Updated for 2022! I was in denial for quite some time after Nutpods discontinued their Vanilla Lemon flavor. It was the perfect compliment to almost any tea. Yes, years later, I’m still mourning. But I can’t ignore all of the flavors they’ve released in its place. So today I’m giving our Nutpods Dairy-Free Creamer listing a big update. It includes old favorites, new members, and seasonal delights, like Pumpkin Spice, Coffee Cake, and Classic Chocolate!
Nutpods Unsweetened Dairy-Free Creamer has a Flavor for Every Season
Nutpods is the dairy-free, sugar-free creamer that I know many of you have been looking for. To be honest, I didn’t even like creamer until I met Nutpods.
All of their flavors are completely unsweetened, so you can enjoy your cup of caffeine with just a nice hint of flavor, or you can sweeten it to taste with your chosen sweetener. But what truly dazzled me about nutpods was the consistency. It seamlessly submerged into my acidic hot tea, even without stirring, and it provided a gently creamy and full-bodied mouth feel. At first sip I thought, “this is what creamer should taste like!”
That’s my own unbiased opinion, but you can leave your own rating and review below once you’ve tried it! Here are more details on the ingredients and nutrition, plus more facts on pricing and availability in the next section.

Bloating
I love the flavor of toasted marshmallow. But I get horrible bloating from just 1 cup of coffee.
Diarrhea from Nutpods
Nutpods dairy free unsweetened french vanilla flavor has caused me to have very bad diarrhea. I’m not 100% sure which ingredient in it has caused this to happen to me, but I suspect it’s from the acacia gum in it, since acacia gum is known to cause loose stools in some people (I came to find out through online research after having Nutpods), and maybe I could be highly sensitive to this ingredient. I’m very disappointed with Nutpods because of this experience with it, and I know for sure I had diarrhea because of Nutpods, since I didn’t have anything else different in my diet when I consumed Nutpods in my coffee, I also had a very small amount of the creamer right before having loose stools, and I’m not allergic to any nuts or sweeteners or any other ingredients from Nutpods.
Why is the chocolate not year round
I love this product but really wish they had the chocolate year round!
Meh
It didn’t make a dramatic difference to the flavor of my coffee – it looked thick and creamy, but the caramel flavor was almost non-existent. I ended up adding a shot of caramel to my coffee along with some almond milk just to make it taste good. Pretty expensive for something that doesn’t really do what it purports to do.
Love the subtle flavors
I have never loved sweet coffee and always used plain creamers (not always easy to find in a sea of flavored creamers). So I’ve been a fan of the original flavor a long time. It’s just so good. But then I saw Caramel at my local Target and had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it’s not sweet, like most flavored creamers. The best analogy I have is these are the creamer equivalent to flavored seltzers. If you’re used to and enjoy sweet, you’ll probably want to add your own sweetener. My guess is that will bring the flavor more to the forefront but I haven’t tried it. Would definitely recommend and purchase again.
The best
No other non dairy creamer comes close to this one. It actually lightens as well as half and half and has a rich creamy texture. I am obsessed with this product.
Great in Tea
I’m a tea drinker and this is my favorite dairy-free creamer brand. I was disappointed when the Vanilla Lemon flavor was discontinued (it was seriously made for tea!), but their other flavors are great too. It melds seamlessly and is quite creamy with a pleasant mouthfeel. I love that there are no added sugars, since I don’t typically add sweetener to my tea.

I’ve tried so many non-dairy creamers and this brand is my absolute favorite! And by a lot. As someone who used to do a lot of milk and no sugar in her coffee, I grudgingly used other creamers that forced me to sweeten my coffee by using them. Now I only buy this brand. I can’t wait to run out to buy the pumpkin spice flavor and try it. And, having recently switched more to tea than coffee, I’m excited to try this new vanilla lemon flavor as well.
I think you will love it Kristin! Thanks for your feedback.
I am not allergic to dairy and enjoy dairy products. I buy organic, non-GMO, pasture-raised and grass fed cattle products. But I have to watch my LDL cholesterol level now, so I am testing non-dairy creamers for coffee. I just found out that my diet and exercise alone weren’t getting the job done and I’m taking Lipitor. Nutpods are much better tasting than the soy and totally almond creams, but unfortunately, they do have coconut cream, which raises LDL. Poo. I may have to give up coffee altogether.
Getting old is NOT for sissies. Let’s see: maybe have a stroke OR no creamer, no steak, no cake, no cocktails? I might go for the former and play the odds…
All the ingredients are good UNTIL it lists Dipotassium Phosphate. This is really unfortunate. This is a chemical. This inorganic salt is used as a stabilizer and anti-coagulant in non-dairy creamer. It’s also used in fertilizers and cosmetics, and is said to cause vomiting and diarrhea if consumed “in quantities.” (see InRFood.com). It is difficult for products to try to remain organic and natural and still have some shelf life, just be aware of this fact.
Still MUCH better than dairy – which in the end is full of chemicals, and very cruel to cows and bobby calves. Also a fact to be aware of.
Where can I buy these creamers?
Hi Lynne, links are always included in my posts! You can go direct to the manufacturer or purchase online via shops like Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1VM3KnK – this brand is gaining distribution, but easiest to buy online right now.
Love learning about new products. This looks like a great option for people keeping Kosher as well!
Yes, nutpods is kosher by ingredients, hopefully they get certified, too!
Good news! It is certified OU Kosher, and it is marked on the package. It is the small U with a circle around it to the right of the Vegan Certification logo.
Great, thank you Suzie! When I reviewed it, there was no OU – good to know it’s certified now!
It’s really amazing how many more alternatives are available these days. Love that there’s no hydrogenated oils or carrageenan in this.
I’d never heard of these! Being Paleo they look right up my alley. Must. Find.
The web site “enter zip code for retailers” does not work and I grew weary of trying to locate this product in CO.
Too bad .
It doesn’t look like it’s available in CO as of yet Yvonne. But it can be purchased online with ease.
Wow, Nutpods looks so creamy and delicious!
Ok I’m loving that there is NO sugar in these creamers!!! YAY!!! I have never heard of this brand but now I’m going to keep my eyes peeled. Thanks!
You’re welcome 🙂 And just a heads up Chrissa – tried a touch of the Hazelnut in a chocolate smoothie, too – so good!
So I’m not a coffee drinker, which has always left me wondering what these taste like and if they might be good for other things like cooking??
Yes! I actually just tried the Nutpods Original in a sauce last night and it worked quite well – good rich, but light, savory flavor.
What a cool product! I’m not a coffee drinker any more but if I was, I’d totally be wanting this. Love that there’s no carrageenan, especially since it’s so hard to find dairy free, “dairy-like” substitutes that don’t contain it (unless of course you make your own from scratch). The vanilla flavour sounds divine!
I’m not either Angela, but it worked great for making homemade herbal chai tea!
These sound terrific, Alisa! Thanks so much for the your thorough review. I agree that it will be wonderful when they have single packages for all who are dairy free.

Thanks Shirley! I’ll definitely update when those are out.
