What do you use in your coffee?!

mestout946

I'm trying to move away from my delicious vanilla coffee creamer to a more healthy alternative so I don't have the calorie/sugar/carb guilt after my fourth cup everyday.

I bought unsweetened vanilla almond milk and sweetened with Stevia but it's just not the same and I can't get used to it.

So I thought I would pose this question other all of you!

Thanks in advance.

I use regular sugar and half and half. My coffee is something that I plan for on a daily basis in my calorie count. I know other people change this up, but for me, it is worth it.

I'm no help probably because that's what I use - or cashew milk or almond coconut - BUT I also add some flavored sugar free torani syrup. Makes it more like the flavored coffees you get from the coffee shop. I have a ton of flavors - most are 0 calories, but a few are 5 calories. Right now I am drinking an iced coffee with unsweetened vanilla almond coconut milk and some chocolate and salted caramel sugar free torani syrups with a packet of truvia.

I like it black, have never liked it sweetened. Back when I first started drinking it I added lots of milk and years ago when I decided to transition to black (I thought it seemed more adult when I was around 25) I just gradually reduced the amount of milk I used. Nothing wrong with using milk, however, or even a small amount of creamer or cream or sugar -- typically it should not be enough to pose an issue (way less calories than some of the coffee drinks at Starbucks, etc.).

Black. Stop putting crap into your coffee.

Usually just 1 splenda packet/cup. Occasionally I will add some SF Hazelnut syrup, but not frequently.

I buy really good coffee and drink it black...really good coffee doesn't need anything. If it's a dark roast I usually will put a splash of milk in there to cut it...I prefer a medium roast. Other than that, the only time I put anything in my coffee is if I'm having a cappuccino...then obviously milk and I like to top it with cinnamon.

I use cream and one sugar in my coffee. I'd rather exercise more than change it!

One lactose free skim milk. No need for sugar/sweeteners.. enjoy the real taste of coffee and drink it for what it is supposed to do. Jolt ya.

I drink coffee hot and black. That's the only way to go (especially if you're lactose intolerant)

Since I'm doing Keto, I use heavy whipping cream or coconut oil. Never been a coffee with sweetener fan, but I'll go with others have said regarding the torani syrups. They are pretty good and I use the in other foods.

I put a small teaspoon of homemade caramel in my coffee with a splash of caramel creamer.

Sometimes I make protein coffee and add protein powder. Black coffee just doesn't taste good to me.

When I used to drink coffee, I used to just drink it black- before that, I used to add a lot of creamer, half & half, whatever made it taste creamier and rich... Then I tried hot green tea with a little honey and never looked back, lol.

You probably won't like my suggestion, either, as it doesn't add much in the way of flavor, but I use unsweetened flax milk with added protein. The brand is Good Karma and they sell a vanilla flavor as well, which is pretty good. I like the suggestion of the Torani syrups, too - those are pretty good and will give you some sweetness.

Black. Hand Ceramic Burr ground. With a Aeropress. It's the best stuff on the planet.

I like my Coffee like the Death Star. Large, Dark, and big enough to destroy small planets.

I have learned to enjoy coffee black. I used to drink it with lots of sugar and cream, to the point people would joke about having coffee with my sugar. I looked at the calories and decided I would try coffee black. At first I didn't really like it, but then I realized that without all the sugar and cream I could actually taste the coffee, and taste the difference between different coffee types. Now I can appreciate how different beans from different places and different roasts each have their own character. I missed that completely when I buried the flavor of coffee with sugar and cream.

I like a cup of 2% milk with espresso. Aeropress like CincyNeid says. I just put the cup of milk in the coffee and have a Kashi bar for breakfast instead of having cereal and milk with black coffee. Usually put a little sugar in but with a whole cup of milk it really tastes great without it too. Sometimes add a little vanilla, or use molasses instead of sugar, or some cinnamon (though cinnamon doesn't like to blend in there, sort of sits on top.)

We have a milk foamer pot, too, so we can make fancy lattes.

I hate stevia, bleah. It tastes bad.

Black. Have you tried using quality beans and making your coffee with a French press or aeropress? Sometimes I'll make homemade vanilla hazelnut milk and add that.

Fat free half and half! It's a little sweeter than regular and 20 cals per serving. I have 70 cals for coffee pre logged for everyday

I like mine black. I only drink Dunkin Donuts k-cups French vanilla or Hazelnut (my favorite) at work and home. I accidentally took a sip of my husband's coffee (with sugar) and had to spit it out, dreadful!
