Help! I need healthy coffee creamer alternatives or at least creamer that doesn't have a zillion calories, or toons of fake sugar. Thoughts? Thank you!

    There used to be a sugar free fat free creamer from International Delight. I can not find it anymore. This is a hard one! I have tried everything! I now mostly use those flavored drops. But they are not the same at all. I love creamer! So I will be watching this..to see what you find! Thanks for posting.

    There are lots of yummy options for pretty low calories.

    So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer - plain, hazelnut or french vanilla. 25 calories per Tbsp.
    Silk Almond Milk Creamer - plain, vanilla or caramel. 15 calories per Tbsp.
    Coffee Mate Natural Bliss - lots of flavors at about 30 calories per Tbsp. Nothing fake only milk, cream & a little sugar.

    Mostly I switch between the coconut milk and the almond milk creamers. My current favorite is the Silk Almond Milk creamer. Since I only drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day, that's a pretty low calories for some serious coffee enjoyment. <3

    I don't like the taste of just black :) I like flavor! And I don't really plan on changing that

    We don't have creamer here in Australia. Our choices are milk or black. Why not try normal full cream milk, not the watery skim stuff.

    Going to keep my eye on this for new ideas... ;) Maybe I'll look for some of those almond/coconut milk types to try.

    I currently use International Delight creamer - which is 35 cals per tbsp and I take two, so I only have one cup of coffee per day! I used to have milk in it, but now my hubby buys cheap coffee which I hate the taste of with milk so I need something with flavour... ;)

    Unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

    This is what I use. Our currently I am actually using unsweetened vanilla almond cashew milk. It's s little thicker than just almond milk.

    I've used lightly sweetened almond milk. It's not Irish Cream, but it's something.

    I use mini moos. They are little packages of ultra pasteurized cream

    Before I switched to black coffee, I was using cashew milk. Similar to almond milk but without the nutty flavor.

    Another vote for drink it black. I used to hate it but now it's a staple.

    I'm going to say the sugar free suggestions will probably all have "fake sugar" but that's nothing to worry about. It's perfectly safe and if you like the taste then use them.

    I'm a Brit, no creamers here either. Milk for me. Though I have a coffee machine that has creamer pods, just plain not flavoured and they are creamier than milk and about the same calories. Though I appreciate that's not helpful.

    Sometimes I add cinnamon to my coffee grounds before brewing. That's delicious. Otherwise, just milk. I got off the sugar at my dentist's advice a decade or so ago. You either have real sugar or fake sugar if you want sweetness...

    I, personally, like my cream and sugar with a drop of coffee. I worked at starbucks for YEARS! The best way to have your coffee with out the junk is a spice or 2...i.e. nutmeg, pumpkin spice (Brand mccormick), cinnamon, vanilla powder and whole milk or dairy substitute. play around with the amounts until you find whats right.. there is also a creamer called "Walden Farms Calorie Free Coffee Creamer" it is Sugar, calorie, carb, gluten and fat free, however it is sweetened with Splenda. <3 happy tasting!

    There are any number of nut milk based coffee creamers out there, but they all use guar, carrageenan, or other gums to thicken them, to get that 'creamy' texture. Regular cream is only 50 calories a tbsp, and I find a single tbsp is just right in a 16 oz. mug. I think I'm OK with 50 calories for a 16 oz. beverage that isn't plain water. (OK maybe 2 or 3 added calories for the coffee!)

    Note: I am doing Whole30 for the month of March, so I will be drinking it black for now.

    I have tried the sugar free creamers and they taste like crap. I just use the regular ones and keep it to 1 TB.
