So this morning tried 1/2 cup Almond Milk with a tsp of Vanilla extract. Yuck! So I added 1 Tbsp of regular Hazelnut liquid creamer. That was bearable. I really look forward to my 2 big mugs of coffee each day so I'll need to experiment more.
I saw someone mention coconut milk - is it sweet????
I may just have to go with Bunneh - have my coffee & creamer and work a little harder exercising!

A tsp of vanilla is a lot for coffee! An entire batch of cookies uses that much so yeah, I bet that was gross. It's also kind of bitter without all the sugar that goes into cookies.

I had a similar result by adding nutmeg to my coffee and about lost it!

Tomorrow I'll try 1/4 cup almond milk and 2 Tbsp of vanilla fat free creamer. That's a good compromise! )

I use "So Delicioius" brand Coconut Milk creamer. It does not taste like coconut, but it is very creamy. It has 10 calories per tablespoon and only 1g sugar. It is available at Kroger and the health food store. It is really good!!

Fat free reddi-whip or almond milk.

Usually, if I'm not drinking it black, I'll add almond milk to my coffee. I love the taste it adds. However, its pretty watery and doesn't add that nice creamy mouth feel

That's where the fat-free reddi-whip comes in. I love this stuff like a junkie loves crack. Its 5 calories per 2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons=5 grams). I find that 2 servings of this stuff is more than enough for a cup of coffee and it gives it a really think richness, just like cream.

There is one downside to the FF reddi-whip: its a bit hard to incorporate it into the coffee. Since it comes out of the can as a foam, you have to break it down and mix it into the coffee. Usually I just pour a cup of coffee into a water bottle, add the whipped cream, and give it a good shake, but its possible to just stir in if you have a bit of patience.

I usually have my coffee out, so I get 2 Splenda and two 2% milk in mine. Less fat than cream. And it tastes better too!!!

I use regular 2 tbsp of flavored creamer. I tried other things and I just dont like it. I refuse to buy sugar free creamer because I cant stand the taste. I make those 2 tbsp fit into my day! I only drink one coffee a day though!

looking for a healthier, lower calorie/fat option......and no milk will not do....must be creamy:bigsmile:

Can I ask why not just use regular cream? I use the full fat kind, 1 tbsp in my 16 oz mug of coffee, and because it's so creamy, a little goes a long way. Also, I dont like the fake creamers, even the dairy based kind, they taste "off" to me, and have loads of sugar that has me crashing an hour later.

One tbsp has like 20 or 30 cals I think, that's a tiny amount for some seriously creamy goodness.

I use a regular nondairy flavored creamer ..just a tiny bit....and enjoy every drop of it. Only one cup of coffee a day. I used to drink cup after cup but I just cant do that anymore.
