I got some dried full fat creamer, it tastes enough like the real stuff if you dissolve it in the coffee, but then I realized that I only like the cream when I am essentially making a desert drink.
Now I only drink coffee with cream/milk if I get a cortado from a shop, or poured on ice cream at home.
Heres a link to the Heavy Cream powder I had used. If you are in Baltimore Id be happy to give like half a pound away lol. They also make milk/butter but in my mind all of those are the same thing with just less butter fat in them

I see. In that case, yes, you'll have to go with a protein source as the carrier. Sodium Caseinate is the most common, though I've actually tried a sample of oil spray-dried onto a rice protein carrier, and it turned out a lot better than I expected. When and if we make a complete, just-add-water hypoallergenic keto mix, we'd probably go with that.
If you're okay with dairy, though, why not just use a heavy cream powder instead? Too high in carbs?
I asked the same question a while back. Was out for about a month with no access to refrigeration. I survived, and lost a bunch of weight, good times.
One person had recommended using more MCT oil to meet your caloric intake. I did a couple times, but it can be pretty rough on your digestive tract, so unless you build a tolerance plan on going to the bathroom frequently.
I ended up using a powdered [heavy cream.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCV3QRW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Worked great, just took a little more prep time. I just mixed the powder with water, added the MCT oil and the ketochow.
Chris pointed out previously that once mixed you should treat it like milk and keep it refrigerated. I simply drank it on the spot, actually wasn't bad at all and kept my energy levels up.
For in between snacks I just carried some meat sticks and nuts. Worked out fine and I didn't have to break keto. Hope that helps!
Have you tried a heavy cream powder. I find that the powder works better for me than actual milk.

Did you know there's heavy cream powder available at Amazon? the serving size is one tablespoon, but that's A LOT for a cup of coffee.
I find it tastes really good when mixed with coffee, foods etc: Powdered Heavy Cream
This would be awesome to take on the road. Those are a little pricey for me. I found a cheaper one, but there isn't any nutrition info. Grrrrrr. http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Powder-Hoosier-Hill-Farm/dp/B00OCV3QRW/ref=sr_1_130?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1413389603&sr=1-130
the brand I purchased was Hoosier, and I was pleased with it -- repeating that it does not dissolve easily

I don't know if this is the best powdered heavy cream for keto,I just remember his being my preliminary choice

Always wanted to try this.
Hard to get.
For me, I bring a small container of table cream to work on Monday. Lasts the week in the fridge. I'm using last weeks and it's a bit sourish today.
All I see listed is “sweet cream solids”, no maltodextrin or anything.

This one has nutrition info and is basically the same as Heavy Cream (0.5g/serving)
OP- So currently I follow a low-carb, high fat diet. I think it's actually very well suited for the trail, as fat is calorie dense (less weight/space), and may require less prep. Also hiking hard you will be burning a lot of fat anyway, so you may suffer less dramatic blood sugar swings if your diet reinforces rather than countervails this trend.
At home I eat salads+avocado, sometimes olives, always cheese, olive oil, vinegar, plus cold cuts or roast chicken slices for lunch and dinner, and generally some Belgiosio mozzarella snack cheese plus an apple for breakfast, and some fruit as dessert after dinner. For a hot drink, I like to use unsweetened cocoa powder- a couple to 3 tbs of Equal Exchange baking cocoa, plus some Belgian cocoa for some extra kick (Belgian cocoa is more acidic/bitter). I mix in 2 tbs of heavy cream. This is relatively high fiber, low carb, high in nutrients. Also coffee.
Since I go nearly stoveless at home, here's what I've come up with for a meal replacement on the trail: a shake made from:
Vegetarian trail protein shake:
Vitamins and minerals base
Fats/fiber: Powdered avocado
Fats/taste: Powdered heavy cream
Protein/other nutrients:
Powdered Spirulina
Protein/fiber/other nutrients
Powdered Chlorella
Taste/some carbs/fiber:
Cocoa (2/3 Baking, 1/3 Belgian)
Note that this is only what I've planned, although I've made pretty tasty shakes before using whey protein, avocado, cocoa, and strawberries.
For solid food, I plan on bringing dried apples, freeze-dried strawberries, cheese, Wild Zora's meat/veggie bars (excellent, especially the lamb), Chudabeef beef jerk (best beef jerky- low sugar, tasty, though go easy on beef jerky in general), and nuts. Also the aforementioned cocoa and Starbucks Via.
I also plan on bringing some Better than Bouillon and freeze-dried veggies, and some amount of freeze-dried meat to make either a hot broth or soup. Combined with the cocoa/coffee, this will be the only use of a stove I will have.
I will also be bringing some pemmican in case I find I haven't brought enough food otherwise, since it's probably literally the most calories per weight you can carry.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas!
Edit: Also I think that any or all of vitamins, minerals (especially electrolytes), protein, and fats could be what you need more of on the trail.
My life was changed when I found Heavy Cream Powder!
Sorry I'm new to Intermittent fasting and I see a lot mixed answers about this, but I want to know if I like to drink coffee, with stevia, is a tsp of coffee mate powder cream okay? I see a lot of people recommend heavy cream, is that different from heavy whipping cream?
Also why is that okay if it has a lot of fat?
