    Califia Farms Better Half is a Half Coconut Cream & Half Almond Milk

    By Alisa Fleming on March 11, 2020 Dairy-Free Cream Reviews (Sour, Whipped & More), Dairy-Free Creamer Product Reviews, Product Reviews

    We’ve seen a lot of Califia dairy alternatives come and go, but this dairy-free half & half has not only persisted, it’s also expanded to include five varieties. And yet, I realized the other day that we didn’t even have Califia Farms Better Half listed on Go Dairy Free! I’m fixing that issue with this detailed post in our newer format. If you’ve tried this creamy product, you can leave your own rating and review below.

    Califia Farms Better Half - Dairy-Free Half & Half Alternative - Reviews and Info (made with Almond Milk and Coconut Cream) - vegan and gluten-free

    Califia Farms Better Half is a Half Coconut Cream & Half Almond Milk

    Although it’s often sold in the refrigerated section, this dairy-free half & half alternative is actually shelf-stable, until it’s opened. Each variety has the same creamy base, but a different flavor or sweetness profile.

    Unsweetened

    This completely unsweetened variety is made for most applications, which is why it’s available in both the small 16 ounce and larger 32 ounce sizes.

    Califia Farms Better Half - Dairy-Free Half & Half Alternative - Reviews and Info (made with Almond Milk and Coconut Cream) - vegan and gluten-freeIngredients: almondmilk (water, almonds), coconut cream, sunflower lecithin, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, sea salt, potassium citrate, locust bean gum, gellan gum. Contains almond, coconut. Manufactured in a facility that also handles peanuts and other tree nuts.*

    Nutrition (per 2 tablespoons): 15 calories, 1.5g fat, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 0g protein.*

    Original

    It might be a “classic” variety, but you’ll only find this one in the smaller packages. It’s also the only variety sweetened with cane sugar (just a touch) instead of monk fruit.

    Vanilla

    Apparently this is a popular flavor, because it’s sold in both the 16 ounce and 32 ounce sizes.

    Hazelnut

    You’ll only find the small size of this coffee-loving flavor on store shelves.

    Pumpkin Spice (seasonal)

    When pumpkin spice season rolls around, Califia goes big with this 32-ounce size. If you can’t wait for the holidays, don’t worry, it’s usually available for most of the year online.

    The Best - and I've Tried Them All

    Rated 5 out of 5
    January 16, 2023

    The unsweetened half-almond / half-coconut is the BEST creamer there is. It doesn’t taste too coconutty, unlike coconut-forward brands, and it doesn’t taste like vegetable oil like Nutpods do. It’s also not too thin, as all-almond tends to be.

    Honestly I think the only reason this hasn’t seen more buzz/been more popular is that it’s a bit hard to find, especially if you live in a non-metro area. It’s pretty frustrating that brands that have the wrong texture or taste crappy or are full of sugar are so popular and easy to find. 🙁
