So, I am one of those coffee drinkers every AM. I can go without my coffee if I have to but I really enjoy at least a glass or two every AM. I have noticed though the liquid creamers are HIGH in calories especially if u want more than one glass of coffee. I was wondering if anyone knew of any sweetners that actually work without having to pour 6 packets of something it to sweeten it enough? I don't like my coffee super sweet but I don't really enjoy the "black" taste of coffee alone. I just cant see myself cutting out coffee or liking "black" coffee any ideas and suggtestions are appreciated.
Just seeing if there is anything that works for anyone?....I typically enjoy the hazelnut flavor!...Thanks!

i switched to Stevia and Cocunut Milk creamer (they have a hazelnut flavor). I get this at my health food store..... love it!0

they make flavored splenda now sometimes its hard to find but its yummy and no calories, like hazel nut and some other flavors they dont have many flavors out though. I also use the powder coffee mate the low cal ones they are like 30 calories for a tablespoon0

I use coffeemate sugar free creamer. It's 15 calories per serving and available in hazelnut and french vanilla.:drinker:0

I was using chocolate almond milk, but it takes so much of it to actually have any effect on the taste of my coffee, that it added up to MORE calories than simply using 2 tbsp of fat free french vanilla creamer. If you just want a little sweetness, one or two packets of stevia works great, but for me I need my creamer, not just sweetener. So needless to say, I've gone back to my 2 tbsp of fat free creamer. I would LIKE to have more like 3-4 tbsp but I can get by with 2.0

Soy or coconut creamer- and I add a ton of cinnamon.0

i use almond milk. blue diamond almond milk (vanilla flavor) is 90 calories for a cup. so if you use a 1/4 cup, it is about 25 calories vs the 60 per tablespoon in creamers.0

coconut milk creamer, now why didn't i think about that?!0 -
bump...I wanna know too cause I'm a sucker for the french vanilla. I've got my coffee as dark as I can stand it to be now, and I'm even doing the fat free kind, but still, it's not the greatest.0

I use 1.5 fl oz of 2% milk to an 8 oz cup of coffee. If I'm feeling in the mood for a sweeter coffee I add a tsp of xylitol or splenda.0

Just gave up my coffee 4 days ago b/c I was literally drinking 350 calories of creamer a day (6 cups of coffee and 10 Tbs of creamer a day) so I'm interested to read these responses. I'm also one that has to have the creamer and the sweetness.0

I love hazelnut too... they have sugar free hazelnut syrups which are usually 0 cals! Torani is good and so is Monin... you can buy them on amazon! Also (as said above) coconut creamer is NOMMMMM! lol
Hope you find a yummy substitute!0 -
i use unsweetened almond milk with 40 cals a cup, sugar free caramel syrup and coffee.0

I use the Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla almond milk (40 cals for a whole cup) and Stevia In the Raw sweetener (0 cals).0

the sugar free is less calories then the fat free0 -
I drink mine black and just add splenda0

fat free half and half is AMAZING and i usually add a splash of sugar free Torani vanilla syrup.0

I tried all kinds of stuff and just couldnt get a hang of it. I resorted to just drinking my coffee (its my only guilty pleasure) just the way I like it. I think of it as my reward for the other good stuff Im doing
I just account for the calories and pay the penalty at the gym. Somethings a guy just cant do without :laugh:0 -
