The dusty creamer aisle is one of the last bastions of the grocery store that still hasn't seen significant innovation. Sure, conventional non-dairy creamers have been around forever—but they're often filled with spooky ingredients such as partially hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors and cellulose (eek!).

At Natural Products Expo East 2018, the abundance of new, cleaner creamer brands exhibiting on the show floor indicate that this category is primed for an overhaul. Here are some notable examples that editors Jessie Shafer and Jenna Blumenfeld tasted.
