Here is my simple recipe for a DIY Coffee Creamer with vanilla. Coffee had always held a spot in my heart, until the last few years. Now I still enjoy a social coffee every so often and when I do, I love it with cream. While I can drink my coffee black for the sake of looking “cool” I prefer taking my coffee with creamer. No Shame here. Here is a quick and simple recipe for making your own DIY Vanilla Natural Bliss Coffee Creamer at home.
Honestly, though, I’m like a moderate creamer user. I like it light but still brown! Then there are other people I know who will literally pour the whole freaking bottle in a cup (exaggerating, obvi) Like would you like some coffee with your creamer?! 😂
But even living with a moderate amount of creamer in my life can get expensive, fast.
I liked the Natural Bliss coffee creamer that boasts having only 4 or 5 natural ingredients. Which I greatly appreciate. You may have noticed by now that it is really important that Artificial ingredients are not present in our lives anymore.
I spent nearly my entire pregnancy taking the time to analyze everything I consumed on a regular basis; from shampoo and deodorant to coffee and coffee creamer.
Did I mention I love flavored coffee creamer? I love that it can turn any cup of coffee into a mood, into a feeling. I love that. What I don’t love is paying $4.00 for a small bottle that only lasts me a week. We are on a single income in Southern California and although I do have more creature comforts than a lot of people around the world, I knew I needed to find a way to save some money.
DIY Coffee Creamer
By making my own DIY Vanilla Natural Bliss Coffee Creamer I have saved $4.00 a week – for 4 weeks – a total of $16 which bought me this pretty and amazingly scented candle from Homegoods! Yay
And it is so freaking simple. You only need 3 ingredients. You read that right. THREE.
The regular Vanilla Coffee-mate has 13 and/or 14 Ingredients. LIKE WHAT??? Read for yourself. What I want to know is… How is your body supposed to know what to do with all these chemicals?! Do you really think we can trick nature?! but I digress. Consuming ‘food’ products like this will lead to a multitude of health problems over time. We need to make smart, healthy choices now – while we still have the choice! A simple switch from chemical-filled creamer to a natural option saves money and improves health.

This is exactly what I needed for a simple creamer recipie. Others I tried ended up being more expensive with ingredients than just buying the finished product.
Thanks so much.
