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

    What do you use?
    Quayludes. Makes me sleep well.

    Either coconut oil, or coconut milk and a little bit of whey protein isolate.

    I put 1% GMO free milk from Costco, and a teaspoon of organic sugar..... and ice.
    I make my coffee iced anymore as I find I drink less caffeine (which I'm not supposed to have) and gets me to drink 1/2C milk with each cup. :)

    I drink Coconut flavored coffee with half a Truvia Don't add anything else, I like the coffee taste. I'll drink the unflavored stuff too but the island coconut K cups are just really good and a little sweet without adding any calories

    I usually add some creamer and milk, but lately I've been adding hot cocoa mix with a little bit of milk. My favorite is mint chocolate. It usually comes out to a little under 100 calories, but for me it's totally worth it and it's a necessary part of my day :) Oh, I buy the more fancy flavored cocoa, but I'm sure there are less fancy ones that have way less calories.

    I used to drink a double shot skinny latte... then a few months ago I started having a double protein shake (made on water, with ice) that includes a double shot of espresso. You don't need dairy or sugar due to the protein powder sweetness.

    It keeps me full and gives me the morning kickstart (caffeine) I need to stay awake.

    Thoroughly recommended!

    I like using coffeehouse's single serving creamers. Right now I have caramel machiato, which runs me 30 calories. I also like to use starbuck's hot cocoa mix, they have a salted caramel kind and it's crazy good. I spread the package (it's 120 calories) out and make it last 3-4 cups of coffee and add a creamer in it sometimes.
    I drink a lot of coffee..

    People, if you're going to use artificial sweeteners, PLEASE use Stevia or Truvia at least. This is SO MUCH BETTER for you than any of the Splenda, Equal, Sweet and Low junk that is out there. Stevia is a natural sweetener that is low in cals.

    I use to drink 24 oz, tripple toasted marshmellow mochas. No I put International Delights Smore (just found it) , or cinnamon vanilla. 2 T abot 70 cals, but I figure it is WAY better than what I use to drink.

    Probably the least "healthy" option you'll see in this thread but...

    3 spoonfuls of turbinado sugar, one spoonful of vanilla extract, and a splash of light cream. Mmmm.

    I don't do artificial sweeteners or coconut oil (and both are found in non-dairy creamer!). I used to use heavy cream but decided I needed to decrease my early-morning fat intake. I have one or two cups of coffee in the morning but otherwise just drink lots of water all day.
