Recipe Weekend: Leaner Creamer Elevates YOUR coffee!
Now I KNOW that got your attention!
Leaner Creamer is a great-tasting, convenient alternative to creamer products that are high in fat and laden with chemicals, and it comes natural and in new Hazelnut flavor!
Leaner Creamer is a family-owned company, based in Los Angeles, that was formed on the basis of the eternal concept of "see a need, fill a need".
CEO Jonathan Kashani. saw first-hand the rising nationwide obesity rate and increasingly use of artificial products, such as chemical-filled coffee creamers. Inspired to develop a creamer that was both natural,and that helped promote weight management, Kashan, with his background in biology, physiology and medicine, launched a new venture with the research, development and launch of Leaner Creamer.
The concept behind Leaner Creamer is simple: to replace hydrogenated and trans-fa filled creamers consumed by millions of people every day with a healthier alternative. Its unique, proprietary formula includes coconut oil, citrus aurantium extract, hoodia and green tea extract, which work together to help speed the metabolism, aid digestion, increase lipolysis (the breakdown of lipids including fats) and suppress hunger.
Each bottle is non-dairy (less than .05% lactose-free milk derivative, so it NOT for those who are allergic to lactose), gluten-free and sugar-free (zero grams of sugar per serving). Ideal for those with lactose intolerance, its powdered form allows it to be conveniently stored at room temperature, with no need to refrigerate, so you can take it anywhere you go! It's ingredients do include plant based additives to keep it shelf stable and in the powdered form.
But I know the BIG question you're asking is HOW does it taste?
AMAZING.
There is no weird after taste or odd flavor- it's like adding real milk to your coffee (or tea, it works in hot tea too)! And it DOES help to curb your appetite! I have found that when I have it in my morning coffee, I do not crave any food til lunch time!
Like Leaner Creamer Original, which has a hint of creamy vanilla, the new Hazelnut Leaner Creamer is just as aromatic and yummy, perfect to mix into coffee, tea, smoothies and recipes that call for creamer, like the one below, as well.
Leaner Creamer is currently available at an increasing number of retail outlets, including Gelson's Markets, through Amazon.com and the Leaner Creamer website.
