Dark chocolate almond milk + sugar-free flavored syrups!! Some of my favorites are Vanilla Caramel Creme coffee + dark chocolate almond milk + salted caramel syrup OR French Vanilla coffee + dark chocolate almond milk + peppermint syrup. Yummy!!! And all for less than 50 calories.0

I have one LARGE cup of coffee in the morning...and I now measure two tablespoons of my International Delight French Vanilla creamer at 70 calorie total. Not giving that up, but I have DEFINITELY cut back on the creamer amount once I looked at the calorie content.
^^^^^this, except I use International Delight White Chocolate Macadamia. 70 cals a day and it's factored into my cals.0 -
Almond milk!! Sugared if preferred! Is super sweet an low fat!0
-
I just use whole milk and splenda.0

Drink it black.
I drink so much coffee i didn't realize how many calories i was adding with the creamer.0 -
My morning coffee is one of the things in life that I truly relish. That said, I make it good. I use high quality French Roast and Half n Half. It is not low-cal, but I don't care. I enjoy every drop of my two cups before my kids wake up. Maybe you could just cut down on the frequency? Knock it down to twice a day instead of three or more?0

There are a bazillion creamers that are like 10 calories a TBSP....or use skim/almond milk!0

Have you considered flavored coffee over flavored creamer?
I love that creamer as well...but normally I use fat-free half and half, and Splenda.0 -
I use coffee mate sugar free french vanilla creamer. On 15 cals a tablespoon and i only have 4 tablespoons for 2 cups of coffee so thats only 60 calories. I refuse to give up my coffee, but this way im not wasting a ton of cals on it.
Me too, exactly.0 -
Take 1 scoop of your favorite flavor whey protein.
Mix it in a shaker with 1/2c skim milk and 1/2 water.
Shake that effer.
Then use it as coffee creamer.
Then marvel at yourself for being baller.
This sounds like a GREAT idea!!!0 -
I use(d) the Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Sweet Cream Flavor, I love that stuff, then I started cutting it with plain half and half. Then I switched to cold brewed coffee and started using Greek yogurt and protein powder. Now I have actually quit coffee and am drinking unsweetened green tea instead.
Don't know if that helps or not, but it was my progression, and I drank 4 cups of coffee every morning for years.0 -
Have you tried drinking flavored coffees without the creamer? Or, fat-free creamer?0
-
I'm no help because I love my coffee and can't stand the sweetners. So, I allow myself to have 1 or 2 eight ounce cups per day. I make sure that I measure my creamer (2 tsp) and sugar (about 3-4 tsp). Yeah, I know it's high but don't judge me. I've given up soda and a lot of other things but not my coffee.0
-
I use fat free half and half--2 tablespoons is 20 cal but i find 1 tablespoon is just right.0
-
I have used flavor coffee's before but they all seem so strong!\ It just didn't seem the same. I think that part of my problem is that the creamer substitutes the creamer and the sugar. I don't add additional sugar on top of the creamer.0
-
Fat-free creamer is bleeeeeeeech!0
-
i've never used whey protein before but it seems legit enough to try..0
-
I agree that creamer calories can add up!!! I put a teaspoon measuring spoon in the server for powdered creamer so I don't just scoop it in. I cut down from 1T to 1t and got used to the taste.0
-
I use Trader Joe's organic soy creamer, Silk soy creamer or So Delicious coconut creamer.0

That is exactly what I'm in the process of doing now. My to-go cup is 16oz so once i'm at work I drink like two of them bad boys then inclue the one 8oz cup I have when I wake up plus the full to-go for the ride into work (40 minutes)....so cutting down is primarily my goal right now!0
