I made one small change today. I now drink my coffee black, and I have been drinking it black for several days now. No more sugary sweet creamers. No, just a clean beverage that can be counted as water. coffee. I feel like this is the beginning of something big!

You are better than I! I still have to havea little skim milk in my coffee and sugar-free syrup! Great job with your transition, it's inspiring!

Why not just use milk instead of creamer? If you're happy with black coffee then fair enough I wonder why not use the obvious alternative to something that sounds like it's full of sugar( we don't really have Creamer in the UK as far as I know)

We don't have creamer in Australia either, it just milk, milk or milk

As for mixing protein powder with coffee, i just use a stick blender. Fill the cup 1/4 full with water and blend, if you fill it any further your walls will have more coffee splattered on them than what would be left in your cup!

Do you have different fat levels for your milk? We have skim, 1%, 2%, 3.25% half and half (half milk half cream), cream, heavy cream, whipping cream, and creamer (where I am means non-dairy flavoured white stuff).

@ogtmama We have full cream and skim, that's pretty much it. There's one local brand that does No fat/reduced fat and full cream, but i havent noticed any of the other brands follow suit. I notice Americans always use % when they talk about milk, is that what it says on the carton, like 1%/2% etc etc

These are the brands of milk i use, as with most milks there's full cream and light

I've been drinking black coffee for years, but now that I'm pregnant I've been adding in a little sugar free creamer to curb my cravings for sweetness. It's like having candy all morning lol!
