Let’s make our OWN CREAMER! I’m talking tasty creamers to add to your morning coffee that have amazing health and PERFORMANCE benefits!! Let’s dive in and I’ll see you in the COMMENTS!!
1) Coconut Cream + Cacao
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is basically the same thing as coconut milk, except the coconut meat-to-water ratio is about four-to-one
The exact antimicrobial compounds that coconut oil contains in coconut cream, too – contains lauric acid, which converts to monolaurin in the body
Additionally, lauric acid activates PPARα and PPARγ and increases fat metabolism.
Lauric acid itself is metabolized faster than other saturated fats and is burned as fuel more quickly than palmitic, stearic, oleic, elaidic, linoleic, or linolenic fatty acids. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2000 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11010930
Lauric acid and monolaurin (lauric acid attached to glycerol backbone) have potent antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, including against H. pylori, Candida, Clostridium, and E. Coli.
Microbes aren’t able to evolve resistance to lauric acid and monolaurin because they work through three mechanisms: (i) destruction of gram-positive bacterial cell membranes and lipid-coated viruses, (ii) interference with microbial signal transduction and transcription, and (iii) stabilization of human cell membranes.
Lauric acid/monolaurin is the strongest antimicrobial in human breastmilk. Furthermore, lauric acid levels are lower in sick mothers and infants. Nutrients 2017 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5622794/
Cacao
Minerals: Rich in copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium – antioxidants: Rich in catechins, flavanols, and polyphenols that protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Improved blood pressure and flow
Myostatin restricts muscle growth to prevent hypertrophy – Epicatechin decreases the myostatin production in the body and it increases the production of another protein called follistatin
This protein promotes muscle growth and helps minimize the effect of myostatin in the body

2) Ghee + Vanilla Bean
Unlike butter, ghee and other types of clarified butter contain virtually no lactose and are very low in casein – also contains butyric acid
3) Laird Superfood Creamer + Turmeric
Laird Superfood Creamer
Coconut Milk Powder
Organic Coconut Sugar
Aquamin (calcium from marine algae)
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Shelf stable
No artificial flavors, colors, or additives
No highly-refined sugar
4) Hemp Milk + Cinnamon + Cayenne + Stevia
Cinnamon
Cinnamon has the ability to imitate the activity of insulin in the body
Cayenne
Increases thermogenesis + it’s been shown to inactivate NF-kB
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12531428
Stevia
Stevia increases insulin secretion by stimulating pancreatic cells and improves insulin sensitivity
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15375798
Steviosides are used by lactobacilli and bifidobacteria as a nutrient source
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24249153
5) Coconut Cream + Ginger + Mint
Ginger
Blood glucose control: Gingerols, particularly (S)-[6]- and (S)-[8]- gingerol, promoted glucose uptake significantly in (cultured rat) skeletal muscle cells
Mint (peppermint has some cool benefits)
Peppermint helps with digestive issues is because it activates an anti-pain channel in the colon: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304395911000340

I swear everything I want to know there is a Thomas DeLaur video for that lol.
High I have trouble with my glucose what kind of coffee you recommend and the ingredients. Where I am buy it.?
I have leaky gut, can you do a video in how to treat it
I do coconut cream and cinnamon in my coffee
What about coffee made with milk???
This was great! I wonder about combining cacao, cinnamon and cayenne for like a mexican mocha / hot chocolate vibe?
Lairds is fantastic! I’ve used the turmeric one often 😋
He says to “whip it up.” Is he saying you should put it all in a blender? Or just stir it into your coffee?
I love coconut cream in my coffee
So what is the bad word on vanilla extract? Why is it a no go?
Heavy cream is why I started keto 😂
I heard adding MINT lowers TESTOSTERONE. Any comment Thomas??
Hi. Are you able to talk more on Aquamin- does it have to be organic?
Ghee? Yes if it’s homemade but the store bought kind are often fake ghee because they are made with vegetable oil.
I recently stared using ghee in my coffee and cooking but found it expensive. FYI I just saw a great video explaining how to easily make ghee at home I tried it and it tastes great. https://youtu.be/6-ptcgL_D6M
I love using cinnamon and ginger, would adding cayenne flash if I did all 3 together?
half & half is trash anyway
I'm addicted to the Laird creamers. They are really amazing. My wife and I have a desert coffee at night. Chocolate or Mint chocolate Lairds with a quarter tsp of lakota gold, a tsp of oatmilk,and a hit of cinnamon. It whips up into such a fantastic creamy Hot Chocolate/Coffee drink. Sooo damn good.
Can you use any of these during intermittent fasting hours? Or will they all break a fast?
I usually go with ghee, coconut cream, cacao, vanilla extract, stevia and sometimes turmeric
Are any of these coffee recipes good to have during a fasting period?
Do we lose benefit by not using fresh ginger?
I used your tips to create a “Mexican Chocolate” creamer…cacao, cinnamon, and cayenne, together with or without ghee, or coconut cream. It’s delicious. You don’t even need to add it to coffee, if added to coconut milk,either hot or cold, makes a delicious chocolate milk. Can’t wait to try the vanilla ghee and chocolate mint options. Costco also sells the big bag of Lairds basic creamer too… Thanks for the tips!

They all look like they could be good.
I wil try them all! Thanks
It's not g-ee it is gHee, as in ghost
I thought coconut milk powder has maltodextrin? And oil cannot be ‘powderized’ without modifying it?
I need one that will not break a fast!!
Can someone clarify for me if butter contains short chain fats, or if SCFAs are in ghee as a result of the clarification process?
