Let's make our OWN CREAMER! I'm talking tasty creamers to add to your morning coffee that have amazing health and PERFORMANCE benefits!! Let's dive in and I'll see you in the COMMENTS!!
1) Coconut Cream + Cacao
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is basically the same thing as coconut milk, except the coconut meat-to-water ratio is about four-to-one
The exact antimicrobial compounds that coconut oil contains in coconut cream, too - contains lauric acid, which converts to monolaurin in the body
Additionally, lauric acid activates PPARα and PPARγ and increases fat metabolism.
Lauric acid itself is metabolized faster than other saturated fats and is burned as fuel more quickly than palmitic, stearic, oleic, elaidic, linoleic, or linolenic fatty acids. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2000 www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Lauric acid and monolaurin (lauric acid attached to glycerol backbone) have potent antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, including against H. pylori, Candida, Clostridium, and E. Coli.
Microbes aren’t able to evolve resistance to lauric acid and monolaurin because they work through three mechanisms: (i) destruction of gram-positive bacterial cell membranes and lipid-coated viruses, (ii) interference with microbial signal transduction and transcription, and (iii) stabilization of human cell membranes.
Lauric acid/monolaurin is the strongest antimicrobial in human breastmilk. Furthermore, lauric acid levels are lower in sick mothers and infants. Nutrients 2017 www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Cacao
Minerals: Rich in copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium - antioxidants: Rich in catechins, flavanols, and polyphenols that protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Improved blood pressure and flow
Myostatin restricts muscle growth to prevent hypertrophy - Epicatechin decreases the myostatin production in the body and it increases the production of another protein called follistatin
This protein promotes muscle growth and helps minimize the effect of myostatin in the body
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
2) Ghee + Vanilla Bean
Unlike butter, ghee and other types of clarified butter contain virtually no lactose and are very low in casein - also contains butyric acid
3) Laird Superfood Creamer + Turmeric
Laird Superfood Creamer
Coconut Milk Powder
Organic Coconut Sugar
Aquamin (calcium from marine algae)
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Shelf stable
No artificial flavors, colors, or additives
No highly-refined sugar
4) Hemp Milk + Cinnamon + Cayenne + Stevia
Cinnamon
Cinnamon has the ability to imitate the activity of insulin in the body
Cayenne
Increases thermogenesis + it’s been shown to inactivate NF-kB
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Stevia
Stevia increases insulin secretion by stimulating pancreatic cells and improves insulin sensitivity
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Steviosides are used by lactobacilli and bifidobacteria as a nutrient source
www.ncbi.nlm.ni...
5) Coconut Cream + Ginger + Mint
Ginger
Blood glucose control: Gingerols, particularly (S)-[6]- and (S)-[8]- gingerol, promoted glucose uptake significantly in (cultured rat) skeletal muscle cells
Mint (peppermint has some cool benefits)
Peppermint helps with digestive issues is because it activates an anti-pain channel in the colon: www.sciencedir...

[@michaelmccartney799]

just want to thank you for such great information. I have lost 57 pounds since I have started watching your channels. I feel better than i have in 30 years!

[@KennethBackpacks]

I’m that crazy guy who would add all of them into one coffee to reap all benefits 🤣🤣

[@creinicke1000]

Crazy girl would do it too.. :-)

[@texasgrannieof2]

Me too!

[@RedMandMs]

Drinking it now! ROTFL!

[@3P44CT]

Was thinking the same thing 💯🤣👌

[@CathyScott1030]

That would become my ”panacea creamer". I have a panacea powder for salad dressing, soups, and wherever else I decide to put it. 😊

[@WireHedd]

How about my mix? tbsp butter tbsp coconut cream 1/4tsp redmonds two "squirts" stevia 2 "dashes" each of cinnamon, turmeric and cacao 16oz fresh pressed coffee (I prefer medium roast for the caffeine) put it all in the blender (I have a cup that just goes right on the blender) I think this is AMAZING and it keeps me going for hours if eating is just not convenient. I'll do 48-72 hr fasts using this as my fast breaker. Anyway, another interesting and informative video. Thanks Thomas.

[@johsheli]

yummy!

[@shellnfaith]

I’m so glad you made this video! I am trying to help my mom get off the toxic “flavored creamer” (which actually is all bad oils and has very little cream in it) and said I’d do a deep dive on healthy hacks for her creamer. Yay!! Thanks mucho!

[@KCKarebearr]

I just bought some heavy whipping cream for creamer and now I’m intrigued with this video....

[@davidpatrickgreen5319]

Here's some added information for this video. Coconut milk and coconut cream has a very short shelf life once you open the can and it starts to go sour fairly quickly but the cool thing is as it gets sour it turns into basically coconut yogurt which taste pretty good and actually is becoming very popular in supermarkets. So after a few days if you keep it in the fridge it's going to get sour but it is still edible. I have tested it out. Since the process of getting sour is caused by various potentially gut friendly bacteria I would assume that the health benefits of coconut milk probably increase as it turns into coconut yogurt.

[@mikeganer6257]

I’ve kept coconut milk and cream in the fridge for 2+ weeks with no problem

[@davidpatrickgreen5319]

@@mikeganer6257 yes that is most likely coconut milk with some kind of preservative in it. The majority of Brands add things like sorbate or guar gum Etc but if it's just made of coconuts and water they tend to turn very quickly

[@killershootin6934]

Have you tried putting the yogurt in your coffee?

[@coquis408]

That’s why it’s unpopular in my kitchen. 🤣😂🤣

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

After a few days in my fridge, I pour the remaining coconut cream/milk into an ice cube tray and freeze it. To use, I simply melt it over low/med heat and use the preferred amount in my coffee.

[@darrenkanenaga3746]

I used your tips to create a “Mexican Chocolate” creamer...cacao, cinnamon, and cayenne, together with or without ghee, or coconut cream. It’s delicious. You don’t even need to add it to coffee, if added to coconut milk,either hot or cold, makes a delicious chocolate milk. Can’t wait to try the vanilla ghee and chocolate mint options. Costco also sells the big bag of Lairds basic creamer too... Thanks for the tips!

Thrive market has an awesome Vanilla Bean Ghee that I put in my coffee. I’m also a huge fan of the unsweetened Laird creamer and have been using it for years. Just make sure you have a frother because it doesn’t break down really easily.

[@cityguyable]

What’s the brand of the vanilla ghee?

[@tysmith1907]

Yes im trying to cut dairy from my keto lifestyle! I like that you have info on foods we can still eat without all the dairy

me too! I am going to try the coconut milk, tho I am actually doing carnivore [ lite ] not strict. I will do a small salad at times. I miss my CREAM! I can tech have it on carnivore, but, as a woman, trying to shed pounds, cream & cheese slow it way down.

I would like to see your take on the different types of cinnamon out there. Cassia (Indonesian, Chinese and Saigon) and Ceylon. Which is better in terms of health and benefits? I've been reading that Ceylon is the true cinnamon and it's better for your health. I've been using Ceylon for awhile now.

I'm addicted to the Laird creamers. They are really amazing. My wife and I have a desert coffee at night. Chocolate or Mint chocolate Lairds with a quarter tsp of lakota gold, a tsp of oatmilk,and a hit of cinnamon. It whips up into such a fantastic creamy Hot Chocolate/Coffee drink. Sooo damn good.

I’m trying to do everything you teach in the videos but my husband says “ that’s to expensive” for better meats, eggs, and products. And it’s frustrating because I want to go in full force, I had the surgery for a complete change! Any way my ? Is have you looked into Thrive Le-Vel products?

[@RABuffat]

Being a total science nerd, I’m curious about the actual scientific amounts that can induce the effects discussed here. As I watched, it’s hard to believe that a tiny dash of cayenne in a batch of any creamer can have a significant effect. Also, are those store bought desiccated versions of spices therapeutic or just over-processed? Great info; I’d just like to see more about efficacy. Thanks!

[@chadtrombley3078]

Nice info! Thank you Thomas. I do typically go for black coffee. Though occasionally on a lazy weekend I like to cream and sweeten things up. Good before long runs. It would be interesting to hear more on the quality of the coffee itself. Origins, roasting, grinding of the beans...the various types of brewing techniques...it's a whole world and I am positive there's health implications on the various levels. When you think about the fact it's something so many people imbibe every.single.day. it's got to be something putting some focus/emphasis on is worthwhile to do, right? And go!...(haha).

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

What I've learned is that coffee beans go rancid after about 5 days so fresh roasting a quantity you use in that time is best. Coffee roasters vary in price and it's not a difficult skill to learn with a bit of practice. The green beans keep for a long time so you can order in bulk. That said, coffee also has negative effects on the body and shouldn't be consumed in large amounts (more than12 oz).
