    With half & half. But I'm going to try to get it with just a touch of milk this year.

    I used to use sugar, then splenda. Cut out the splenda last year and can't STAND it sweet anymore.

    I have slowly reduced the sugar and cream I take in my Tim Horton's coffee. Used be double double, then I tried 2 cream, 1 sugar, now I take 1 cream, 1/2 a sugar. Each time I cut back, I don't especially like the coffee, but I find I do get used to it. Then if I accidentally get a double double, I find it too sweet! Next, I will cut back to 1/2 cream, 1/2 sugar.

    Over ice with skim milk and 2 tbsp vanilla creamer (sweet enough). At least one of those a day, most days two. 80 kcals of deliciousness that gets me from "don't talk to me" to "oh hai it's a new day how u doin?"

    I have struggled with this myself. I LOVE LOVE LOVE CoffeeMate creamer in my coffee! However, lookIng at the calories of it I HAD to switch. It would take up anywhere from 200 to 400 calories in a day, depending on how creamy I mixed it. I immediately switched to Soy and coconut creamers, which are decent alternatives to cut calories and still give flavor. That cut the calories in my morning routine in about half while still feeling like I was getting my fix.

    Now I just drink it black using flavor coffees. I tried the Stivia stuff and others, but I like the Hazelnut or Snickerdoodle flavors enough black I din't need anything more. Really frees up calories for the day so I can eat.

    10 - 12 oz coffee w/2 oz warm 1% milk & 1/8 tsp peppermint extract. Delicious. I'm going to start experimenting with other extract flavors. I cannot drink plain black coffee - imo ewww. Tried training myself to do it, just couldn't.

    I add a SPLASH unsweetened soy milk but i don't add the calories for it... when I say a splash it's really a tbsp! I also add a tsp of Agave (15 cal)... very sweet and 100% natural!
