What is your favorite fancy coffee drink?

I just checked the almond milk and coconut milk of the starbucks here only to see that they have a lot of added sugar so went with heavy cream-- was prb a calorie bomb, but no sugar. I wish they had sugar free coconut and almond milk.PaleoInScotland wrote: »I'll get a cappuccino occasionally as they don't have too much milk in them. And I rarely have a Starbucks accessible, but I did get a coconut milk sugar free caramel latte a couple months ago, but I definitely wouldn't make that a habit, it was a one off treat, a very yummy treat

Black coffee lol0

If I make coffee at home, I do a bulletproof coffee. But if I'm out and about, Starbucks cold brew is my go-to. When I'm feeling fancy, I get an iced coffee with sugar free vanilla and heavy cream.
Can't do hot black coffee just yet.0 -
I remember learning about all different syrup flavors after reading this thread... i only used hazelnut and caramel. And peppermint at starbucks. I've been eyeing them but they are kinda pricey. Yet, there is an amazing sale on this one!!!!!! http://amzn.to/2iqJRUC0

Ok mine are totally not low carb so I only drink black coffee...but when I was a S.A.D. eater I loved a white chocolate mocha and a s'mores mocha....yum in a cup. I could probably have them low carb but I don't do well with artificial sugars.0

I usually do my coffee plain (black and bitter like my soul - hahaha).
If I'm feeling a bit of a sweet tooth I will have a latte made with coconut milk carbs are 11small, 15med, 18large (starbucks) and for me those are sometimes worth it. Thus far I haven't had any issues with the coconut milk triggering me to crave more carbs, which is nice.2 -
I like to put a couple tablespoons of full-fat Mascarpone into a cooling tower sized mug, nuke for 20 seconds, then stir in cold-brewed espresso, then liquid stevia and vanilla extract (without added sugar!) to taste.
Soooo yummy it makes your tonsils tingle even if you don't have any!3 -
@RalfLott I'm going to have to get Mascarpone to try that now!
I love mocha and if I'm not in a rush definitely take the time to make it. I was just mentioning this in another forum, I tried a lot of cocoa, but only like this one in my mocha http://amzn.to/2iS4kQ4. I blend organic sumatra coffee, two tablespoons of mct oil or one tbsp grassfed butter and one tbsp mct oil, a little bit of cinnamon, and vanilla or hazelnut syrup (this one's my favorite http://amzn.to/2jGD478 and this way I don't get powder sweetener carbs). Really yummy. Sometimes I add a dash of salt.1 -
@RalfLott thanks! I should try that. I might end up pouring less of the syrup as I do like the flavor, I don't like things too sweet. I tried a couple of syrups made with stevia but wasn't thrilled and just realized actually that it wasn't just stevia they had but that's how they advertise.
I was using stevia drops as sweetener and once I started using the syrups, so much easier! And I figured they don't have the carbs like the powder ones. I make muffins, desserts etc. with these syrups now, too. And I've only recently discovered erythritol. Made awesome blondies and macaroons with them. Whatever I make with it tastes so much better warmed up.0 -
I must add, I think it comes down a lot to brewing method and coffee quality. This is my favorite and when I'm out and I get coffee elsewhere etc. I feel the difference... http://amzn.to/2iuBJCM . I get it from TJ usually, surprised Amazon has it. I either do pour over coffee, or make Turkish coffee and strain the grounds. Clean up is easier than French press, espresso etc. although those are also superior methods.1

Aha! The liquid (little green bottle - nicely portable) is easier than the carb-spiked powder packets anyhow - a quick squirt and you're done.

Finally found some mascarpone this weekend.....Yummy with just a touch of unsweetened cocoa.....Almost like the mochas I used to enjoy....So creamy....that's what I loved about it.2 -
When I'm feeling fancy I put whipping cream in my milk frother. Stir some in to the coffee and put the rest in top (2 tbsp if I split with my hubby, 4 if I use the whole batch). Then sprinkle cinnamon & nutmeg on top, just a dash. No sweeteners.1

I used to love just getting flavored coffee grounds and drinking that plain but there are hidden calories and carbs in those I think. I decided earlier this week to get regular coffee grounds and some vanilla butter nut extract and add a few drops to my cup in the morning. It actually tastes really good just like that without creamer or sweeteners, and no cals or extra carbs!1
