    I prefer my coffee black, but here's an idea. Use your regular non-flavored creamer, and then add a sugar-free flavored syrup like Torani. They have lots of flavors and you can order on-line. I get them for my mother in-law at Cash n Carry. Use it to make sugar-free Italian sodas as well.

    Yep...I have like 10 flavors of sugar free Toriani syrups and I add regular half n half. I drink one big coffee every day and total calories is usually under 100. It's the only thing I can't give up.

    My fav coffeemate is sugar free Carmel macchiato.

    I do have to add real cream or half n half to any sugar free stuff though or it just tastes wrong to me. Something about the fat in it kills the sugar free taste.

    Considering I used to drink half a full sugar/full fat jug of hazelnut creamer with my whole pot of coffee every day....I'm doing good. Lol

    I get angry when people make their coffee super creamy and super sweet. I know, I have anger issues. I don't know why it makes me so mad. But, it really seriously pisses me off. I get visibly angry about it. Lol. It's stupid, I know. Anyways, I just pour a dab of non fat milk into my coffee just to take the edge off. I used to drink coffee black, and then discovered I like a small dab of non fat milk. But, people who do the French vanilla creamers and all that, and then if they add sugar, or even worse, fake sugar, OMG, I have to leave the room or I'll scream profanities. Lol. True story!

    I have issues.

    Keep an eye out for CoffeeMate SUGAR FREE Creamy Chocolate. 30 calories per serving, but I use 1/2 serving in a pretty big cup. That is half the calories of the regular Creamy Chocolate creamer. It is brand new here, and I only find it on the shelf occasionally along with the other creamers. Other sugar frees include Hazelnut and Vanilla Carmel.

    I have found that if using a small amount doesn't give you the flavor you like, try adding 1/2 tsp of sugar free sweetner. Fewer calories than using more creamer.

    If there is a World Market near you, they sell a lot of Torani syrups, including sugar free ones. If you like pumpkin/gingerbread type stuff you could probably make it at home using spices + half and half and sweetner. Those commercial coffee creamers scare me though, they have 4,000 ingredients, only 2 of which I recognize as food.

    Then again, some people should just stay away from coffee completely :)

    Bailey's Irish Cream. It's got a bunch of sugar and calories but you won't care after a few cups.

    I use vanilla almond milk with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and pure vanilla. It's the best coffee ever and only about 50-60 cals a cup

    Coffee mate has a Sugar Free Pumpkin spice. I think they also have a sugar free peppermint. Of course, these are seasonal items.

    I wish we had sugar free creamers here. For some reason there aren't any up in Canada. So I usually use Fat Free French Vanilla.

    Both International Delights and Coffee Mate make flavored creamers. The ID comes either in boxed, shelf stable single tubs or refrigerated pourable liquid. The Coffee Mate comes in either refrigerated liquid or powdered.

    The ID flavors include Almond Joy, Peppermint Patty, Caramel (etc.) and the Coffee Mate includes Caramel Macchiato and Creamy Chocolate among others. Fair warning on the sweeteners used though. If you're one of the people who doesn't taste sucralose (Splenda) as being sweet you'll still have to add sweetener. :grumble:

    Coffee whitener/creamers = chemical/hydrogenated oil junk. "sugar-free" = chemically sweetened garbage. Just sayin.

    I LOVE creamer, but I decided it's not worth all the calories every morning... so now I buy flavored coffee and use half and half or 1% milk.

    I used to use creamer with my coffee ALL the time. I had a friend go to black coffee and encouraged me to do so too! So, after two weeks of getting through black coffee I know perfer it. It honestly took me TWO weeks though to get over needing the sweetened flavors. It is so worth it in the end because look at all of those wasted calories on creamer. Good luck!
