half and half

About This Food

Half and half is a blend of equal parts milk and cream, widely used in the United States as a coffee creamer or in light cooking. The calories in half and half is 18.5. It provides calcium and some protein, making it a slightly more nutritious option than just using cream. Half and half also contains vitamin A. While it's lower in fat than heavy cream, it's still a dairy product and may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivities. A typical serving is around 2 tablespoons per day. Half and half can be neutral for weight management if consumed in moderation. Consider using skim milk or almond milk for a lower-calorie alternative.
