Before we delve into the synergy between Ozempic and Leaner Creamer, let's briefly understand what Ozempic is and its role in managing health. Ozempic is a prescription medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by stimulating insulin production and reducing glucose production by the liver.

• The Importance of Healthy Habits:

While medications like Ozempic play a crucial role in diabetes management, adopting healthy lifestyle habits is equally important.

Coffee syrups have revolutionized the way we enjoy our daily brew, offering an enticing array of flavors to personalize every cup. Sugar-free coffee syrups, in particular, have risen in popularity among those looking to indulge in their favorite flavors without the added sugars. However, it's crucial to understand what goes into these skinny syrups. Examining the artificial sweeteners and flavors is crucial for those mindful of their dietary choices.

 Are Sugar-Free Coffee Syrups a Healthier Choice?

When considering sugar-free syrups, one might assume they're inherently healthier due to the absence of sugar. However, the use of artificial flavors and sweeteners raises questions about their overall health impact. Artificial flavors, common in many sugar-free syrups, are synthesized chemicals designed to mimic natural tastes but without the nutritional value or purity of real ingredients.

What's in Your Sugar-Free Syrup?

Examining the ingredient list of popular sugar-free syrups from brands such as Skinny Mixes and Torani reveals the presence of sweeteners like sucralose. While these substances allow the syrups to maintain a sweet taste without sugar, they are artificial in nature and have been subject to debate over their long-term effects on health, including gut health and glucose metabolism.

Navigating the World of Skinny Syrups

The allure of transforming a simple cup of coffee into a guilt-free treat is undeniable. However, consumers should be aware of what constitutes the flavors in their favorite sugar-free coffee syrups. The term "artificial flavors" encompasses a wide range of synthetic chemicals, and while they are generally recognized as safe in small quantities, their long-term health impacts are still being studied.

Making Informed Choices

For those who revel in the rich flavors of coffee but seek to avoid the health pitfalls of artificial additives, Leaner Creamer emerges as a beacon of hope. This coconut oil-based creamer, sweetened naturally with monk fruit, stands as a testament to guilt-free indulgence, offering a sugar-free and non-dairy alternative that doesn't sacrifice taste for health.

Leaner Creamer isn’t just about variety, although with options ranging from the classic French Vanilla to the innovative Blueberry Donut, it certainly has that covered. Each flavor is designed not just to delight the palate but also to offer more than meets the eye. Subtly enhancing your morning coffee, Leaner Creamer is carefully crafted with natural supplements that might help to boost your metabolism and curb cravings throughout the day.

By integrating Leaner Creamer into your morning routine, you're not only choosing a healthier way to enjoy your coffee; you're embracing a lifestyle choice that places wellness at the forefront. It's the perfect partner for anyone eager to support their health goals while still partaking in the ritual of a deliciously flavored cup of coffee.

Sometimes, when trying to live a healthier lifestyle, finding healthy alternatives to food you love can make a huge difference. To that end, here are some healthier options that might go a long way in lowering the calories and cutting out certain things.

Instead of Dairy Coffee Creamer use Leaner Creamer

Instead of using milk, cream, or other traditional coffee creamers, we would recommend using Leaner Creamer. A non-dairy coffee creamer, that is sugar free and lactose free as well as being keto friendly; Leaner Creamer can be used in a variety of different healthy diets and lifestyles.

Instead of Sour Cream use Greek Yogurt

While not being totally lactose-free, Greek Yogurt is much lower in lactose than most other dairy products and in addition to being a healthy alternative as an ingredient in a variety of recipes, it is also linked to helping digestion.

Instead of Soda put Lemon and Lime in Water

Here’s the thing about soda and healthy lifestyles; they don’t go together. At all. Sorry. No, not even diet soda. Putting Lemon and Lime in Water (it can even be fizzy water) does work, however. This new concoction will also taste amazing and will have almost no calories.

Instead of Noodles use Squash

Squash Noodle substitutes make an excellent low carb alternative than using traditional noodles in various pasta recipes and other dishes. Squash is also lower in calories and higher in nutrients than traditional grain options.

• 1 cup Italian Sweet Crème Non-Dairy Creamer ( Want to make liquid Coconut Cream Creamer? Read more!)
• 1 (14-ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
• 2 cups Non-Dairy Heavy Whipping Cream

Additional Ingredient for Affogato:

• Strongly brewed espresso or strong coffee

Instructions for Italian Sweet Crème Ice Cream:

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the Italian sweet crème non-dairy creamer, sweetened condensed coconut milk, and non-dairy heavy whipping cream. Mix these ingredients until slightly frothy, indicating they are well combined.

Freeze: Pour the mixture into a large, freezer-safe container. Freeze for one hour, then remove and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the sides well. Freeze for an additional three hours or ideally overnight to achieve a solid consistency.

Soften: Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

Assembling the Non-Dairy Coffee Affogato with Italian Sweet Cream Ice Cream:

Prepare Coffee: Brew a shot of espresso or a small, strong coffee. Ensure it's hot and freshly made to pour over the ice cream.

Scoop Ice Cream: Place a generous scoop of the Italian sweet cream ice cream into a serving glass or bowl.

Pour Coffee: Immediately pour the hot espresso or coffee over the ice cream scoop. The heat from the coffee will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a creamy and delightful mixture.

• For an extra touch of indulgence, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

So! You have a day off. Not only is it a day off from your job, but it’s also a day off from your exercise routine. That sounds like a Sunday. Yeah, it’s probably a Sunday. What a great day. The sky’s the limit! The world is your oyster! You’re a kid in a candystore! There are probably some other clichés that are slipping my mind… Anyway! The point is, you probably need help deciding what to do. So, grab a coffee, put some non-dairy Hazelnut-flavored Leaner Creamer in it, and settle in while we give some helpful suggestions on how to spend your day off.

• Eat bad food

Assuming that this is your cheat day, make use of it! Eat some ice cream or order a pizza! But maybe don’t get ice cream and pizza… that seems a bit overkill and that may also be the thing that turns a cheat day into a cheat week and derails the health train that was your diet.

• Clean the house

Maybe you’ve been putting this off. Or maybe you just don’t find the time to do it in the hustle and bustle of your normal schedule. Whatever the case may be, this might be a good opportunity to give your living spaces a scrub. It also never takes as long as you think it does, so you can probably go back to being unproductive for a good portion of the day!

• Watch your favorite movie

Maybe you haven’t seen it in a while. Maybe you just need to go back and double check if it’s still perfect. Or maybe your partner hasn’t seen it… in which case you need to make them watch it and see if your relationship is on solid ground… ‘cause if they don’t like it you may need to rethink some things…

• Call a friend or family member

You’ve got the time. You’ve got people you may not have caught up with in several months. This is a good moment to catch up and have some laughs over the phone. Make it a video call so that you can lord your Leaner Creamer over them! It’ll be fun!

• Start a project you’ve been putting off

Maybe it’s a novel or a screenplay that you’ve had in your head for a long time. Maybe it’s a woodworking project. You have the freedom and there are all sorts of things you can get going on this day of endless possibilities, so… why not?

• Do nothing. For real…

This might be controversial, but you could also just do nothing. Like… you could just stay in bed all day. Nothing productive, no movies, no reading. Just lay around and do nothing. In this world of constant stimulation (the screens we’re locked into, the horrible news we hear, our jobs, the radio, etc.), just sitting back and doing nothing could be a truly Zen-like activity. Or at the very least, it could be a way to recharge your batteries in this crazy modern world.

Staying on track to keep your goals can be tricky. If you’re anything like us, you forget everything you were planning to do tomorrow the moment your head hits the pillow at night. Sometimes we need reminders about our goals. One such reminder can be a vision board, a board of images that are meant to inspire you and to keep your goals in mind. Be those fitness goals, financial success, or accomplishing some new and exciting endeavor. With that in mind, here are some things that can go on your vision board if you have a mind to make one.

• Fitness accoutrement

If fitness related things inspire you, this could be a thing to put on the board. It could also be any number of things; food you love, exercise equipment you have fun with, places you can go for a nice run. The possibilities are limitless!

• Your ideal body

If you’re looking to change your life and to get back into shape or even just achieve a higher level of fitness, this can absolutely help. A goal like this can be a far-off thing in the distant future (sometimes it will feel that way more than it actually is oddly enough), so it is often good to give yourself daily reminders of it. If you see this image with your goal in mind every morning it might also make you rethink grabbing that ice cream sandwich on your way home from work or whatever your particular vice is.

• Your dream partner

Maybe you want more romance in your life. This can help keep other parts of the vision board in mind so that you continue improving yourself and your life which will increase your appeal to a prospective partner. What people find attractive is, despite what we’re often lead to believe, highly subjective, so make sure that this image is something that you find attractive.

Also, we feel compelled to remind you that looks aren’t everything and as long as there is some attraction to an actual human being there is something to build on. When putting up a picture of a person, more abstract ideas like “intelligence” and “kindness” don’t always translate so… though on the flip side you could use a fictional character who embodies the features of your ideal love interest. Whatever you do, remember that we here at Leaner Creamer are not shallow.

• An achievement you’d like

This is pretty straight forward. It could be a trophy for a weightlifting competition. It could be an award for writing. It could be a fake check written to you with the amount of money you want to get as a bonus at work. It could also be an image related to a more tangible goal itself like completing a sculpture or other work of art or building something with your hands.

Whatever you changes you strive for in your life, remember that wanting them will always be the first step to getting them.

One of the hardest things to change our minds about is, rather ironically, ourselves. Sometimes we may not believe ourselves capable of certain tasks, dismissing ourselves as not the right person for the job. But the power to improve our lives exist within us all, and sometimes it helps to give ourselves reminders of our potential. And this is why we do daily affirmations…

Decide what the affirmations are

Take some time and think about what the affirmations should be. Do you want to instill the belief that you’re an active person, or that you are kind, or witty? Think about the things you want to see more in yourself. Or if you’re feeling low about yourself, think of your best qualities and all the positive things you like about yourself.

Write them down

Decide which order makes the most sense and put them on paper. Handwritten. Or typed. Or made pretty with glitter and glue. You can also be creative and do it as a poem or a declaration of intent or something. You’re never not allowed to be creative if you want to be.

Put them somewhere that you will see everyday

Put it where you’ll see it. Maybe where you brush your teeth. Maybe where you get dressed. Maybe where you break your fast. Just so long as you get to look at that document everyday.

Leave them there

Don’t take them down. And remember, change does not occur overnight. The deep seeded beliefs we hold about ourselves that we need to get rid of can take a long time to dislodge. So give it time. Give yourself time to find out your true potential. You might just surprise yourself.

Another year has gone by. If you’re anything like us, you just don’t know where the time is going and while birthdays and other yearly celebrations used to be occasions to have fun, as we get older they feel more and more like reminders of our own mortality and the finite nature of life. If it feels like it’s too early in the morning for this level of existentialism, sorry… we’re going all in this time. Make your coffee and throw some Hazelnut Leaner Creamer into it. Aaaaahhhh! That’s the good stuff… Now let’s get comfortable, sit back, and reflect on our lives over the past year and maybe think about where we’re going next.

• How do you feel about the mistakes you made?

We all come from somewhere different, and we are all on our own journeys through life. The mistakes we make will always be uniquely our own; things only we had the opportunity to do in ways specific to our own idiosyncratic failings. When put that way, our mistakes seem almost special, don’t they? Maybe you feel that way about them, but more likely you don’t. And some mistakes are bigger and more dire than others. Whatever the mistakes are, remember that dwelling on the past and torturing yourself over what might have been is not healthy. If there is a lesson in your mistake, learn it and move on.

• Do you feel proud of what you accomplished?

You might look back on the things you have accomplished and feel some pride. That’s not a bad thing. You should absolutely take some time to feel your bigger accomplishments and the sense that you have done some great things. So often not stopping to smell the roses can be what burns us out. On the flipside, maybe you accomplished something big (got a degree, finished a project, got that promotion) and it didn’t do anything for you… this might be a red flag that you need to reevaluate things. Often if we achieve something big and feel disconnected from it, it can be a sign that the life we are living is not in alignment with our authentic selves and who we really are; a great accomplishment that we don’t have strong feelings for might mean we are on the wrong track…

• Do you like the things you have in your life?

Speaking of being on the wrong track, how do you feel about the things in your life. Not just the material things (though there is an undeniable satisfaction to walking into a room, looking at the objects, and feeling like it is our space), but also the people and activities we make time for. Does your fantasy football league still bring you joy or do you wonder why you still bother? Is your weekly Dungeons and Dragons group still exciting or does it feel stale? Do you find yourself longing for poker nights with the gang? Do you wish there was more space in your life for romance? Do you want children some day? If you find yourself mostly satisfied with whatever you have to look forward to day by day, then you’re probably on the right track. If you look around at the life you lead and find yourself puzzled by the details and left with the weird feeling that this stuff does not make you happy, then you might have some housekeeping to do.

• What do you want to accomplish over the next year?

This is where the hard (or maybe it’s easy… I don’t know, hypothetical reader) questions come in. What do you want to get done over the next year; what figurative mountain do you want to be standing on this time next year looking down from? As alluded to earlier, living in your authentic self means only you can provide those answers. So often we are told to chase things that won’t actually make us happy, just because it is expected of us. Maybe you don’t know what you actually want, and your journey over the next year will be to figure out who you are and what you really desire in your life. Maybe you do know who you are and what you want and the real question becomes what is the most important thing for you to achieve? Whether the goals are personal or professional, there are only so many hours in a day and you only have so much energy. And even choosing your battles, you may not accomplish those goals at all.

As you sit here sipping on your Hazelnut-flavored coffee, remember to make more times for reflection if you can rather than let yourself get caught up in the grind of life and risk being burnt out; stop and look around lest life pass you by (I think there was an ‘80s movie about that…). And whatever it is you decide to reach for over the next year, remember that the right answer to that question will be the one that is most important to you.

Leaner Creamer serves as a great tool in aiding in building and maintaining healthier habits. In the spirit of encouraging healthy new routines (exercising more, eating healthier, etc.) we wanted to list some tips that help in incorporating new behaviors into our lives.

• Start small

Make your early goals achievable. As you progress you’ll want to amp things up, but oftentimes people have trouble getting started with new healthy routines by doing too much too quickly. Change happens, but it happens gradually.

• If applicable, have a Cheat Day

This can be a slippery slope at times, but it does help to have a day where you can relax and “cheat” a little bit. It might be a day where you rest instead of exercise or have tacos and margaritas (Taco Tuesday for the win) instead of salad. Being too rigorous with trying to maintain new habits is often unrealistic and can often lead to backsliding and cheat days usually help. The trick is just making sure that your Cheat Day is a day and doesn’t turn into a Cheat Week.

• Use the Premack Principle

The Premack Principle is a concept from behavioral psychology. Basically, learning a new behavior is much easier if you make doing an existing behavior contingent on doing the new one first. For example, if you want to drink more water and less coffee, you can give yourself the rule that for every cup of coffee you enjoy, you must first drink two glasses of water. This can also mean doing 10-20 minutes of exercise for every hour you spend playing video games. This can also lead to more advanced ideas like token economies, but to start just remember that pairing old behaviors with new ones is a great way to give yourself new habits.

• Tell people… or not

Should you tell people that you’re trying to learn healthier habits? The jury is still out on this one. One school of thought is that telling people means you will have to put your money where your mouth is and motivate you by not wanting to lose face after publicly committing to the new course of action. On the other hand, you might not be motivated by the perception of others, or the added pressure might add to your stress and make you more likely to lapse. It’s hard to say, and while there are broad tips for what works for people, many of these things also tend to be subjective. Just like how you might be a person who does better without a Cheat Day, maybe you’re also a person who gets into healthier routines more effectively by not making a big thing of it.

• Keep a log

The first step to achieving goals is often setting them in the first place… crazy right? This creates a measured way to set what you want to do and to what intensity. Recording how well you do at the goals and what you complete at different times is also beneficial, because as you progress and look back at what you had done before, you will see the ways in which you have improved, just by what you are currently capable of versus what you started doing… this cant help, but give you a sense of pride and encouragement.

• Increase goals as you progress

This one is fairly straight forward. As you progress, you’ll want to push yourself further as your capacity increases. Enough said.

• Don’t get discouraged

A big thing you’ll need to remember is that no matter how well you do, drawbacks are bound to happen and you won’t do things perfectly. This is fine. So much of moving forward in life, and this can apply not just to incorporating healthy habits like exercise routines and healthy eating, but also taking up new hobbies or advancing in your career, is not getting discouraged and not stopping. Staying the course and not giving up is always the key to success. This also goes for mistakes we make; if you skip exercising one day, rather than dwelling on the mistake it is best to just resume the new routine the next day. And in general a big secret of this is not being too hard on yourself when you falter. Sure, you need to be disciplined and you need to care about meeting goals, but it doesn’t serve to be too hard on yourself. Remember: feelings of excessive guilt or shame will often hold you back from moving forward.
