Better Half

I don't actually use these for creamer, I keep a bag of granola in my desk at work and I keep one of these in my boss's mini fridge. I struggle to find time to take a lunch or even grab a bite, and this has provided a viable and economical solution several days a week. One carton lasts for two bowls of cereal. Didn't really bother checking the nutritional content for use on cereal, but it's "good enough" in the realm of flavor as a milk replacement, even if you struggle with non-dairy-milk textures. It's also shelf stable. I'll keep buying it for this specific purpose.

My husband’s favorite brand. Once we went plant-based, my husband struggled with finding a good half&half for his coffee. He’s tried other brands and Califia Better Half is the perfect non-dairy alternative for him. It's not salty and the Unsweetened is not sweet because he doesn’t sweeten his coffee. The consistency for his coffee is just right as half/half and prefers this to the creamer. This product does not separate when he pours it in his coffee and blends well in his drink.

Love this creamer so much! Delicious taste and not too thick. Just enough to flavor your coffee a tad.I cannot find this at the grocery store anymore, so I am so thankful I can order it!

I love the product - unsweetened and sweetened. I use it all the time. I love it on berries, cereal, coffee, etc. it's very creamy and tasty. The French Vanilla doesn't taste or smell like vanilla and is very sweet - but I still like it.HOWEVER: The container is a nightmare to open - I often end up with a mess when I pull the tab off. Sometimes they're dented in transit - which makes it worse. I end up pouring the creamer into another container. I wish they'd fix this.

I typically love this product. I have purchased it 38 times. The last two times I ordered it (product expiration dates both being within Sept 2024) there was some chunky pieces that made it less than pleasant to drink. This is not normal for this product. Purchased some at a grocery store with an expiration date of January 2025 and this issue was no longer there.Went to purchase these from Amazon again thinking that with the later expiration date this should no longer be an issue, however the price upped from about 35-38$ to 55$!! I can purchase 6 in the grocery store for $36. Not worth it to order it on Amazon anymore.

AT LAST! The perfect substitute for milk for my young son and me! We cannot have dairy and have tried many varieties and brands of dairy-free milk, from rice to coconut to cashew to almond, including homemade and store-bought. Hands-down this has the best flavor and a nice creamy texture that makes a cup of coffee, a smoothie, or a bowl of cereal a delight - instead of a punishment - to enjoy, and with minimal added ingredients. I was purchasing the 16 oz containers at Whole Foods but they cost about the same as the large size on Amazon so I'm thrilled to have found this case option for the large containers and at such a reasonable price. My one wish would be that there could be an organic option for this; we try to eat all organic and definitely almonds should be produced organically.... so if that option comes along I will jump at it. Meanwhile we will enjoy this very much. To those who say this has too much fat, it has 6 g per cup and it's all healthy fat, and with zero sugar. Regardless, I'm happy to be able to add these extra calories to my son's diet as he is very thin and giving him almond or rice milk in smoothies offers almost nothing by way of fat which he really needs. Thank you Califia!!

I recently purchased the Califia Farms Unsweetened Better Half, Half And Half Substitute, and this was my very first time trying it. As someone looking for a plant-based alternative to traditional half-and-half, I had hopes for a creamy and satisfying addition to my coffee.Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the taste and texture. For me, it tasted much more like watery almond milk rather than a true half-and-half substitute. It lacked the richness and creaminess I associate with half-and-half, and it didn't provide the body I was looking for in my beverages.While the product is marketed as a "Better Half" and includes almond milk and coconut cream, the overall experience didn't live up to my expectations for a coffee creamer that could mimic the consistency and flavor of dairy half-and-half.If you're looking for a genuinely creamy and rich plant-based half-and-half alternative, this might not be the right fit, especially if you're expecting something similar to dairy.

I've tried many different options for non-dairy creamers for hot coffee and this is my favorite. It's also good in oatmeal.Note that it will not work well in cold drinks - the coconut cream sort of seperates out and it looks weird. The flavor is OK but texture is off.
