I'm really into Coffee Mate Natural Bliss in Cinnamon Cream flavor right now. Two tbsp in my coffee every morning. Worth the calories to me
that sounds yummy. is it a liquid creamer?
Yup! And it's all natural so milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavor- no oils etc.0 -
For me, I could never give up cream, either. Here's my magic little recipe that satisfies my cravings at only 70 calories per cup:
-6 oz coffee (black)
-1/3 cup unsweetened original almond milk (10 calories)
-2 (any flavor) International Delight Mini Individual Creamer Singles - 30 calories each, and they have so many flavors out there! My favorites are Almond Joy, Pumpkin, Hazelnut, and French Vanilla, I love to mix and match them! The only flavor I haven't liked so far was the Hershey's Chocolate Caramel, which surprised me.0 -
I also like the Coffee Mate Natural Bliss creamers. I buy Vanilla and Sweet Cream. I use about 1.5-2 tbsp for a 12 oz. mug of coffee. When I want mocha flavor, I put 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder in the mug before adding coffee, then stir really well and add creamer. Mmm. The cocoa powder even adds fiber and protein!0

Dark chocolate almond milk.
Edit:
Also either get an organic coffee creamer or switch to flavored non gmo milks because Coffee Mate and other non dairy creamers have carcinogens in them.0 -
I usually have 2 cups coffee each morning with: 2 servings of Coffee Mate Unsweetened French Vanilla and 2 drops of EZ-Sweetz liquid sweetener (we get on Amazon). I'll use other flavors but only if unsweetened and on sale. Enjoy!0

at work, i get a large dunkin donuts iced coffee with cream... their version is to use hood light cream, which isn't available in stores anymore. at home, i do one part half & half, one part heavy whipping cream. it's the same ratios as the light cream i used to be able to get in the grocery store.
if given the option between using an actual "coffee creamer" like international delight or the powdered stuff, or drinking my coffee black, i'll go with black every time. creamers add sweetness, which i absolutely hate in my coffee. the real cream alone is sweet enough for my taste.0 -
I do something similar 12 oz coffee ( I have a newborn and need the caffeine lol). 1 tbsp any ID creamer and 1/3 cup light vanilla soy milk. It's like 70 calories but totally worth it. I try to cut the creamer out even tried coffee black but honestly I'd rather not eat then give up my coffee lolFor me, I could never give up cream, either.

I use the Dunkin' Donuts creamer. I just don't use a lot of it. When I look at creamer, I look for stuff without partially hydrogenated oils.0

If you start drinking black coffee, even if you don't like it at first it grows on you. I pretty much drink it black 90% of the time now. Sometimes I'll use either almond milk or skim milk but not often.0

We're talking, what? 70-80 calories at most for 2 tbsp? Put the cream in and enjoy your coffee. Mornings are hard enough.0

Have you tried flavored coffee with less creamer? I am a creamer fan myself and LOVE the "Cream of coffee soup"! That cracks me up! I have found that getting a good quality flavored coffee with a complimenting creamer is better than a lot of cream in regular coffee. For example, right now I have Coconut Cream coffee (from a local vendor) and use Almond Joy creamer. I also have Pumpkin Pie coffee and use Caramel Vanilla creamer (unitl Pumpkin creamers come out). Its worth a shot0

I use flavored Coffee-Mate Peppermint Mocha or International Delight York Peppermint Patty. My creamer is one thing I won't give up. - I love unsweetened almond milk, and that is what I drink, but I do NOT like it in my coffee, for some reason it gives it a cardboard-like aftertaste.0

My coffee is 70% coffee, 10% flavored creamer, 20% half n half and a packet of hot cocoa powder. It's delicious.0

Put me in the camp of drinking it black these days. Every morning, 20 ounces, black (and decaffeinated). And yes, try different brands until you find one that suits your tastebuds.
Lately I've been having an iced coffee in the afternoons. For this one I use sugar free Torani french vanilla syrup and fat free half and half. The calorie counts are so low on those products that I can put in as much as I want without blowing the bank.
When it gets cold I'll get some flavored coffee and drink it black in the afternoons. This place has a bazillion flavors: http://www.coffeeam.com/ When you find one that you really like, you will be less likely to miss the creamer.0 -
I tried the low/no sugar creamers, but in all honesty nothing compared to the ones that taste like Girl Scout cookies or gingerbread! Getting to work is hard enough, I'll gladly sacrifice 70 calories if it means I get to enjoy a small piece of happy, quiet time each morning.0

I like my coffee to taste like coffee, maybe with a hint of vanilla or hazelnut. I like it fairly strong, but with milk or cream to lighten the bitter flavor a bit. This is how I usually take my coffee:
2 tbs full fat half & half in hot coffee, plus about 1/4-1/2 tsp white sugar. I sub almond milk if I'm out of half & half.
About 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk in iced coffee, plus 1/4-1/2 tsp agave syrup.
I just got a bottle of hazelnut flavored Sweet Leaf sweet drops (flavored liquid stevia) - 2 drops works well for me in a large iced coffee. Any more and it is WAAAAAYYYY too sweet. I'm going to start incorporating it into my regular coffee routine.0 -
I use the International Delight coffee creamers (the regular kind, not the fat-free or sugar-free kind). I drink two coffees a day with this stuff and have managed to lose 60 lbs. It can be done. No way in hell I would ever give up my coffee. You can make it fit into your day.0

HWC and Davinci SF Syrup. slurps.0

This is what I love, and you could gradually increase the amount of milk so you get used to it:
1 can low-fat sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of 2% milk (or your choice)
2 Tbsp vanilla extract (the real stuff)
Stir briskly in a 1-quart mason jar. Keep the lid on tight and store in the fridge. You could, with each batch, increase the amount of milk or lower the amount of s.c.m. to lower the calories. But really, since you've cut the s.c.m. in half with the regular milk, it's probably about 60-70 calories for 2 Tablespoons.0
