How do you cream your coffee?
Replies
-
I just recently started drinking coffee, I don't drink it every day (or ever multiple cups a day) so I'm not TOO concerned with the creamer I add. But I've found if I buy flavored coffee I don't have to add as much creamer. I only buy 'natural' creamer, I'd rather have real sugar than the artificial stuff.
Right now I love mixing in unsweetened cocoa as well! I have caramel coffee and brew it with just a few pinches of the cocoa, I have 1tbsp of natural creamer and mmmmm it's soooo good!0 -
I use SO coconut dairy creamer. It's fat free and only 10 calories. It comes in French Vanilla too, but I like the original.0

coffeemate powdered creamer with some truvia or stevia helps me. if i want flavored coffee i'll used hazelnut k-cup or butter pecan. powdered creamer(lite) is 10 cals/tsp. i tried almond and soy milk and powdered creamer works best for me. i tried to do black coffee. i just cant lol0

natural bliss sweet cream creamer - 35 calories per tbsp... I use 2 tbsp and 1 packet of sweet and low. I limit my coffee to 2 cups a day, if that.0

Invest in a steamer. A half cup of non-fat milk is about 45 calories. The steaming makes the milk much, much creamier.0

I started with one cup coffee with 2 tsps of sugar, and reg coffee creamer (2 cups daily). Once I started tracking my food I realized how many calories I was using JUST for coffee. I switched to stevia and then no calorie sweetner. I eventually just cut all sugars/artificial sweetners and now just use 1 tablespoon of sugar free hazelnut per cup coffee. Only 15 calories and HALF the carbs =]0

I usually have my cup of coffee with 4 oz. of milk and a packet of truvia.0

1 tablespoon sugar free International Delight French vanilla and 1 tablespoon of whole milk = 28 calories.0

French vanilla sugar free creamer isn't too bad.0

Just a little milk0

I started using whole milk in my coffee, I find that I need less than I do with skim milk and for me personally, it tastes so much better! 1/4 of a cup is only 38 calories, so worth it for me. I also use splenda to sweeten, but am hoping that maybe I can stop using that soon.0

I don't. I drink it black. I used to put sugar but kicked that habit too. If I really want something creamy, I'll add a bit of milk to it.0

Either 3 Tablespoons of half n half with splenda, or 1/2 cup 2% milk both about 60 calories. The milk adds protein and calcium. I allot myself that. I tried skim milk and its just not worth it to me.0

I use 2tsp sugar and 1tbsp whole milk. I used Half & Half, but quit buying it when I realized my husband was drinking it like milk. Yeah, that's right, by the glass.0

You dirty, dirty people...
I came in to be dirty. Saw no one was taking the happy trail to the bait.
Decided to answer:
Drink it black, if needing cream, use real, full fat cream. No sweetners, no milk, half and half if you can't get cream. No soy, or almond sugar milk.0 -
As a rule, I take my coffee black. Iced coffee gets splenda and maybe skim milk. Lattes and cappuccino, when I have them are made with skim.
Every once in a blue moon I'll have a flavored coffee which requires a sweetener (probably splenda) and some cream like additive, typically fat free 1/2 and 1/2.
Every once in a blue,blue,blue moon I'll have cafe con panna which is whipped cream in my coffee. I did it yesterday when I made a pot of chocolate mint coffee for mother's day.0 -
I use vanilla creme Sweetleaf stevia drops, and 1/2 tablespoon of real, raw milk cream in 8 oz every day, and I drink two cups, so that's 16 oz coffee, 1 tablespoon raw cream, and about a dropperful of stevia. I have a friend who uses the So Delicious brand of coconut milk creamer and stevia. And I have another friend who uses 100% grade B maple syrup. All are very happy with our choices.
Personally, I'd never use something artificial or artificially low fat in anything I put in my body. Fat will not make you fat. And your body needs a certain amount of it to function properly.0 -
Usually it's just 1-2 T of half and half. Or if I want more it more milky I use 1/4-1/2 c 2% milk. Sometimes I'll stir in a little sugar, 1/8-1/4 t white or brown. I have simple syrup for iced coffee. Occasionally a little vanilla extract or ground cinnamon in the brew if I want something flavored.0

I can't drink black coffee. That's nasty. Gotta add a little bit of milk, add one little baggie of sugar and one small cup of cream.0

*facepalm* Thank God I wasn't the only one thinking in the gutter. :laugh:
I use full-fat cream, usually 40% butterfat if possible, but I don't drink a lot of coffee anymore (kidney issues).0
