I drink mine with an 80 calorie packet of hot chocolate... I just have one 6 to 8 oz cup a day. The coffee and the hot chocolate is free at work.1

Like my women... Dirty and from a gas station JK!!
I like to add vanilla protein muscle milk (or whatever brand I have) instead of cream and add a couple Stevia packets.3 -
I take my coffee very seriously!
Actually, I can drink it with cream & sugar, just cream and now..after discovering how many calories are added with cream..
I drink it black.

I just realized that my daily 20oz coffee is 240 calories a day! that's a small meal, or at the very least, a good snack! I usually use 4 sugar packets, 4 splenda packets, and 3/4 a cup of half and half! Yikes....any suggestions on how I can still indulge in my creamy coffee....but make it a little lighter??
Are you using 4 sugar packets AND 4 splenda packets?? You don't need both.
Since I've been on MFP I don't actually add sugar to my coffee or tea anymore. For my coffee it is just enough creamer or milk to change the colour from simply black coffee. Tea I use with a little milk and no sugar.0 -
Holy Cow! One splenda packet would make it too sickeningly sweet for me. I like it black.0

I used to have coffee with milk and two sugars, when I started at MPF I tried various combinations (milk/no milk, sugar, less sugar, sweetener etc) but didn't like any of them. Then I thought I'd try black - nothing else. Love it, and now drink black coffee. About 4 calories.2

I have coffee with just a small amount of skim milk, about 20 calories per cup.
no sugar or sweetener1 -

20 oz of coffee sounds terrifying to me - I'm European, used to Italian style coffee - to me coffee is a thick non translucent liquid, consumed with a splash of real milk (not powdered creamer), in a small cup. I have a couple of those a day. I sometimes have them black, sometimes with a tiny bit of sweetener or sugar (like a third of a packet of sugar, just enough to take the bitterness edge off).1

Tiny splash of heavy whipping cream with a bit of coconut oil.0

Tastes great to me like a regular coffee with creamer. The trick for me is to make a slurry with a little cream before tempering in the hot coffee or else you will get a clumpy mess.0 -

yeah, i just want to point out that if you use a non-whey protein regardless of the method you end up with a nasty clumpy mess. Atleast from my experience i've yet to see a vegan protein powder that doesn't go all disgusting in coffee.0 -
@OP, i rarely drink coffee because i like it like you do.
I now generally drink flavored teas (black, green, and white being my favorites).
Otherwise, if i must drink coffee i drink it with ONE creamer, 2 splendas, and about 6-8 ounces total.1 -

I have no experience with vegan anything so I can't comment on that. I use Quest protein powder, ON protein powder and MusclePharm Cookies and Cream protein powder. All of these have worked well in my coffee.0 -

Yeah, before i started having issues with dairy i used ON. Worked great.0 -
I make a latte with almond milk and some sweetener drops I found. It's about 28 calories a cup, and delicious. If I'm feeling super extravagant, I'll use proper syrup which bumps it up to about 70 calories.0

Coffee, black.
Now all I need is a cigarette and a heart break.0 -
You have to figure out where you want to spend your calories. I'd rather spend mine on food than drinks so I learned to drink it black. Sometimes I'll have some skim milk in it but I like it just fine black now, and find it hard to drink if there's sweetener in it.0
