    Worth it to add, this is a struggle I am well-versed in as I am struggle with fatigue and coffee is my morning go-to and my afternoon kick-start so I have to find lower calorie alternatives to making it yummy when it gets boring. Otherwise I'd be consuming a meal's worth of creamer calories in a day.

    I've also been known to blend a chocolate muscle milk and some sugar free caramel syrup in there.

    Half & half or skim milk combined sugar free hazelnut syrup could maybe work?

    Maybe you could try hazelnut flavored coffee and then you won't need as much creamer in it. I buy the small single serving containers of creamer so it is tough to add so many calories at a time.

    I love my coffee creamer too. I slowly cut it in half. It took awhile to get used to. When I ordered at Starbucks I would get 200 calories of vanilla sweet cream in my cold brew so I feel your pain! I ask for light now (I get venti when I go) to half the calories and add a packet of Splenda. I started making cold brew at home so I could save more calories, down to 35 from 100 with International Delight Cold Stone Creamery Sweet Cream. I'll also have half-and-half with Splenda. I'm planning on trying cashew milk when I run out of sweet cream to try something healthier. Don't know if it'll work though!

    Gradually decrease the amount of creamer every day? It's how I weaned myself off of it. I drink my coffee black now and enjoy it.
