    I drink it black! Vanilla almond breeze might be good!

    I use Coffeemate French Vanilla liquid creamer -- just the regular. I get about 90 cals from that. I don't do sugar-free or fat-free since they just add chemicals to replace what they've taken out. I don't actually add sugar to most things in my diet, but I may eventually change to just milk w/a tsp or 2 of sugar. I just can't do black coffee.

    Honey. It's natural and it has a nutty flavor.

    Not much help here, I just require adequate amounts of caffeine in my cup of coffee!

    I drink mine black, but I have used fat free half and half before and it wasn't too bad. Since I stopped drinking diet pop I drink way more coffee so I had to just start drinking it black.

    I drink cream and sugar. I like to enjoy my morning cup of coffee. I have one tsp. of sugar (15) calories, 1 tbs. of international delight (35 cal. ) and the cup of coffee at 2 calories. 52 calories I can live with so that I can semi enjoy my morning habit.

    Just beautiful black coffee for me. The darker, the better. I love treats that are full of fat and sugar, but for some reason, I've always preferred my coffee plain — or loaded with booze, but that's for a completely different thread. :tongue:

    I've switched to unsweetened almond milk, works for me, naturally sweet and nutty, no fat, has as many calories in a whole cup as some of those creamers have in a tablespoon.

    I agree! Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is the best!

    Also, if I'm having a mostly carb breakfast such as toast (sprouted grain, of course!) or oatmeal, I'll add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to my coffee to get my protein in - tastes like a mocha! :) Yum!

    I used to drink the flavored creamers and a lot of it! Slowly I reduced the amount of creamer in my coffee then I began replacing it with half and half. I have a 16 ounce cup of coffee in the morning with 60 grams (4 TBS) of regular half and half in it. It's 80 calories and I really enjoy it so I'll spend that 80 for a good cup of coffee! If I were drinking a "normal" 8 ounce sized cup of coffee it would only be 2 TBS for 40 calories.

    Coffee Mate makes one called Sweet Italian Cream. It comes in Regular or Fat Free, I used to only use the vanilla creamer but since trying this one i have changed. Even the Fat Free one is amazing.. Give it a whirl!

    All I put is a little bit of 2% milk and one sweet n' low for each cup. I don't need any fancy flavours from elsewhere since my variety of Starbucks coffees usually have its own flavour.

    This is SO my thread. Okay, as far as I am concerned I am nothing without my morning coffee. 2 cups. I drink one the way I like it (4 tbsp sf creamer) and one black because that's how much caffeine I truly require to get my butt out of bed.
