Ingredients

FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of allulose or Swerve?
While you can substitute regular sugar, it will increase the carb count and may affect the keto-friendliness of the creamer. For best results on keto, stick with low-carb sweeteners like allulose or Swerve.
Do I have to use collagen protein powder?
No, collagen powder adds extra protein and creaminess but you can omit it if you prefer. The creamer will still be delicious and flavorful without it.
