I drink my coffee with flavored creamer. I also get either sugar free or fat free so it's lower calories but still talking like 100 calories for my few cups of coffee in the am. Anyone else like their coffee light and sweet but found a way to do that with lower calories?

P.S. I've tried multiple times to a) not drink coffee b) use less creamer. Neither worked, just made me miserable.

    When I drink coffee I like flavored creamer too. To me the sugar/fat free is gross so I stick with the full flavor stuff. Honestly 100 calories total for a few cups of coffee is not bad.
    Maybe try putting a few grams less of creamer in your coffee everyday and you will get used to it.

    Drink it black.



    BUT if you can't hack that, try using Stevia or other natural based sugar free sweeteners.
    OR if it's the creamy consistency you like, try other milk forms such as almond milk with the above sweeteners!

    I drink it black, but if you like yours sweet and blonde, try using coconut milk instead of flavored creamer. It's more organic, naturally sweet, and creamy enough to turn it plenty blonde. It's also only 45 calories for 8 full ounces, so adding just a tablespoon will barely make a splash in your calorie column. If you need more flavor, add a dash of extract, like vanilla or almond. There are lots of flavors to choose from.

    try milk, not cream, and mix in vanilla protein powder, then add the coffee. Lower in cals and higher in protein than using cream, and more flavour too.

    I like a sugar free flavor syrup in mine (Torani is the brand name of what I use). They have limited flavors at the grocery store but World Market has endless flavors and one sounds better than the next! Good Luck!

    What about using flavored coffee grounds and then almond milk? They make the sugar free syrups too if you are looking to cut fat.

    I use full sugar and fat creamer in one cup of coffee daily. I try to drink just one cup of strong coffee, but if I must have more, I'll drink them black.

    I take my huge mug with about 12oz coffee and measure out a tablespoon of heavy cream and one splenda. ~50 calories. :drinker:

    Try using unflavored non fat creamer or half and half and just a small amount of the flavor you like. That usually does the trick for me.

    My coffee is high calorie, but low carb and I love it! I have it with one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of coconut oil, along with carb/calorie free sweetener, sugar free creamer and heavy cream. It's called bullet-proof coffee and I will NEVER give that up!

    Buy better coffee and drink it balck.

    Seriously. Most people add things to disguise the crummy aspects of bad coffee.

    Or, try this...

    Or just try a small amount of coconut or almond milk and taper down to the least amount you can.

    I don't compromise on coffee. Good quality coffee goes far. Flavored creamers if you desire are also just fine. Just plan it into your day.
