So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer - comes in french vanilla and hazelnut. 50 calories for 2 Tbsp.
Silk Almond Milk french vanilla Creamer - 40 calories for 2 Tbsp.
I switch back and forth. These taste just as good to me as the International Delight and Coffee-mate brands that are full of stuff I don't want, plus much higher calories.0 -
I use Coffee Mate liquid creamer, a little powder creamer, and Splenda. Cup of coffee still totals around 50-80 calories. Not bad since I only drink one a day. That plus breakfast is usually 300 calories or less.0
-
2 tablespoons half and half and 2 packs of Splenda and log it as 50 calories. I have three or four a day and it's very well worth the calories.0

I'm a creamer addict, but definitely going to try the almond milk and less creamer. Great suggestion!0

I've liked both Coffee Mate powdered creamers I've tried, pumpkin spice and sugar free creamy chocolate. Both are thirty calories for two teaspoons.
Personally, my coffee at home has a nice enough flavor to drink black. My decaff and work coffee on the other hand...0 -
I just drink flavored coffee with plain (fat free) creamer. So I get my french vanilla kick with no extra calories.0

Yes! Coffee mate and Spenda. My morning coffee is 60 calories.0 -
I was putting a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream in mine until recently when I was out of it and discovered I actually enjoy it black. Who knew? The downside is, now I'm 250 calories short for the week. I'm sure I'll find something to fill that with.0

Maybe it's a non-Australian thing, but after hearing about it quite regularly I still don't quite know what 'coffee creamer' is. Is it a flavouring you put in your coffee? A milk substitute? both?
I have my non-barista made coffee with about 40mL of regular old-fashioned whole milk. Unless you drink it black, anything else to me just seems like a liquid dessert rather than coffee.0 -

I love this idea! I will look for the Coconut milk in french vanilla. I just tried coconut milk in a Thai dish and it was delicious. And I know--my beloved International Delight has awful fake chemicals in it. Its my one vice but not worth with the calories. I'd rather save that for food! Or my other love.... Wine

Yes, flavor and milk substitute (for me at least). It is a liquid dessert! It's probably the only dessert my kids can't steal from me!!0 -
Thanks for all the info on creamers! Coffee with flavored creamer is a major weakness of mine!!0
-
Some great tips here. I too must have that one cup of coffee a day. I love creamer. My second cup is now tea.0

Somebody that I know likes to use coconut cream.0

It's a vegetable-oil based substitute for milk or cream, and in recent years it comes in lots of flavors like french vanilla, hazelnut, Bailey's irish cream, etc. I'm not a fan, since I don't like sweetener of any kind in my coffee, plus it leaves a nasty oily film on the top of your coffee.0 -
Caffeine from coffee can be a great, all-natural pre-workout or pick-me-up while at work. However, loading your coffee with sugar and cream can be detrimental to your fat-loss efforts. So next time you reach for a cup of Joe, try adding cinnamon.
Cinnamon is the perfect substitute for creamers, sugar, and artificial sweeteners. Not only will you save a few calories by skipping the creamer, but your coffee will also taste delicious and festive.
What's more, cinnamon has some amazing health benefits. Studies show that cinnamon has antihyperglycemic properties, which means it can help regulate blood sugar levels.

That sounds disgusting. I wonder why they don't make flavored cream (like from a real cow)? I remember having this discussion with a European in China once. He owned the restaurant and someone asked for cream with their espresso. He apologetically said that he didn't have "American cream". Huh? We then discussed the difference between cream and creamer. Apparently he had had complaints lol.0 -

If your total caloric intake is still under maintenance, even with sugar and cream, you will still lose weight!
