Do you drink coffee with creamer? I do. and I love flavored creamer. Here's my problem - I have a really hard time finding sugar free coffee creamer in more interesting flavors than "french Vanilla" and "original".

So, Any suggestions? Do you have a sugar free creamer you like? or what do you use, instead? I was thinking about just switching over to sugar free syrups for flavor, and using the unflavored creamer, but I don't want to have to get that detailed.

    Try using skim milk with a sugar free syrup. You can find vanilla sugar free syrup at the 99 cent store or dollar stores. Hope this helps!

    Not going to be any help at all, LOL

    I switched from creamers to half n half + sugar to just half n half and finally to black!

    Creamer must be a very American thing, in the UK we use milk.

    Anyway, not sure if they do it over there but Douwe Egberts do a vanilla, a hazelnut and a caramel flavoured coffee which is virtually calorie free like regular coffee and I have that with skimmed milk.

    heavy whipping cream and/or coconut oil will deliver you healthy fats with zero sugar. No interesting flavors, though. This might be a decision point that depending on your goals, you may have to give something up to get something greater in return.

    Oh man, have I studied creamer labels looking for "the one". I did find one brand that was sugar-free, fat-free and about 15 calories/ tbsp but only in French vanilla flavor... I believe it was at Walmart. I can't remember cause now I just do black coffee with a little Equal if I feel like it.

    I use Stevia for my sugar. Just one packet and then use Organic Soy Creamer.

    I am so glad you posted this question!! I love my coffee in the morning WITH creamer! I did find a Hazelnut Sugar Free creamer from International Delight which is pretty good. I do use the sugar free syrups as well and then use fat free creamer....but I find it makes my coffee taste watered down :( I think I'm going to start using half & half.Target has quite a variety of Sugar Free Syrups.........in fact I just looked at them last night! ;) Also something else to try is flavored coffee instead of flavored creamer.......that way you get the flavor,minus the calories....just a thought :drinker:

    Coffeemate makes a French Vanilla, Hazelnut and many more sugar free non dairy creamers. Check the isle where the coffee is sold.

    I agree with just using cream and no sugar. At least it's natural. The other creamers have hydrogenated oils that kind of pool on top of the coffee. yuck.

    not necessarily sugar-free, but i've found that flavored soy/almond/hazelnut milks are AMAZING in coffee.

    I use the Land O'Lakes Mini Moo's Half & Half little tubs and Davinici Sugar Free Syrups. I also sweeten with Stevia. I am not a fan of some of the sugar free or fat free syrups because some of them have an aftertaste.

    I totally feel your pain and love flavored creamer, but have been forced to wean myself off because trying to cut out the artificial sweeteners as much as possible. Lately I have been adding some protein powder, stevia drops, pure pumpkin and some almond milk for a protein pumpkin latte, but otherwise I do almond milk and vanilla stevia drops by nunaturals. It has been an adjustment for sure, but now I am used to it - and I promise, I never thought I would be. Otherwise before I switched, the only sugar free I could find was French vanilla, hazelnut and coffee mate makes a caramel macchiato.

    Coffeemate is starting to offer more of their flavors in sugar free versions. Aside from French Vanilla (which isn't my favorite), they make Hazelnut, Pumpkin Spice, and Peppermint Mocha. There may be more, those are just the ones I see at my store. If I see a flavor that isn't sugar free I get it anyway and make it fit into my calories for the day. I love my flavored coffee creamers!

    How about a flavored coffee instead?
