    So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer Gets a New Flavor, Updated Look & Organic Label

    12
    By Alisa Fleming on February 27, 2019 Dairy-Free Creamer Product Reviews, Product Reviews

    I’ll start with the good news first. They’ve added Caramel to the So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer flavors! The bad news is they have discontinued the Hazelnut flavor. And the meh news is that they have changed the packaging for the umpteenth time. We liked the prior packaging a lot better. It was cheerful and eye-catching. But minimalist seems to be what’s trending. And maybe you like the new cartons better!

    So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer Review - with ratings, ingredients, allergen info, and more! Vegan and soy-free.

    So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer Gets a New Flavor and Updated Look

    So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer was one of the first truly dairy free creamers to hit the market, with no caseinates in sight. It’s also soy-free, carrageenan-free and made with short ingredient lists. I’ve included a brief summary and ingredients for all of the flavors, including the new Caramel.

    But don’t forget to leave your rating and review below of So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer. We’ve updated this review post with our new rating system, and want to hear your honest opinion!

    Original

    Although there is some cane sugar added, this classic version isn’t very sweet at all. It comes in small pints and larger quart sizes. It performs well in coffee, adding just moderate richness, and in recipes. We even  liked it for making dairy-free Panna Cotta and vegan Clafoutis!

    Nutrition (per 1 tablespoon serving): 15 calories, 1g fat, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 0g protein*

    French Vanilla

    Notably sweet and bursting with vanilla, this flavor also comes in pint and quart sizes. This is one of my favorite cheats for sweet beverage recipes. I’ve used it to make White Chocolate Syrup for Mochas, Snickerdoodle Cold Brew, and Mango Melba Smoothies. I’ve also used it with great luck in baked goods, like these easy Matcha Latte Mini Muffins.

    Nutrition (per 1 tablespoon serving): 20 calories, 1g fat, 4g carbs, 0g fiber, 3g sugars (includes 3g added sugar), 0g protein*

    Caramel

    This flavor replaced their Hazelnut variety, and has a sweetness level similar to the French Vanilla. I’m guessing it will substitute nicely for the Hazelnut in coffee, and in Chocolate Mousse. But unlike the other flavors, you have to commit to the larger quart size with the Caramel. It isn’t available in pints.

    Coconut vanilla creamer

    Rated 1 out of 5
    January 27, 2023

    This stuff tastes horrible! I have bought this product for years due to a dairy allergy. Even though my body has become tolerant to dairy creamers, I have stayed with this creamer because I loved this product as it was. You could taste a touch of coconut and vanilla in it and it was oh so good! In the new creamer-as of January 2023- the ingredients must have changed because the higher-calorie (30) creamer tastes almost like it has soy or something weird in it. It drowns out any flavor that may be present and I no longer enjoy my coffee. Not a fan and won’t buy it again unless they fix this problem. Please, PLEASE, go back to the other recipe!!!

    Gritty texture and bad container design and materials

    This creamer, ( purchased 6/2/22 in MA, USA ) WAS GRITTY. a very fine grit, sort of like the grit which is left after sanding wood with a very fine sandpaper. Called the company (FYI, it’s actually now Danone, since they purchased White Wave which had earlier purchased the SOdelicious company.) No explanation given by them, except they said it shouldn’t be gritty.

    I agree with Shunka, it was better before. Now it is gritty, I have to add my own sugar which seems like more than was in the old ingredients, it’s very thin, not worth the $1.99 I got it for at the grocery outlet, and definitely not worth the $4.99 at other grocery stores. I will be switching to silk. Also shelf stable would be so much better!!

    Terrible in coffee

    Was expecting it to do something other than change the color of my coffee. Would not recommend for coffee drinkers. Very disappointing.

    I have been buying/using this product for several years, after trying so many other non-dairy options. It’s my favorite and now stores in my area are no longer carrying it! Have you stopped making it?

    new formula So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer IS AWEFUL

    Rated 1 out of 5
    October 20, 2019

    facts: formula changed over 7 months ago . Flavor and texture went to hell

    + old formula was shelf stable.

    – new formula must be refrigerated , sold in dairy case

    + old formula was thicker, creamier, stayed stable in the carton

    – new formula appears “thin” and separates rapidly, after only a few days in the fridge

    + old formula tasted great, was a fantastic cream substitute

    – new formula tastes chalky and rather nasty, very thin and doesn’t change the color of the coffee. Bad aftertaste too.

    I am Diagnosed Celiac, with extensive allergies, I used the old formula it in Gluten Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free cooking for pancakes, waffles, biscuits, cookies, pie crusts, etc etc. IT WAS WONDERFUL.

    New formula tastes “meh” and the biscuits fall apart. I am not going to waste time and money on other baking attempts. now I have to find something else and start the baking experiments all over again.

    another year to 18 months down the tubes.

    FYI “So Delicious” claims on their website that they “removed excess sugar and improved the flavor, and made no other changes”

    old formula was shelf stable, new formula is not – I live in the boonies and used to buy 8-10 cartons at a time. I can’t afford the fridge space for something not shelf stable.

    They

    – removed calcium phosphate

    – removed pea protien

    – removed xanthan gum

    – substituted organic cane sugar

    – removed 2gm sugar

    – added 15mg salt

    – added Potassium Citrate

    – added Sodium Citrate

    – added Natural Flavor ( vanilla? but vanilla is not specifically listed!)

    – added Gellan Gum

    my little survey of the web shows over 70% of reviewers HATE the new product.

    so, email the company and let them know directly.

    Not very creamy

    I like the flavor but it’s not very creamy. The previous formula was better. And it’s fairly expensive. Not worth it.

    grainy!

    September 5, 2019

    I like the creamer, the first half of the carton is fine and then gets grainy! I hate seeing white grainy stuff floating in my coffee. At first I thought I bought a bad carton, but no, something is not right.

    I have used the original and French Vanilla since I first found it in grocery stores years ago. I absolutely loved it. I am allergic to milk, almond and soy so this was working out great. Since the recipe change I have had digestive issues daily. I have since stopped drinking it and the symptoms have abated. The new recipe has a chalky taste and is not near as good as the old recipe.

    I have used SoDelicious Original and French vanilla creamer for years. The new recipe causes me terrible bloating and intestinal issues. I will not be using SoDelicious creamer unless they offer the original recipe again.

      WILL BE TRYING THIS STUFF. I WOULD NOT GO TO ANY HEALTH FOOD STORE TO GET THESE PRODUCTS. FIRST LOOK IN YOUR LOCAL MARKETS, AND IF WORSE GETS TO WORSE, THEN I’D LOOK IN THE HEALTH FOOD STORES. HEALTH FOOD STORES ARE KNOWN FOR BEING OVERPRICED, SOMETIMES 21/2 TO 3 TIMES MORE THAN MARKETS/SUPER STORES. FOR THE VERY SAME ITEMS, JUST SO YOU CAN SAY “I BOUGHT IT AT A HEALTH FOOD STORE”?

      I discovered these creamers when I was nursing my milk protein allergic son. He is now 2 and I stopped nursing nearly a year ago, and I have never gone back to half & half. I love the flavor of the original but the french vanilla is too sweet for my taste. I stock up on the bigger shelf stable “barista” boxes when I can find them. I don’t think I will ever go back to regular cream.

    3. michele on September 10, 2014 1:14 pm

      I have tried the hazelnut creamer. It is sweet but that is the way that I like my coffee. However, I liked it better when I added it to a cup of hot chocolate. Very yummy.

    4. ellen beck on August 14, 2014 6:00 pm

      I have trriedd these and thought they were quite good- then too, I like y coffee sweet and although they arent the ‘rrichest’ creamers tey had a nice taste and my coffee was great. I agree, it would be a very light creamer if you tried cooking with it.

    5. rosie adkins on May 13, 2014 7:20 pm

      has anyone ever experienced any reactions when drinking the french vanilla creamee?

      • Tehachapi John on January 19, 2015 8:58 am

        I don’t know what if you’re talking about your own physical reactions, but it appears that they have changed their formula for the French Vanilla creamer for the worse. It used to take very little to produce a satisfying color, taste and texture in my coffee. Lately the effect is decidedly like pouring milk that has gone bad into my coffee. The product seems watered down and, after stirring it in, little specs of white float on the top just like curdled milk. Gross! I don’t know what they did, but I have called them and left a message. Hopefully they will call back. Has anyone else had this experience?

        • Abby on February 4, 2015 5:16 am

          I am having this same experience! Not even a month ago I loved the French vanilla creamer but all of a sudden it acts curdled! I have read that so delicious was bought by some major corporation and I’m wondering if that’s the problem. Have you tried the regular? I’m going to try it with my own sweetner and see if that helps. Very disappointed.

          • Abby on February 4, 2015 5:55 am

            Whitewave bought out So Delicious late last year. I contacted them too so hopefully I’ll hear back soon.

            • Alisa Fleming on February 4, 2015 7:27 am

              They did, but it’s a wholly owned subsidiary – still the same people running the show, same ingredients, and same So Delicious.

            • Abby on February 4, 2015 9:34 am

              I received an email back from So Delicious stating…
              “We have been working on new recipes for our coconut milk coffee creamers so they will be titanium dioxide free and carrageenan free. We are in a bit of an awkward transition phase right now and are still working on the recipe. Fans asked for simpler ingredients and we are responding. Our first step has been to remove titanium dioxide, which is what you are noticing now. The only ingredient whitening our coconut milk coffee creamers is even more organic coconut milk. You may notice that our creamer doesn’t whiten your coffee the way it has in the past. Be careful not to over pour and use the same amount you have before. This may be somewhat confusing because it still says titanium dioxide on the packaging.” And so on. So it seems it’ll be different but hopefully they fix the problem eventually.

      Can you use these creamers as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes?

      • Alisa Fleming on November 20, 2012 7:55 am

        I would consider it more of a light cream substitute, but it would depend on the recipe in terms of how it would work out. Some heavy cream recipes work just fine with a light cream.
