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.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
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.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
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.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
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.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
Stevia
Stevia increases insulin secretion by stimulating pancreatic cells and improves insulin sensitivity
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
Steviosides are used by lactobacilli and bifidobacteria as a nutrient source
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24...
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.sciencedirect.com/science...

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

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.
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.

I watch your videos all the time. I love them. I would have never known to make something like this for my morning coffee
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.

What’s the brand of the vanilla ghee?
Thanks for doing this video. I have been looking for different options for my coffee in the morning.
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!
My creamer of choice...Nut pods. Almond, coconut milk and vanilla. No sugar, no carbs and tastes good...
Love Thomas’ Tshirt! Operation Underground Railroad does amazing work to help women & kids ( both boys & girls ) against human trafficking! 😘🙏💖🥰🇺🇸

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.

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).

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).
I love this video. Do you have any information for people post cholecystectomy since it plays such a large role in digestion???

protein powders can work well as a "creamer" as well as flavoring, though not sure about the coffee's thermic effects upon the branched chained macro lipidity dipities or the matrix of pulsing microscopic globular squiggly things. so take that as my caveat emptor. as well i'd mix my coffee into my shakes. huge thanks

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!
No coffee for me..hot green tea with to keep my fasting going👍
Are any of these coffee recipes good to have during a fasting period?
I love using cinnamon and ginger, would adding cayenne flash if I did all 3 together?
Hi! Newbie here...which is better and why...a2 milk or pasture raised grass fed milk?
Do we lose benefit by not using fresh ginger?
Can you use any of these during intermittent fasting hours? Or will they all break a fast?
by any chance would you have an updated recommended creamer recipe? ketoish plus other general wellness additions?
Quick question. Since I’m doing if and not eating until noon or even 2 pm almost every day if idin’t do a longer fast would you say adding one of these creamers to my morning coffee offset the advantage of preserving the fast longer?

Thomas, would Banana peel tea be an adequate sweetener for coffee? I’m not sure how much sugar or carbs are in the tea itself once it’s been boiled then simmered for a good while (30 min or so). Perhaps you can make a video that would include the nutritional value of banana peel tea, and perhaps if it’s worth including the actual banana or not. And just how much nutrients you can roughly get from the tea and how many actual bananas to use for this purpose.. that would be awesome 😎
