⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high sugar content (20g per 100g) can cause rapid blood-sugar spikes, especially for those with insulin sensitivity or diabetes. To counteract this, use a measured splash (1-2 tablespoons) and pair your drink with a source of protein or healthy fat, like eggs or nuts, to slow sugar absorption.

FAQ
Is SILK Hazelnut Creamer vegan?
Yes, it is made from plant-based ingredients and contains no dairy or animal products.
Can I froth this creamer?
It can be lightly frothed, but it won't produce the same stable, microfoam as dairy milk due to its lower protein content. It's best used as a flavoring agent.
How does it differ from hazelnut milk?
Hazelnut creamer is a formulated beverage additive with added oils, sweeteners, and thickeners for a richer texture and stronger flavor. Hazelnut milk is a more straightforward, often less sweet, drink made primarily from hazelnuts and water.
