Which Coffee Creamers are lowest in sugar? Coffee creamer – that sweet creamy stuff we add to our morning brew to make them creamier and a little bit more exciting. But exactly how much sugar is in coffee creamers? This is the question I am going to be answering in this post. I have already written articles looking at the sugar content of coconut creamers (Which Coconut Creamers Are Lowest In Sugar?), almond creamers (How Much Sugar is in Almond Creamer & Are Any Sugar Free?), and oat creamers (How Much Sugar Is In Oat Creamers And Which Are Sugar Free?).
However, how much coffee is in regular dairy coffee creamers like Coffee Mate and International Delight?
In order to answer this question, I looked at the sugar content of 20 creamers – both liquid and powdered. Make sure to read to the end to find out what the lowest-sugar coffee creamers are. You may also be shocked to find out that a lot of “zero sugar” creamers still contain, well sugar.
So, let’s dig in – which coffee creamers are the lowest in sugar?
How Much Sugar is in Coffee Creamers
As a general rule, liquid coffee creamers tend to contain 3g-5g of sugar per serving. Powdered coffee creamers tend to contain 0g-1g of sugar per serving. Several “Zero Sugar” coffee creamers tend to contain 0g of sugar per serving but still contain sugar as an ingredient.
20 Lowest Sugar Coffee Creamers
In this section, I will go through my 20 picks for the best lowest-sugar coffee creamers. The list is ranked from highest sugar to lowest sugar coffee creamers.
1. International Delight Sweet & Creamy Liquid Coffee Creamer – 5g of Sugar
International Delight is one of the big coffee creamer brands, alongside Coffee Mate. As a general rule, a lot of International Delights liquid coffee creamers are sweetened with cane sugar and contain 5g of total sugar per serving.
For example, International Delight’s sweet & creamy liquid coffee creamer contains 5g of total sugar per serving.
2. International Delight White Chocolate Mocha Liquid Coffee Creamer – 5g of Sugar
International Delight’s white chocolate mocha coffee creamer also contains 5g of sugar per serving.
As a general rule, International Delights liquid coffee creamers contain 5g of sugar per serving – this is the same for all of their flavors. I won’t bore you by going through all their flavors.
3. Coffee Mate Italian Sweet Creme Liquid Creamer – 4g of Sugar
Coffee Mate’s coffee creamers can’t be quite so easily generalized in terms of sugar content. Some of their liquid creamers contain 4g of sugar such as their Italian Sweet Creme coffee creamer.
4. Coffee Mate Irish Creme Liquid Creamer – 4g of Sugar
Coffee Mate’s Irish Creme liquid creamer also contains 4g of sugar per serving.
5. Coffee Mate French Vanilla Liquid Creamer – 3g of Sugar
Coffee Mates Liquid French Vanilla creamer has a slightly lower sugar content at 3g of sugar per serving.
6. Coffee Mate Hazelnut Liquid Coffee Creamer – 3g of Sugar
Coffee Mate’s Liquid Hazelnut Coffee creamer also contains 3g of total sugar per serving.
Powdered Coffee Creamers
Okay, so we have established that most liquid coffee creamers (which aren’t marketed as sugar-free) contain 3g-5g of sugar per serving. However, this is where it starts to get interesting – a lot of the powdered coffee creamers (even those that contain sugar as the first ingredient) only contain 1g or less of sugar per serving.
Now this may partly be because a serving of powdered creamer is small at 2g a serving, whereas a serving of liquid creamer is larger. This does mean, however, that half of the serving of powdered coffee creamers is made up of sugar, but as the serving is so small it still just equates to 1g of sugar.
In comparison, a smaller percentage of liquid creamer is sugar yet the overall sugar content per serving is higher. This is because you need a larger serving of liquid coffee creamer in comparison to powder.
7. Coffee Mate Caramel Latte Powdered Coffee Creamer – 1g of Sugar
Coffee Mate caramel latte powdered coffee creamer for example only contains 1g of sugar per serving. You can see for yourself on Amazon here.

10. Coffee Mate Original Liquid Coffee Creamer – 0g of Sugar
Next up is Coffee Mate’s original liquid coffee creamer. It is so interesting that this coffee creamer contains 0g of sugar per serving. All the other 0g of sugar liquid creamers I came across in my research were marketed as “zero/no sugar” creamers.
