What’s special about Picnik Vegan Creamer?
We understand that dairy isn’t for everyone, so we created this rich, silky Vegan Creamer just for you. Plant-powered for the win! Our Vegan Creamer is made from a plant-based blend of cashew, coconut cream and MCT oil.

What’s special about Picnik Collagen Creamer?
Our Collagen Creamer is deliciously rich and dairy-free. It is made with MCT Oil and grass-fed collagen to support healthy hair, skin, joints and digestion. 

Collagen is a dairy-free, flavorless protein made of amino-acids. It's actually the most abundant protein in our bodies and is essential for healthy muscles, bones, and skin. Over time as we age, internal collagen production slows down and leads to wrinkles, dry skin, and weaker joints and skeletal structure. Pure collagen protein from grass-fed cows can improve your hair, digestion, joint health, and metabolism.

INGREDIENTS + ATTRIBUTES: 

What is MCT oil?
“MCT” stands for “medium-chain triglycerides.” It is a special type of fat that’s easy for your body to digest. After consumption, MCTs are sent to the liver to be converted into fuel for the body and brain, rather than stored as fat. We use concentrated MCT oil in our products because it’s packed with the shortest-chain MCTs, meaning it can be transformed into fuel in a snap. MCTs are known to have a range of health benefits including: improved cognitive function, increased energy and metabolic function, balanced hormone levels, and maintenance of a healthy weight. 

Are any of your products Keto-Friendly? 
Yes! All Picnik Creamers are Keto-Friendly, with 0g sugar per ¼ cup serving. Our Keto Creamer is especially fabulous if you are following a ketogenic diet.

We use delicious unsalted, grass-fed butter in Picnik Keto Creamer to make it smooth, luxurious and creamy. Grass-fed butter has a different genetic makeup than conventional butter.

It's also a good source of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and trace minerals.
