creamer is formulated to blend smoothly into hot beverages without curdling.
How people cook with it
People use this creamer to add a touch of richness and a lighter color to their morning coffee or other hot drinks. It can also be used in some recipes that call for a dairy-free liquid.

- Use in dairy-free baking
Simply pour the desired amount into your hot beverage. Stir gently until fully incorporated. It is best added after the coffee or tea has been brewed and is ready to serve.

It is not intended for cooking at high temperatures.
