For people on Weight Watchers (or WW) programs, every point is precious. Favorite foods suddenly become rationed like gold: pizza, ice cream, even buttered toast! The struggle to find even a good-tasting, point-friendly coffee creamer for Weight Watchers is very real!
For a long time, coffee creamers that tasted good always contained loads of sugar and calories. No wonder lovers of cream and sugar in their coffee think that finding a Weight Watchers approved coffee creamer is a fool’s errand.
But good news - Weight Watcher-friendly coffee creamers do exist, and no, it doesn’t take an epic quest to find them or a large chunk of change to get them!
There are dozens of Weight Watcher’s friendly coffee creamers out there. The critical difference between these creamers and traditional options is their lack of sugars, dairy, or fat. Despite lacking these ingredients, WW coffee creamers still taste great and don’t break the bank.
Check out these great creamers with two or fewer Weight Watchers SmartPoints that are sure to fix any coffee lover’s cup of joe up just the way they like it, whether that be a sweet treat or perfectly creamy caffeinated goodness!

A Note On Points and Serving Sizes
Bear in mind that most people don’t stick with a single tablespoon, pod, or serving of creamer in their coffee. In fact, most folks triple the suggested serving size to achieve the right amount of sweetness and creaminess for their tastes.
If a single serving of coffee creamer isn’t tickling the taste buds, be sure to remember and add the right amount of points for every additional serving dropped into the mug.
Additionally, for people who tend to eyeball instead of dig out an actual tablespoon to measure their creamer, note that there is more room for error and accidental points in this serving method. Remember, even expert chefs use tablespoons to get correct measurements.
How to Choose the Right Weight Watchers Compatible Coffee Creamer for YOU
Choosing the appropriate coffee creamer is different for everyone. Take into account some of these factors when choosing a new coffee creamer:
Weight Watchers Plan
Green plans have a minimum daily point value of 30, but it varies depending on age, gender, weight, and height. There is more room to work with the points a luxury like coffee creamer takes in this plan.
Purple plans have a minimum daily point value of 16 and provide more wiggle room on zero-point foods (including even pasta!) That said, purple programs tend to have fewer points to juggle than green, and a lesser-valued creamer may be best for conserving points.
Blue plans have a minimum daily point value of 23, but it increases depending on the same factors as the other plans (height, weight, etc.) Most low-point coffee creamers (including a 2 point splurge!) are manageable on this program.
Lifestyle
Choosing a creamer relies partly on understanding the time you might have to prepare the coffee, how often you would use the creamer, and if you need to take it with you on occasion.
For example, on-the-go folks benefit from the portability of pods but miss out on the diversity of liquid creamers. Folks who drink liquid creamers may overdo it by accident since it isn’t directly portion-controlled like pods.
Allergies
Allergies and dietary restrictions play a role in deciding what cream works best for you.
It’s important to note that not all creamers contain lactose, even if they are a liquid. Additionally, not all creamers are gluten-free or kosher. Many non-dairy creamers are nut-based, meaning individuals with any nut allergies have to steer clear.
Be sure to read up on ingredients before purchasing a creamer.
