Silk makes an almond milk vanilla coffee creamer that is very good. It stays creamy and doesn't taste like watered down almond milk in coffee.

    I love So Delicious coconut milk creamers. Silky, flavored or unflavored, and 35 cals per tbsp.

    Nestlé coffemate chocolate chip cookie creamer is also 35 calories per Tbs of awesomeness . I never substituted my creamer, everything that I tried that was less calories just wasn't worth it. I'd rather have 35 or 70 calories a day of something that tastes good, than suffer through either nothing or something gross. That being said, if you like that substitution more power to you!

    I wanted to try that chocolate chip flavored one... I currently use the Salted Caramel Mocha coffeemate. I don't do substitutions in my coffee.

    Its very good! How's the salted caramel mocha? I've tried the Mexican chocolate and the snickerdoodle as well and loved it. ID coffee creamer on the other hand continues to disappoint

    If anything, a splash of fat-free milk. But 99.99% of the time, I'm all black. Have acquired a taste for it!

    I like the salted caramel one it definitely tastes more caramel than mocha... the color threw me off a bit as it looks like chocolate milk.

    2 cups of coffee, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of skim milk is doing it for me currently. Of course, that's 255 calories (but I skip breakfast and often lunch)

    I use fat free half n half. I have a sensitivity to almonds that won't kill me but makes me bloated like crazy. Since my first baby I've disliked all flavored coffees and creamers. I used to love hazelnut but now I'm a plain drinker.

    I just wish they wouldn't put sugar in those flavored coffee creamers. I don't use sugar in my coffee and so I find those creamers just way too sweet. Like Phoenix_Down, I'd rather use half & half and count the calories because the other varieties are just not worth it flavor wise.

    10% plain ol' half and half, but just a tiny amount - half a tablespoon for me, barely any calories to count. I've never liked my coffee to taste like milk or cream.

    I can drink good coffee black and often do at home, or my second 1/2 cup is black.

    Even when I seemed to react to lactose in milk this small amount of 10% in my coffee never bothered me at all.
