I just bought my first house and my first keurig.
Before MFP, I was drinking my 0cal Donutshop with high calorie coffee creamers and tons of sugar.
Now I use Truvia....
I was wondering what was your favorite flavored creamer that has low calories?
I'm a peppermint girl but I'm open to anything.


Thanks :)
P.s. if you want to add me also, go ahead! i'm super active on MFP and it's my 15th day!

    many creamers contain chemicals and artificial flavors, also they may contain carageenan (a seaweed derivative that is recently reported to be a carcinogen).

    I prefer to just take organic half & half. I don't use sugar.

    It's delicious and satisfying. You could add a drop or two of natural peppermint spirits for 0 cal.

    I just use whole milk. Too much sugar and palm oil, plus chemicals in most creamers. I don't like the way they taste,either.
    We roast our own coffee so don't want to cover up the flavor of nice beans with fake cream. Although, real coffee purists drink it black.
    My favorite coffee actually tastes like blueberries. It's Erhiopian, from the Harrar region. My second favorite is a natural processed Brazil.
    I've also had Panama Geisha, which is very unique. Floral, a lot like Jasmine tea.

    My favorite is the coconut milk creamer (So Delicious). They have plain and french vanilla, I prefer the plain. 20 cals/serving.

    Be careful of coffee creamer! I thought I was having the two tablespoon (I think) serving for 60 cals but realized later it was more than double that, which basically wiped out my daily deficit for a month! Make sure you measure it!

    I've taken to drinking my coffee black -- keeps the calories down.

    I use real half and half. I measure 1 or 2 Tbs depending on the size of my mug/tumbler. It is 20 calories per tablespoon, and it is very very worth it.

    If I really want to have a sweetener, I use 1 Tbs (measured) sugar free hazelnut syrup. I know it's full of chemicals, but it's really good :smile: . I also will occasionally use half a packet of truvia/stevia instead of the SF syrup.
