Whole 30 Coffee: 17 Recipes That Taste Creamy (2024)

FAQs

How do you make coffee taste better on Whole30? ›

Add a Whole30-compatible creamer.

One community favorite is nutpods, with unsweetened flavors ranging from French Vanilla to Toasted Marshmallow. Or try Bubs MCT Oil Powder, using an electric frother to combine—the longer you froth, the creamier it becomes.

Cappuccino. A coffee drink known for its creamy texture and smooth, balanced flavor. This coffee beverage is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam on top.

You can drink it black, add unsweetened compatible nutpods, coconut milk, almond milk, or add cinnamon or vanilla beans to the brew. But remember, Whole30 guidelines exclude milk, cream, non-compatible milk substitutes, and added sweeteners—including date paste or stevia (more on that below).”

To keep your sauce and condiment situation on track, make sure you add the following to your Whole30 shopping list: Herbs and spices (such as basil, oregano, cinnamon, and turmeric)

Grind your beans a little finer.

Smaller grounds extract faster, so if you change nothing other than your grind size, you can increase the total extraction to produce a flavor that's a little more bold or full-flavored.

Adding creamer to your coffee grounds before brewing is a great way to add flavour and sweetness to your coffee. It will also help to create a creamy texture, making for a smooth and decadent cup of joe.

Half and Half – just the right amount of creaminess for a cup of coffee without creating an oily film. Half and half is essentially equal parts of milk and heavy cream so you can make your own half and half if you want to. Sweetened condensed milk – use a standard 14 oz jar. It adds a milky sweetness.

Whole, Reduced-Fat or Skim? A general rule of thumb in choosing your milk: the more fat that exists in the milk, the richer and creamier it will taste. Which makes whole milk the go-to option for most coffee bars. At about 3-4% fat content, it achieves an ideal balance of taste and texture when mixed with coffee.

Though diet sodas and sugary beverages are off-limits on the Whole30 diet, you can drink water, herbal teas, coffee, and any other liquids that don't contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners. Fruit juice, when 100% pure, is also acceptable on occasion.

While it's not highly processed like its liquid or powdery cousins, the only purpose of stevia is to sweeten something that was not already sweet. As such, this rules out all forms of stevia during your Whole30 elimination.

Why are potatoes OK on Whole30? ›

But white potatoes are an accessible, nutrient-dense, whole food, and it was an easy call to bring them back into the Whole30 along with other starches and varieties of potatoes. They were added back into the program in 2014, with the exception of commercially-prepared fries or chips.

Nutpods. Nutpods is the ONLY officially Whole30 Approved (liquid) coffee creamer available!

Fruits Whole30-approved favorites include: Apricots. Blackberries. Blueberries.

IS POPCORN WHOLE30? No — popcorn is made from a whole grain (dried corn AKA popcorn kernels), and grains are eliminated on the Whole30 diet.

Coffee sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg gives you the smell and taste of sweetness, coupled with health benefits. Cinnamon and nutmeg are attributed to have anti-inflammatory properties. The ancient Asian spices are a prime choice for flavour and taste.

Add spices directly to your coffee grounds.

Spices such as cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg can be sprinkled directly over the fresh grounds in your brewer. As hot water is filtered through the grounds, the flavor of the spices will be extracted into your cup.

Start off with a half strength coffee. The more you dilute your cup the less intense the coffee flavours will be in it. Add in some sugars or syrups even to dull down the flavours even more. Don't jump straight to black coffee, stick to your milk based drinks like your lattes, cappuccinos or mochas for the beginning.
