Hiyyyaaa! It’s been a bit since I’ve posted. We’ve been focusing a lot on YouTube lately, and while still working a 9-5, it’s been hard to stay consistent with videos and the blog. I wanted to hop on and write a nutpods sweetened review to get back into the swing of things again. So let’s get into it! 😉
nutpods sweetened review
If you’ve followed the blog/our Instagram for a while, you know how much I love nutpods. I drink them in my coffee every morning. If you’ve never had nutpods, they’re a dairy-free, sugar-free coffee creamer that somehow still tastes amazing. I’ve used them in a bunch of recipes (gluten-free birthday cake donuts, pumpkin cold foam cold brew, healthy(ish) pumpkin spice donuts) and honestly, I can’t get enough.
Most of their flavors are unsweetened, which I love, but sometimes you just need a lil something more. SO when they came out with sweetened creamers a few months ago (which are still dairy-free and sugar-free) I was immediately excited. I couldn’t wait to test out all the flavors and see if they were as tasty as their regular creamers.
So for this review, I decided to try the sweetened French Vanilla, Sweet Creme, Caramel, and their limited-time Cookie Butter flavor. Mary also tried the first 3 flavors in the video, but she did her taste test a little bit differently than I did… Watch to find out 👀

I’m going to kick things off strong with the most fun flavor (in my opinion)… Cookie butter!
Cookie Butter
Cookie butter is the most recent sweetened flavor to come out. I absolutely love cookie butter from Trader Joe’s and will eat it on basically anything 😂 So before even trying this flavor, I already had a pretty good idea that I’d like it.
And… drum roll, please… My prediction came true. This ended up being my absolute favorite flavor of the four. It’s perfectly sweet and tastes like melted-down cookie butter in coffee. I couldn’t get enough of this one!
I bought a 3-pack of these babies and am embarrassed to say… I finished them in less than 2 weeks. *I may drink too much coffee for my own good.* I’ll definitely be buying more soon.
Rating: 9/10
I’d give these a 9/10 because even though they’re my favorite, there’s still a slight Stevia aftertaste. Granted, I’m sensitive to foods with Stevia in them, so I’d knock off a point for any food/drink that includes even a teensy bit of it.
Overall, the Stevia aftertaste wasn’t too bad. It was honestly barely there. It wasn’t the nutpod’s fault, it’s more about my sensitivity to Stevia.
Outside of that, the flavor is super addicting and tastes delicious in both hot coffee and iced coffee. If you’re a cookie butter fan, put this on your “must-try” list.
French Vanilla
The OG coffee flavor… French vanilla. Honestly, it’s the OG for a reason, because you can’t really go wrong with vanilla-flavored coffee. The flavors go together like peanut butter and jelly (maybe even better…)
This nutpods flavor didn’t disappoint. It was sweet, but not too sweet, and could easily be paired with other flavors if you wanted. It’s so versatile!
I grew up drinking coffee with vanilla coffee mate and vanilla lattes, so this flavor has a special place in my heart. If you’re a vanilla coffee lover, you’ll love this one.
Rating: 8/10
I knocked off an extra point on this one because even though it’s really tasty, I still liked the cookie butter better. That being said, this is a great go-to and I’d absolutely reach for it any morning. If you want a creamer you can count on, this is a great choice.
It tastes pretty dang similar to vanilla Coffee Mate, which is impressive since it’s vegan and sugar-free.
Sweet Creme
I was really excited to try this one because I’m a big sweet creme coffee fan. However, it missed the mark a little bit. Which thinking back, is to be expected, because the 2 main ingredients in sweet creme are cream and sugar… Neither of which nutpods have.
This was a really great flavored creamer, it just didn’t really taste like sweet creme.
If you’re a huge sweet creme fan and are specific on the taste you’re expecting, you probably won’t love this one.
However, it’s still delicious. If you aren’t going into it with any expectations, it’s pretty dang good.
Rating: 7/10
It wasn’t as good as the previous 2 flavors and it didn’t necessarily taste like what it was “supposed to” in my opinion. But it was still really yummy. I’d never turn it away if it was offered to me.
Caramel
I’ll start this off by saying I’m not a big caramel fan. Especially caramel coffee. I’d almost always rather have a different flavor. So I didn’t go into this one with high expectations.
But… I was pleasantly surprised. It actually ended up being comparable to the first two flavors. If you’re typically a caramel coffee lover, I think you’d love this one. It’s sweet, but not overpowering, and has a really great caramel flavor.
It tastes like if you melted down a caramel candy into coffee… But still is somehow sugar-free and dairy-free! I don’t know how they do it. Magic, I tell ya.
Rating: 7/10
Although I was surprised by how much I liked this one, I’d still choose the cookie butter or vanilla over it. I’d say this was similar to the sweet creme (for me.)
If you’re a caramel stan, this will more than likely be your go-to and may even be a 10/10 for you. It’s all about personal opinion at that point.
nutpods sweetened review: final thoughts
Overall, these flavors were all incredible and really defied my expectations. I’m not usually a big fan of anything sweetened with Stevia, but in my opinion, these flavors masked the Stevia taste pretty well.
Having a sweetened option makes my love of nutpods grow tenfold. Sometimes, you just need a little sweetness in your life. (By sometimes, I mean every dang day for me these past few weeks 😉)
I blew through these creamers and am gonna have to order more soon.
If you’re on the market for a vegan/dairy-free and sugar-free coffee creamer that still tastes amazing, these are 100% for you.
