    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.

    Can add to oatmeal and hot chocolates too :)

    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!

    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.

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


    Good point. Lol.

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

    WIN

    Skim milk and sugar free syrup.
    If you have a cash & carry go there. HUGE selection of sugar free ones.

    I brew flavored coffee, such as Hazelnut or Vanilla. Make my own Pumpkin Spice using regular coffee beans and sprinkle a generous portion of pumpkin pie spice into the grounds. Can also do this with cinnamom. Or add vanilla extract to the coffee after it is brewed.

    Also, with a good Italian or French Roast, I find creamer, flavor, or sugar just dilutes the coffee goodness.

    I drink my coffee black, but I have SF Da Vinci syrups in French vanilla, coconut, raspberry and caramel. They're great for adding flavor to my low-carb pancakes, MIMs, hot flax cereal and plain Greek yogurt.

    Try silk original almond milk and a couple drops of real vanilla extract. Its not real sweet but very low in calories and healthful.:wink:
    It has none of those long words that are hard to pronounce and most imporantly partially hydrogenated oils. You really don't want to be putting those in your body everyday.

    Sugar Free Pumkin Spice is AMAZING! Definitely try it before it goes out of season. Also, I just bought Torani sugar free caramel syrup. It's not creamer but it's 0 calories and adds some flavor.

    Sometimes I just use 2-3 tablespoons of fat free half-and-half with 1 Sweet and Low...really good!

    Sorry, I'm not help. I've had to give up my beloved coffee because I cannot drink it black or just plain half and half. I need creamer and sugar in it. I've switched to green tea with a teaspoon of honey in the rough and a squeeze of lemon juice. Green tea has caffeine in it and I normally drink 2-3 cups a day.

    The sugar free syrups used to be great - until Splenda came along and everyone (Davinci and Torani) switched to using it. Sucralose isn't sweet at all for some of us.

    Is the SF pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha powdered or liquid? I haven't seen those.

    how 'bout fresh cream with a splash of sugar free torani or davinci syrup?
    I like the natural bliss ones, by the way, but wish they were made with stevia.

    Once you go black....

    lmao! I will partially agree with this and not just b/c it's funny.
    I do love black coffee but I love coffee with milk/creamer too.

    I almost always use Soymilk, which is sweetened (real milk and I do not get along sadly)
    Or unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Artificial sugars sometimes make me feel sick so I just deal with the sugar if I want my coffee to be sweeter.

    Oh yes, powdered coffee mate has less calories than liquid. Of course if you love crazy flavors than Internation Delights has TONS of SF flavors.

    I am addicted to CoffeeMate sugar free Hazelnut flavored. It is awesome. And made even more awesome if you add some Torani sugar free caramel syrup to it.

    I'm in Australia and we don't really do creamer here, but I managed to get some Coffeemate SF Hazelnut. I keep a small container in my bag in case I want coffee when I'm out and about :) Everywhere serves black.

    It comes in all kinds of flavours in the US, you can probably buy it online.

    I use skim milk at work, otherwise I measure out a tbsp of creamer for each cup I have. I either use Sugar free Hazelnut International Delight or powder creamer such as Peppermint Mocha, Coffee Mate.

    I love flavors, so I always measure it out.
