    Love, Love, Love Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk (15 calories for 1/2 cup); I warm it up then add my coffee for a great latte.

    I use a powder coffee whitener. They come in low fat options and actually taste creamy (I made the change from double cream double sugar, to sweetener & whitener and was surprised how easy the change was/still great tasting coffee!)

    My whitener is only 10 calories per 1 tsp and ZERO fat, ZERO sodium, ZERO sugar (zero everything)

    Best way I found to not drink my calories!:drinker:

    I use Fat Free French Vanilla cream by International Delight. It's something like 35 calories a cup & you don't need sugar with it.

    I seriously only use 2 teaspons and i works for me but i also dont drink really dark coffee but to each there own!!!
    ]
    i use coffee mate light its 10 calories in a teaspoon and occasionally i use skim milk but it is water and the coffee mate with 2 teaspoons turns ur coffee a nice creamy color with less calories. Try it!!

    I'm wondering if you are really just using 2 teaspoons? In an 8 oz cup of coffee, that would hardly add any color at all. I like my coffee dark, but tend to use at least 2 tablespoons at the minimum in an 8oz cup of coffee. That would be 60 calories for 2 tablespoons of coffeemate light-- the same as 2 tablespoons of half and half.

    Sugar Free syrups like Torani are great and zero cals. If you get a skinny vanilla latte from starbucks that is what they use to add the vanilla flavor. There are many different flavors to choose from. 0 cals, 0 fat.

    ^^^Yep, I do the sugar free syrups too- last longer, don't need much, I put 1% milk with it as well, and use good coffee. You dno't need a lot - I think mine is about 45 calories total (2 cups).

    I have been adding half a scoop of Vanilla whey protein to my coffee with a pinch of cocoa powder and some peppermint extract. Yummie ! Now I have a wholesome replacement for the sweet pastry or cookie I used to reach for with my black coffee. It hits the spot for me as a light breakfast or snack.

    thanks for posting this. I got used to taking my coffee without sugar and am loathe to give up my half n half. was using coffeemate but that's not any better. seeing some of the responses here, the So Delicious creamer seems like a way to go but I'm not so crazy about some of the ingredients. I try to eat less processed food. clearly, I'm going to have to cut down on my coffee intake.
