    put some vanilla almond milk in your coffee. its such a small amount of calories (35 per entire cup, which you wouldn't be using) and it tastes great!

    My friend started trying to break up with coffee creamer too. She started using almond milk and a little vanilla extract. She says it's okay, not the same at all, but a decent substitute. I am still meeting up with coffee creamer on a daily basis and while I know I probably need to call it quits, I just am not ready yet... :-/

    I cannot drink coffee black. To me it tastes plain awful and is just not worth it. What I've tried to do is find the minimum amount of creamer and sugar I can get away and still have it tasting great. I found 1 tsp of creamer and 1 packet of stevia does the trick for me.

    You don't like coffee; you like dairy.

    I love almond milk in my tea! So good.

    I love almond milk in coffee!!! OM NOM NOM

    Of course, we've been using regular french vanilla of late, but maybe if I put the almond milk in the coffee creamer container my husband won't notice....

    I will not give up my coffee, I just had to modify it like everything else. I use French Vanilla Sugar Free Coffee Creamer. 3 tbsp has 45 calories, 0 protein, 3 fat, 3 carbs, 15 sodium, 0 sugar and I use Stevia to sweeten.

    Drink on & be happy! :drinker:

    I use two tablespoons of the So Delicious Vanilla coconut creamer with 1 teaspoon of sugar (the creamer is sweet so that is all the sugar I need to add). Total calories for one cup is only 55 calories.

    I don't think I could give up my creamer or coffee. You are stronger than I am. :drinker:

    I actually went black, then came back up from there. My first cup of the day always has a tablespoon of heavy cream (hell yes) and a teaspoon of sugar. It's excellent. If I have another at home, it's usually black from there on out.

    Why do you have to go without coffee though? It's the creamer you are wanting to kill from your diet. Coffee has about 5 cals per cup.

    I make room for it in my calories daily. I drink it with half/half (no sugar) but get loads of fat :/ and yes I usually am over or high on my fat intake. It is my true luxury (food/drink wise) and everyone needs one of those :) Best of luck to you! You're certainly stronger than I am

    Try Mini Moo creamers. Each little cup is only 10 calories and they make French vanilla too.I have a Keurig and this limits my coffee/caffeine intake. They make what is called Half-Caf, which is half regular coffee and half decaf. Brewing a cup at a time has really kept me straight. My favorite kitchen appliance is my Keurig and I gave it as gifts. They love it too. Good luck.

    When I started MFP I was dumping in three sweet n low and about 10 tsp creamer per 20 oz cup. And I have 5 or 6 cups per day. I realized that I was adding around 500 calls per day on coffee. Now I just sprinkle in a little creamer to lighten it a little.

    Mom gets weirded out when she sees me with black coffee so I'll have maybe...1.5-2 tablespoons of creamer at night with the coffee when we have one, otherwise I'll just drink it black. No sugar no nothing, it's actually quite flavorful once you get down to REALLY tasting it and then when you think about the creamer you realise that you've been covering up the good stuff with flavoring/sugar etc
