Besides skim milk? I love my creamy fat free vanilla creamer, but its way too many calories : (

    Most of those coffee mate creamers have hfcs in them and are loaded with yucky chems. I can't stand the taste of them. I use regular old half and half and add it to my breakfast calories.

    Mini moos are 10 calories for one of the little containers.

    Try the sugar free creamer. It's lower in calories and try and reduce how much creamer you put in your coffee. If you want it a little sweeter still put some splenda in it.

    I used Nestle coffee creamer, the non liquid kind. It's not high in calories. Half and half is good too.

    I actually just bought the Cinnabon flavor creamer. Yes, the calories are high but there is no sodium. I look at it this way..I can burn off the calories, so it's okay. Sometimes I will buy the Fat Free or Sugar Free creamers.

    Almond milk! Original, vanilla, and chocolate flavors! 60-90 calories for an entire glass. So as a creamer it'll hardly be any!

    This! I use unsweetend almond milk and stevia. I was really surprised how creamy it is. Unsweetened almond milk is 40 calories a cup, so only 2 1/2 calories a tablespoon.

    I second (or maybe third) the almond milk. Also unsweetened soy can be quite creamy but a little more calories. I'm gradually using less and less in my coffee and hoping to be able to go without. I already cut out the sugar (can't stand artificial sweeteners).
