    I actually use powered milk to cut down on the calories. To sweeten it a bit, I'll use Splenda or sugar free syrup.

    At home I usually drink it black. I add cream as a treat when I have it out someplace...like at brunch. On the very rare occasions I go to a coffee place, I usually get a latte (hot or iced) with full fat milk. No sweetener.

    Every once in a while if I want a little low cal dessert, I add cocoa powder and a little stevia (I dislike artificial sweeteners and stevia is natural) and make something resembling a mocha.

    Before I weaned myself off the sugar/other sweeteners, I used to buy Jordan's skinny syrup and add those at home. They taste great (much better than Torani and other brands in my opinion) and have lots of flavors.

    For Starbucks, I've set the limit of keeping my drinks near the 150 calorie mark for as much as I can squeeze in, and of course, working them in as a snack. I'll get one of the following depending on my mood:
    • Venti Light Coffee Frap w/Sugar Free Vanilla OR Skinny Mocha sauce if I want chocolate (160 cals, depending on skinny mocha sauce)
    • Grande Blonde Cappuccino with a splenda or two, or a pump of SF Vanilla
    • Doubleshot on Ice (Grande = 100 cals / Venti = 170 cals) - I'll often sub the classic syrup with SF Vanilla, which drops the calories a good bit
    • Grande Skinny Caramel Macchiato (140 cals)

    I used to be a soy latte person, but as I was drinking 3 a day the Kj added up, so I thought I'd try drinking it black. It took a couple of weeks before I honestly enjoyed it, but now I simply can't imagine it any other way. If you actually like coffee, it's nice to be able to taste it!

    I have just weened myself over the years from lots of cream and sugar to just a couple Tbsp of flavored creamer with no added sugar. Good coffee is key. I also buy a good all natural creamer.

    I am sure it has been said but I will second everyone that said to grind your own beans and use a French press. I am kinda loving my new Vietnamese coffee system but I am not ready to endorse it yet because I only drink about 1 cup a week and I have not had it long enough.

    Oh and if no one else suggested it... I gave up daily coffee 15ish years ago. As I said, I typically have 1 cup of coffee each week and obviously I have it on the weekend.

    I order ice tea or unsweetened almond milk lattes (hot or cold)

    And I use maple syrup as a sweetener substitute. ITS DELICIOUS! Don’t be put off it’s super good! I practice paleo and maple syrup is ok to have, just a tablespoon is pleanty for a 12oz drink

    A lighter/ flavored roast + a bit of truvia + a splash of almond or cashew milk. Probably runs <10 calories; I don’t even bother logging it.

    When you get your coffee from any franchise...you have the funds to get a proper coffee grinder and premium beans....grind, vacuum seal them (amazon etc) and get a portable coffee machine (Aeropress is one of the best)

    fresh premium coffee every time....everywhere... (i even make my own coffee during flights)

    Starbucks is overrated and overpriced......

    ..... yep, not a fan
