Have you ever thought about the ingredients in the coffee mate cream that you use? There are definitely pros and cons to this product. I guess it depends on the amount of coffee you consume in a day and if you are one of those people who care about everything that goes through your body. Thankfully I’m not one of those because I definitely love my coffee and have to have the cream. I’m just not up for black coffee, but I do want to share with you some of the ingredients in matte coffee crema brands.
There is a list of approximately eight ingredients in most coffee maté creams. There are so many different types of these creams. You can buy it in liquid, powder, fat-free, fat-free, natural bliss, sugar-free, low-fat, etc. It really depends on the flavor you choose. Mine is the fat-free liquid coffee mate cream. Looking for the ingredients, I couldn’t even pronounce most of these. Some of them didn’t make sense to me. Sodium casein was one ingredient that did it. It is a derivative of milk and a type of protein found in the milk of mammals. Some people are allergic to it. It is used in the coffee mate cream to prevent clotting. Therefore, this could be bad for you if you are allergic to it.
Other reasons why some people may choose not to use crema de mate de café in their coffee is because depending on the way you buy it, the sugar and calorie content may be higher than you want. Low-fat natural happiness had the most calories of all. It had 40 calories per serving, 5 grams of sugar, 7 carbohydrates, and 1.5 grams of total fat. This one could add a lot of fat and extra calories. It is not so natural.
Now, on the other hand, the pros are, it really does make coffee taste wonderful. I can’t wait to get up in the morning and have that first cup of coffee with my creamer. This starts my perfect day. The fat-free liquid coffee mate that I like to use only has 1 gram of carbohydrates and 0 sugars. Another plus is that coffee is a great way to socialize with your friends. You can meet some of them at a local coffee shop and have a great conversation over a cup. It can be very relaxing. So I think there are more advantages to crema de mate de café than cons.
As for me, it’s not going to make any difference what is in my favorite cream, I plan to drink my coffee as I always have, with my cream. It just wouldn’t be the same without him. And for all coffee drinkers, you make your own decision. I already did mine.
