SPLENDA Sugar Free, Low Calorie French Vanilla Coffee Creamer, 8 Fl Ounces Each Bottle (Pack of 12)

My husband and I love adding a splash of liquid creamer to our morning coffee and French Vanilla is the flavor that I buy most often. I typically buy the Coffeemate French Vanilla so was interested to see how this compared. I love that it is both lactose free and sugar free, making it a healthier alternative to many other coffee sweeteners. For those that are sensitive to sugar alcohols, this does contain erythritol so be mindful when adding heaps and heaps of it to your coffee! I love the smaller sized bottles. They are great for travel or for bringing to the office. When you bring a giant bottle, everyone tends to think it's up for grabs. I don't mind sharing but I might only get one or two coffees out of a huge container before it's empty. Co-workers haven't touched these yet - probably because I only bring in one bottle at a time. I was impressed with the flavor, especially for a sugar free product. The French Vanilla flavor is definitely detectable. It isn't sickening sweet or super intense. If you want a stronger flavor, you will obviously need to add more than 1 tablespoon. I don't like it to overpower the taste of the coffee so a little splash is all I need to add a hint of creamy vanilla goodness!

The sweet cream flavor is excellent. The vanilla is sweet but has a strange chemical taste. It’s not un-drinkable but I certainly will switch back to the sweet cream variety.

Review of SPLENDA Sugar Free, Low Calorie French Vanilla Coffee Creamer, 8 Fl Ounces Each Bottle (Pack of 12) sold by Heartland Consumer Products Mexico Received with a Best By date approximately7 months from date of receipt. Many of the bottles had the last digit or two not printed as the bottles apparently were not centered when printing this information. These are small plastic bottles so are suitable for travel use, bring to work in lunchbox, etc., with caveat that these need to be refrigerated after opening. Definitely has a French vanilla taste but I found the flavor intensity or strength to be a bit weaker than some of the well-known competitors found on grocery shelves in larger bottles. Am not sure how much of this attributable to the different sweetener.

All processed coffee creamers will fall short when compared to real cream and vanilla so I'm not judging this against such a high standard. These types of creamers are more convenient and economical. This one is also greatly reduced in calories compared to standard creamers. I will say that I use Splenda everyday so I'm so accustomed to the taste that it doesn't even strike me as a sweetener with an aftertaste. People who don't drink it regularly may feel differently. This did a good job of making my coffee lighter and less bitter. It also added sweetness and a nice vanilla flavor, though the strength of the vanilla varied based on the type of coffee (stronger or weaker) that I used it in. This was easy to decant and the bottle size is convenient and easy to keep in the refrigerator after opening. It also worked okay with black tea instead of milk in a pinch (when I was out of milk).

So many coffee creamers have no flavor or taste oily to me after a few sips. This brand however, has a rich vanilla flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness to it. I only use a tablespoon, as suggested, in my coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much flavor it had. I like the small containers, too, as the bottle can fit anywhere or even in my lunch box to take with me to work. This is one of the best flavored creamers out there. It's low calorie, meets most keto standards, and tastes delicious. I highly recommend it and love the flavor!
