The Legacy Formula Coffee Creamer, Original Flavor, 140 Servings

This is an awesome non-dairy creamer. I took it with me when I went overseas to a country where they, shockingly, didn't have coffee creamer. What's up with that??? It was a great non-dairy alternative - especially when you are adverse to dairy products. Additionally it is a no-sugar product which is amazing for people that are watching or can't eat sugar. It dissolves and blended well without any clumpiness. The creamer does have a very slight coconut taste, but not strong. The one thing I noticed the second time I purchased it was that there is now an OUD kosher certification, whereas the first time I bought it it only had an OU. Not sure why there is an update, but maybe if the company sees this they can explain the update.

My personal trainer introduced me to this product as a good alternative to regular coffee creamers. It also has a good hunger suppressant, which surprisingly has worked for me! Yes, the product has a pretty nice vanilla-like scent. It does have a chalky taste but it's not unbearable. I actually mix it into my water-based matcha tea. The main issue folks are having is that the product claims to be "non-dairy" which is true. Non-dairy is commonly used on coffee creamers made from caseinate, a MILK PROTEIN, rather than milk or cream itself. "FDA regulations specifically allow the use of caseinates (and casein is one of the major milk allergens) in non-dairy products.. However, the term, caseinate, will appear in the ingredient statement and must be followed by a parenthetical explanation, such as (a milk derivative). " If you have a milk allergen, then this product is not for you. However, it is marketed for folks that are intolerant to lactose, like myself. Leaner Creamer responds to this question and answers that "..there is a trace amount of milk derivative in the creamer (i.e. less than .05%), but note that this formula is Lactose-Free". But, no is not "dairy-free" which would in many cases mean that the product has no milk and no milk derivative (i.e: milk protein, casein, etc.). Most importantly, read the labels. If there is such term as "milk derivative" then find out why the product claims to be "non-dairy". The above definition is what i found. Therefore I can't give this company a terrible review based on "misleading" folks because they are not; they are following the FDA regulations and using the best terminology. I like the product and thus far, sends no wrong message to my digestive system. I give my review 5 stars because I love the scent and suppressant factor which actually is effective. I'm lactose intolerant and I can tolerate the .05% caseinate (milk protein). I have no milk allergen. Yes, it does have a slight chalkiness to it; however, since i mix it in with my matcha tea, it does cancel out that taste and does leave a vanilla'y flavor. **No I didn't receive this product at a discounted rate, neither did Leaner Creamer ask me to leave a positive review. Rather, it's my honest unbiased opinion ;) **

This coffee creamer is delicious and works great mixed with my protein powder in coffee in the morning. I only take off one star because it is very expensive on Amazon. I can buy this for 4$ less at the grocery store, but they are currently out of stock. It does clump, but if you have a frother it makes quick work of smoothing it out. Update March 2026 - Changed formula, now less product and much more expensive. They have added Stevia, and it is sickeningly sweet, with an off-bitter taste. It does not cream coffee - leaves it black and bitter tasting. It is clumpy and smells bad. I am very disappointed as the original Leaner Creamer was wonderful and my go to.

YUM. My girlfriend doesn't use cream so I take this along when I visit so I can drink coffee. Nice vanilla flavor, not super sweet and a really nice container. A bit pricey but it’s the best dry creamer I’ve tried.

TL;DR Overview & Takeaways: In a nutshell; I’m a “slimmer” who’s calorie conscious. After a solid 6 months of nothing but black coffee I desperately missed having a more decadent morning mug some days so I’ve been buying different dieter friendly coffee accessories lately. The more negative reviews on Amazon had me worried but some of the glowing reviews on other sites made me take the plunge. I’m glad I gave this a fair chance. I graded it in 6 categories and added either 1 or 0 stars (pass/fail) based on how good it was. The likability of this product isn’t gonna be “poor” or “excellent” for most people. It falls in the realm of “fair but needs improvement”, “satisfactory ” or “good” —depending ones priorities, personal taste, and how realistic of ones expectations are. I throw in the last part because some of these reviews read like they’re written by people who don’t try out tons of diet foods on the regular. Remember that this product is 100% a DIET FOOD so you should probably be expecting some kind of trade off. *** LONG REVIEW STARTS HERE *** Leaner Creamer’s Nutrition label/ “Dietness?”: This is the main reason I think this product has unrealistically high expectations put on it. This product: Regular/Original Flavor Non-Dairy Creamers are used Lactose-Intolerant Safe product —2 teaspoons make one serving —5g of product make 2 teaspoons —15 calories are added per serving —0g of any sugar are present —It’s saturated fat & carbohydrate amount is low enough that it can worked into a diet that restricts these two to a lower amount. —It’s sweetened w/o using corn sweeteners or fructose sweeteners both of which will add some sugar even if not labled. It uses monk fruit instead; which doesn’t have known GI side effects, it has no calories|carbs|fat and it’s diabetic safe. It’s the epitome of a dieters product! I’m weight, sugar, fat, and calorie conscious so these were the main attributes that attracted me to the product. So many others have such an annoying sugar or calorie content. Ex: Coffeemate Original Flavor, N’Joy Regular Flavor, Walmart Great Value, Cremora are all examples of Non-Dairy & Lactose-Free creamers that don’t have 15 calories per 5g they have 25 cal in 5 grams of product. That may not sound much different but if I’m having 2 cups with this a day every day for a month... it BECOMES a big difference. And all get their taste from: “Corn Syrup Solids”, “Artificial Flavors” & “Partially hydrogenated palm/coconut/soybean oil”— FYI partially hydrogenated oil add synthetic Trans fat which most people would rather avoid I don’t want to throw other Amazon sellers under a bus but when I looked at the nutrition facts of several other health food powder creamers— they definitely have more “innocent” ingredients, but still the same annoyingly higher calorie amount. Also there’s the added drawback of having sugar added which isn’t great news for me **+1 star for overall rating, very diet friendly compared to other products that kept coming up short** *** Leaner Creamer’s Price: It’s sad. :( I can buy coffee creamer of the same size for like $2.50-3.75 and paid over $13 for one bottle of this! That price is far worse than almost any other brand, but as said all those other brands did fail me in some way... So,for what this product *is* (a coffee creamer) it’s most definitely over priced. If this was priced at $5.00-$7.50 or double the amount of a regular off brand creamer then it would be a great price. Considering how good it is— if it was priced 3 times as high $7.50-11.25 I still would consider the price good or fair-enough depending on whether it was on the high or low end of that. $14 is rather extortionate for a creamer of this size just to be honest I’m gonna have to figure out if there’s other websites I can buy it cheaper even with tax or free shipping because price is the main thing putting me on the fence of re buying it immediately as I run out or not **A 3 star rating for “value for money”. It would of been 4 stars if the price was under $11.45 with free ship** **+0 star for overall rating, sorry.** *** Leaner Creamer’s Presentation: Came intact, safely packaged and sealed. I like that this creamer is a powder and thus I don’t mind keeping small containers I transfer the product to into in my work desk. The packaging is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing to look at. When I run out of creamer I’ll definitely be repurposing this for something. **A full star rating for presentation, flawless** **+1 star for overall rating, no complaints.** *** Leaner Creamer’s Palatability: Creaming— I drink 10-14floz of cold brew or drip brew coffee in the morning & have experimented with adding this in different amounts. I find that I using 1 & 1/2 teaspoons to 2 & 1/3 teaspoons gives it the color & texture expected for a powder creamer. I use less with cold brew since it’s less bitter. With that said, I can’t relate to the reviews where people say they feel like they need “so much” to get it to be worth it. It’s not gonna be a holy grail product for someone who plans to rely solely on this meanwhile they’re someone like my mother who prefers her coffee to be more reminiscent of a sweet milkshake. It also won’t take your mug from zero-to-hero if you’re someone who totally DISLIKES the obligatory bitterness of caffeine & wants to cover it completely rather than just make it much easier to appreciate. lol I don’t know how to explain it in words perfectly so I attached a picture for reference. Take note of at least how light your coffee has to be before you find it enjoyable to drink. Consult the picture— if I gave your coffee color a green light then in my opinion original flavor leaner creamer will do a fine job. If I gave your coffee color a yellow light then I’m on the fence about you using this alone, but if you plan to use additional sugar-substitutes or diet coffee syrups this then I think they’ll make a great combo for you. If i gave your coffee a red light— move on to the next product if you don’t want to use double or triple servings. Flavor— There’s no coconut like taste if that’s what people were expecting — it has its own mild taste and the sweetness is detectable but understated. The “natural flavors” are used to flavor this are very light and non-distinguished whatever they may be. I assume this is because it’s the “original” flavor and brands usually like to keep the “original flavor” of a product more neutral and versatile. Perhaps buy one of the other varieties that are distinctively flavored if you want a more flavor from your creamer; but relying on powder creamers for much else besides minor flavor & lightening up the coffee is a risk if you’re gonna spring for a specialty product. Even non diet products like NJoy advertise having sugar along side their powder creamer. For someone looking for sweet, strong, & distinctive flavoring Id recommend something like Jordan’s skinny syrups over leaner creamer— but they don’t cream/lighten. **A 4 star rating for flavor, it didn’t disappoint me but it’s not impressive compared to other store creamers** **+1 star for overall rating, it delivered what I expected and no less.** *** Leaner Creamer’s Ease of Use: A drawback. The amount you need clumps up in your drink and doesn’t dissolve easily on its own like other creamers. You can’t just dump it in while the coffee has cooled down some and let a beverage stirrer handle it, it’s too finicky. I have found the best way to do this is to use a fraction of a teaspoon at a time. Pour 1 leveled spoonful into your STILL HOT coffee as you firmly and quickly stir with a regular metal spoon for around 10 to 15 seconds. Wait a few seconds to see if it has fully dissolved. If a couple small clumps remain use the BACK of the spoon and gently press the clumps against the side of the mug this easily weakens & disintegrates the clumps so the next time you stir they will dissolve easily. Then add in the next 1/3 or 1/2 a teaspoon and repeat until you’ve reached 2 teaspoons or desired amount. This process shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes. Smaller Spoonfuls do dissolve faster but it takes more time to finish and it can get annoying. Any bigger then you start getting into territory where you have to fight the clumps to dissolve and it’s frustrating. If you have the correct measuring spoons— which I infer most calorie and weight conscious people DO, then it’s easy to put the right amount and follow the directions. If you don’t, you’re gonna have to eyeball it and guess. I included a picture on the off chance it will help anyone. **+0 star for overall rating, this was the biggest flaw of the product by far and it delays you in the morning** *** Leaner Creamer’s Synergy: This plays well with other things you’d put in your coffee, which is a benefit of the mild flavor. I like to use 1 serving of Splenda with fiber jar sometimes but prefer Sweet n low liquid sweetener as my regular sugar substitute because even if I were to use ten times the suggested serving size it still wouldn’t add a full calorie. lol. I put 1 to 2 drops per ounce of fluid in my coffee and teas to make them sweet. Combined with leaner creamer they make a great team. No complaints. It also doesn’t interfere with the individual flavors of Jordan’s Syrups and actually elevates it. Discovering how well this product improves others has been one of my favorite things. **+1 star for overall rating, very pleased**

This creamer surprised me!! I've been trying to find a creamer in place of coffeenate,that's good tasting,good gut feeling, a cleaner choice, I went thru a lot of creamers,this creamer is it,taste good I don't even add any type of sugar,I will buy again, I just got one coz Ive spent so much money just to fine one I liked and better choice!

I was so hopi g this would tast well in my coffee. Yuk! It has no taste. Coffee is bitter and I usually use Liquid creamer I. My coffee to cut the acid. I love the Iingredients except it isn’t sugar free.

I like this because most creamers have hydrogenated oils or trans fats and I don't want that stuff in my body. So this is the one creamer that tastes good it takes a little bit to make it dissolve, it's not like most of the mainstream Brands. They dissolve easier, this one you have to really mix it well with the spoon, but it does mix and it's much healthier! Also tastes good and it has take some of the acidity out of the coffee and gives it that caramel taste.

I love this brand i have been using this creamer with my coffee for years 😍

I did not even get the product. I got an empty bag with some hand cream samples
