Best non-dairy cream to replace half and half

[Anonymous]

I am looking for an alternative to half and half that is dairy free, lower cal and keto/low carb friendly. I have tried several things but can’t find anything that is thick and creamy vs. watery.

Any recommendations?

There is nothing that can replace half and half, there just isn’t.

Are you looking for a replacement for coffee creamer? Or to use in baking/cooking? If for coffee, I love the Chobani Oat Milk Extra Creamy. But I've not used it to replace half and half in baking/cooking.

Disclaimer I have no idea how it stacks up nutritionally, because I'm only trying to avoid dairy for digestive reasons.

Coffee Mate comes pretty closed.

Nutpods

Nutpods is the closest I have found that can replicate the mouthfeel of half and half. It comes in different flavors but I find the plain variety the best.

I use the Barista version of Oatly and it's pretty good.

Is this for health reasons? Asking out of curiosity, no snark intended so please don't take it that way. If you're doing keto the last thing I would think you'd be looking for is a low-calorie/dairy free alternative to half/half. If anything you'd be looking at full-fat cream.

NP, and I wondered this as well--I'm on a keto diet for health reasons, and I need the full fat creamer to keep up my fats to stay in ketosis. Maybe OP has a problem with dairy?

Giant sells lactose free half and half. It is very much like regular half and half. Would that help?

+2. I have tried everything. Nutpods is tolerable but not at all the same.

Silk has a half oat half coconut that’s the closest i’ve found.

NP - I'm going to look up nutpods! I love half and half for my coffee, cant do anything waterery-er (sp?), but that sounds interesting.
