About Coffee mate

Coffee Mate is a non-dairy coffee creamer first introduced in 1961 by Nestlé. It is commonly used as an alternative to milk or cream in coffee, providing creaminess and flavor without refrigeration. While versatile and convenient, Coffee Mate is a processed product typically made from hydrogenated oils, corn syrup solids, and artificial or natural flavors. Most varieties are lactose-free and contain approximately 10–20 calories per teaspoon, with no significant amounts of protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals. However, it does contribute to your daily intake of fats and sugars, particularly in its flavored or sweetened variations. Coffee Mate is a staple in American coffee culture but is popular in other parts of the world for its long shelf life and ease of use.

• Includes low amounts of saturated fat compared to traditional cream, which may be preferable for reducing saturated fat consumption.
