Whole30 compliant coffee "creamers" and "milks"

I've mentioned before that discovering cashew milk at someone's recommendation after my first Whole30 was a game changer for me in my coffee drinking on future Whole30s.  Before that, I was drinking my iced Americanos black with a sprinkling of cinnamon or with a splash of Nut Pods.  See, almond milk is not my thing, and neither is coconut milk.

However, I really enjoyed Nut Pods -- which I discovered on my first Whole30 (back in January 2017!) -- which are made from coconuts and almonds.  Go figure!  My first Whole30 I went with hazelnut (one of my all time favorite coffee flavors), and since then I've tried the plain and the French vanilla.  The hazelnut is hands down my favorite of the three!  Since then, they've come out with a seasonal flavors: pumpkin spice and peppermint.  And now they have limited edition flavors: chocolate, caramel (now a staple flavor and no longer limited edition), and cinnamon swirl (also available as a 3-pack with one of each flavor).

Nut pods to me are like a creamer -- not a milk -- and therefore I use it sparingly both in volume and frequency.  But they're a great option for me when I want something a little more creamy and indulgent, but am on Whole30.  I have yet to try the limited edition flavors, but they're hanging out on the counter right next to my Nespresso machine, waiting for their moment to shine!

And if you're looking for an acceptable Whole30-complaint milk alternative, besides the MALK unsweetened cashew milk that I swear by and the New Barn unsweetened almond milk that I mentioned in the same post, I've been digging Trader Joe's Unsweetened Cashew Almond Macadamia Nut Beverage in my coffee.  I've also used it in the occasional smoothie when I want a creamy texture.

When it comes to coffee, are you a "milk" or "creamer" person?  Or, do you drink it black?  While I can drink black espresso, I cannot stand black coffee!
