I've been using coffeemate french vanilla, but the calories add up way too fast! Looking for a better alternative...

What do you use?

    Fat free half-and-half and some Splenda.

    You could add some sugar free vanilla flavoring as well, to add some flavor like the creamer.

    I use Vanilla Almond Coconut Breeze. It's 70 calories a cup but I only use about 2 tablespoons for like 8 calories. I've also used the Original kind and the Vanilla. It also doesn't have soy oil in it which I prefer to stay away from soy.

    Pumpkin Spice flavored creamer. I put in 2 T which is only 60 calories. I can't drink much, because of how I tolerate caffeine, so it isn't that big of a deal.

    I usually use Sugar-Free French Vanilla Coffeemate, but during the holidays (when it's available) I use sugar-free peppermint mocha or sugar-free pumpkin spice coffeemate.

    I put a little nonfat milk, just enough to cool it down so I don't burn my tongue, in my first cup of the day, then I drink it black the rest of the morning.

    I use powdered coffee creamer and NOT liquid creamer. You use less of it because you get a stronger flavor out of the powered stuff instead of the liquid kind. I don't use sugar substitute like Sweet 'N Low; I use granulated sugar (1 to 2 teaspoons). I've done some research and my doctor advised me that if eat sugar substitute on an empty stomach it will make you even hungrier. I'm literally running out the door in the AM sometimes without eating anything so this has really helped me.

    Girl, you're doing better than I am!! I can't drink black coffee... too bitter for my taste.

    Nutin honey....I like the taste of a good strong cup of coffee. Starbuck Sumatra is the best.

    Since joining this website I've learned my sugar intake was too high. I use to throw the sugar in, same with the creamer, hazelnut preferred.



    NOW..........................2.25 cups of coffee with an 1/8 cup of 2% milk.

    When I'm on the road, I'll do an occasional "regular" coffee, that's with cream and sugar, it's only happened a few times in the last 3 weeks.
