Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular powdered creamer instead of nondairy?

How do I adjust the sweetness of the creamer?

To adjust the sweetness, simply modify the amount of confectioners sugar you use. Start with a smaller amount and taste as you mix. You can always add more sugar, but reducing it may require additional blending to ensure it mixes well with your beverages.

Is this creamer suitable for vegan diets?
