Coffee Creamer!

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Why wreck your coffee experience when you can easily make reductions elsewhere.

cus some of us use a quarter cup of creamer :laugh:

OP i also love my creamer and refuse to get a lesser quality one.
what i've found helps is choosing good quality coffee. I been able to find a few brands of coffee that dont taste bitter and are smooth enough that i don't even need creamer so when i do use creamer (the prescribed amount) it's an additional bonus

I use So Delicious vanilla coconut milk creamer. It is only 20 calories for 2 tablespoons and it is delicious and creamy.

Hey everyone!

Ok so coffee creamer is my weakness!!!! I hate the sugar free kind and basically each day I am drinking 175 calories of coffee and creamer alone! The creamer I buy is 35 calories per tablespoon. Any suggestions on good substitutes that taste good??

I had the same problem! It was the first big 'thing' I had to tackle when the food diary really brought it all home to me how many calories per day I was drinking. My favorite also has 35 cals per tablespoon.

I tried drinking it black, couldn't do it. I tried using less, couldn't stand it. I tried the sugar free kind, not happening.

What I did was cut the coffee in my cup by half and then I add two tablespoons of my beloved creamer. That way I am getting about the same proportion of coffee to creamer for 70 calories and it tastes the way I like it.

I still drink too many of these per day (I'd rather eat those calories, honestly) but overall, I cut my coffee consumption by about 75% (I had to eliminate the bottled mocha frappucinos to 'occasional treat' status since I drank several of them every day ON TOP of the coffee, for about 1200 total liquid calories per day and ~15 cups of coffee or equivalent per day :blushing: ) This is the only thing that has worked for me. I had about 10 miserable days of caffeine withdrawal, but once that lifted, everything is fine again and I still get my coffee/creamer fix. Happy side effect of less caffeine has been fewer muscle twitches, no more heart palpitations, and sounder sleep!

I am a large tervis tumbler (24oz) of coffee a day drinker. Before it would be 6 sugars, 6 creams. Not that I've changed my lifestyle I use 4 stevia and 3tbsp of regular half and half. After looking at all the powdered, refridgerated and non-refridgerated creamers and having used some of them, and self-determining that they were all pretty much bad for you (some of the ingredients yuk!) I switched to the half and half. I get the creamy coffee I want and it's 60 calories. That to me is worth it. I personally did not like the taste of soy or almond "milk."
