Coffee Addicts on Creamer

Hey guys!
So, I love coffee. I love it so much that I drink it black most of the time just to taste it. (Yes, I have problems, haha.)

My question is, what is your favorite creamer you use? I've tried Almond Breeze Almond milk creamer & I just don't like it. I prefer a low carb and low sugar creamer that still gives the coffee a slight sweetness! Please let me know what you use.

Right now I use low-fat condensed milk (has loads of sugar, about 13g/tbs) and a teaspoon of coconut oil & it tastes amazing but I want to try other options!

Thanks guys!

    I drink it black unless it's a dark roast and my wife is at the helm and then I just use a little milk to cut it. Occasionally I treat myself to a cappuccino...

    I put sugar free salted caramel syrup in mine. Adds good flavor :smile:

    I alternate between 3 tbsp. of either Sweet Cream coffee creamer or Crème Brulee coffee creamer, in 24oz of coffee. It clocks in at 105 calories, but absolutely worth it. The extra fat content helps get me through the morning. If I need to make up a deficit, I'll drink it black with 2 Spendas, but those days make me sad and hungry :(.

    Whipped cream or coconut cream from the can are my favourites.

    I like the french vanilla. I buy it in the individual tubs. But my all time favorite it the cold stone sweet cream

    I JUST discovered using unsweetened coconut milk as a coffee creamer. I don't like my coffee very sweet (and find that flavored creamers sometimes have an icky aftertaste), and I'm not a fan of the weird cloying filmy feeling and I get from most creamers. I looooove the coconut milk though- it's naturally just a tiny bit sweet and adds only a touch of creamyness (though I'm sure coconut cream could be used if you do want it to be creamy).

    DamieBird -- my cup of coffee with the low fat condensed milk + (good) fats from the coconut oil is about 150 cals and I feel the same about it being my breakfast to help me power through! :)

    I use Trader Joe's organic half and half. I like it because it doesn't have any strange ingredients like carrageenan and it is not ultra pasteurized. These things matter to me, but probably not to most people. I use 2-3 tablespoons each day. I usually have 3 cups of coffee.

    I'm willing to give it a try! I drink coffee like that too, and it's all Dark Roast. Is it sweet at all?

    Thank you Moxie! Since you enjoy coconut, you should also try adding a tsp of coconut oil and whip it, it gives it a little froth and tastes amazing!

    I do a splash of unsweetened almond or cashew milk, and a little bit of truvia, and it tastes delish

    Instead of creamer, I do flavored coffee with Splenda and a little fat free half and half.

    I use half and half. I put in two tablespoons and a little sugar and then I just keep adding the coffee. I work from home so I can keep refilling if needed. So my first cup is kind of light and sweet and then it darkens as I add more of the coffee.

    Personally, I really like SO Delicious's Culinary Coconut milk. It comes in resealable terra packs, so you don't have to find a new container for it once it's open. Plus, it's already emulsified, so you don't have to stir the cream back in like you have to with canned coconut milk.

    Nutpods also makes some really good creamees. I like their French Vanilla one. They don't have preservatives, are Whole 30 compliant, and they make coffee super creamy for 10 calories a tablespoon!

    I use 8 oz unsweetened Almond Cashew milk (heated) with 8 oz coffee. I sweeten it with caramel flavored stevia or regular stevia and pumpkin pie spice.

    Later in the day I use the leftover cold coffee to make a mocha protein shake.

    I like half and half. No weird chemicals, lower in sugar than creamer.

    When I reduced the amount of sweeteners that add on my coffee, started buying the coffee creamers with flavors. Now I back to half & half(2tbsp) and 2 equals. I am trying to go without any sweeteners. 2 weeks ago I bought Bailey's Creme brûlée and it was to sweet.

    I can't stand almond milk on my coffee. I rather die, but without coffee I will probably die anyway.

    Just plain old half and half and a tsp of sugar
