Last year, I changed my eating habits and not only did I feel better, but I lost some weight as well! I managed to maintain my results for several months, but then recently found that my lazy habits were slowly making their way back into my life and a few of those unwanted pounds too! I decided enough was enough and decided to clean up my eating once again. I had been doing so well, and I wasn’t going to throw all of that away.
Previously I had given up my coffee completely, because, let’s be honest, if I can’t have it with my milk and sugar, I don’t want to have it at all. So, I began to do some research to see if I could still have my coffee (and enjoy it!) without using milk and sugar, and I came across some recipes for homemade non-dairy creamer.
Here's the recipe I tried. Let me know what you think?
