About Coffee mate Natural Bliss
Natural Bliss launched in 2011 as a simpler-ingredients line under Nestlé's Coffee mate brand, built around a short dairy formula of milk, cream, sugar and natural flavor with no artificial colors or flavors, no oils or gums, and no rBST. On June 18, 2017, Nestlé extended the line beyond dairy for the first time, introducing Vanilla Almond Milk, Caramel Almond Milk, Hazelnut Almond Milk and Sweet Crème Coconut Milk creamers made with real almonds, coconuts from Sumatra, and vanilla from Madagascar, giving the brand a genuinely plant-based option under a name most shoppers still associate with dairy.
That history matters on the shelf: Natural Bliss sells both a real-dairy Sweet Cream creamer and a dairy-free almond milk creamer in near-identical packaging, so the flavor line and the ingredient panel, not the brand name, are what tell you which one you're holding. In our own testing for a non-dairy roundup, the Vanilla Flavored Almond Milk creamer's panel read clean: almond milk, sugar, coconut oil, pea protein, baking soda, sea salt, guar gum, natural flavor and gellan gum, with no sodium caseinate anywhere on it, unlike Coffee mate's own flagship powder on the same shelf.

Coffee mate Natural Bliss products we rated highly
Natural Bliss Vanilla Flavored Almond Milk Coffee Creamer, 32 Fl Oz
A genuinely dairy-free product from a brand family most shoppers assume can't be: the full panel reads almond milk, sugar, coconut oil, pea protein, baking soda, sea salt, guar gum, natural flavor and gellan gum, with no sodium caseinate anywhere on it. It's a purpose-built creamer rather than a plant milk pressed into service as one, so it pours thicker than a carton of almond milk, and it holds a 4.6 average across 2,401 ratings, a solid record for a refrigerated item most people buy in a store rather than online. It's also the least expensive bottle in our non-dairy roundup, making it a realistic everyday option rather than one to ration by the teaspoon.

- The Natural Bliss Vanilla Almond Milk creamer is a top pick in our non-dairy coffee creamer testing, holding a 4.6 average across 2,401 ratings.
- Its ingredient panel is genuinely clean for the category: almond milk, sugar, coconut oil, pea protein, baking soda, sea salt, guar gum, natural flavor and gellan gum, with no sodium caseinate, unlike some of Nestlé's own dairy-adjacent creamer powders.
- Nestlé built real plant-based credibility into the line at launch in 2017, sourcing real almonds, Sumatran coconuts and Madagascar vanilla for the original almond and coconut milk creamers rather than a generic flavor substitution.
- It's a purpose-built creamer formulated to go into coffee, so it pours thicker in a cup than a carton of drinking almond milk repurposed as a creamer.
- It's the most accessible dairy-free pick in our roundup, a supermarket-priced single bottle rather than a specialty multipack, which makes it a practical everyday choice for readers avoiding dairy.
