What do you sweeten your coffee with?!?!

GreenLaura22

I have gotten my coffee addiction down to two glorious cups per day....I love love love it! I want to find a healthier way to sweeten it. I have been looking online and there is a lot of conflicting information out there. I am really trying to stay away from artificial sweeteners. I use 2% milk, just a few tbs.

So, fellow weight loss warriors...How do you sweeten YOUR coffee?

I use nectresse. It is made from monk fruit.

I don't use sweeteners at all - tastes better without!

But if I had to, I would use fresh honey - not the stuff runny at room temperature, but REAL honey. My dad uses honey made by our neighbours in his tea

Yuch, sweetened coffee!

Strong and black, the first cup of the day, delivered to my bedside by my own gorgeous "coffee fairy", is the sweetest of the day.

I also use 2% milk and I don't use any sweetener. In fact I find the taste spoiled if somebody else has offered me cup of coffee either with sugar or sugar substitute. But in my younger days ( when I was gloriously slim) I used to add honey to my coffee.

Stevia, if there is no stevia around then I just drink it black. :drinker:

^^^^I am wondering the same thing... I am new to coffee and I like it sweet... but have for now replaced real sugar with Equal... but I am not a coffee pro so IDK what I should be using to get the taste as close to what it was before as I can... Equal isn't doing it, but it's drinkable.

I have gone down from 3 sugars to using artificial sweeteners. Lost about 7lbs and was really proud, but now I keep getting warned about the dangers of sweeteners. I drink a lot of tea & know I should cut down so please, somebody tell me why they're so bad & give me a good scare!

Just buy better coffee!!!

(I use a bit of skim milk to cool it in the morning so I can drink it faster.)

Do not use chocolate milk. It's too tasty. If I have chocolate milk in the house I accidentally drink two pots of coffee.

I use agave nectar. A little goes a long way.

Turbinado sugar and half-and-half and cinnamon. I don't like much of anything that is sugar free or fat free. But I've learned to do with less sugar than two years ago -- 1.5 tsp to 8 oz, and we like our coffee strong and dark. I find that adding a sprinkle of cinnamon helps to cut the bitterness of the coffee without increasing the sweetness.

I use sugar free flavored creamer. Eventually, I will weine myself off but for now, I love it!

I'm a black coffee drinker, but if I must sweeten ... Baileys :bigsmile:

I add chocolate protein powder to my coffee. I won't use artificial sweeteners and just adding sugar alone seems to make the coffee wasted calories. With the protein powder at least, it gives the whole drink purpose.

I drink my coffe black, but I usually make my hubby's with equal. I use equal with my tea though and it taste just like sugar.

Simply Stevia - love it.

i use honey. and since i dont really use dairy that much i put a little bit of almond coconut milk in my coffee as well. you can get the sweet version if you like. i also love dark chocolate almond milk by blue diamond. It makes the coffee taste like a mocha coffee!!!! Enjoy!

Truvia or Stevia. Tesco do a small handy pack of truvia 'tablets', that you can put in your drink. I like them because you can carry them around with you, as when I visit someone, not many of my friends have natural sweeteners in their house.
