hey all! Best new trick ever! I put a few drops of extract in my coffee (vanilla, almond, coconut) and a splash of my fav premade vanilla protein shake. So good! No bad sugar cals like the crazy creamers out there! Enjoy!

    I've tried adding peppermint tea to mine, can't say I was a huge fan but it could be worth a try.

    ^^I love those coffee flavors, I used to hit up the coffee shop next to my work and flavor my coffee from home lol...they were cool with my cheapness after all, I would buy their $3 muffins

    Sometimes it's fun to throw some ground spices into the coffee grounds before it brews. So cinnamon or gingerbread spice mix. It's subtle and it makes things interesting.

    I add some unsweetened almond milk (only 30 cals for about 1 cup!) and a tiny dash of french vanilla creamer. Good idea with the vanilla extract, gonna do that tomorrow morning instead of the creamer.

    Dunkin Doughnuts has some yummy flavored coffees out right now that you can make at home.

    I sometimes add a tablespoon of Hershey's baking chocolate to my grounds before I brew. Yum. :) I generally do not sweeten my coffee and have just a splash of milk.

    Jordans skinny (calorie free) coffee syrups are pretty great and on offer atm in tkmaxx atm. I just got 19 bottles in different flavours. (Should keep me caffinetted for a while)

    The salted caramel chocolate is just amazing in a morning brew!

    Sodium can be kinda high in some flavours.

    Shake some cinnamon over the ground coffee before brewing. So good!
