The kind I got comes from a non-profit that my church works with, but this is probably pretty close to what I have-

I bought a cheapy coffee grinder and that works fine to grind the beans, (I also use it to grind flax seed). It lasts a while after ground so I do a week's worth at a time.
Honestly I know what you mean, I've had really awesome coffee that didn't need anything in it, however I only have my Costco coffee xD which is good, but probably not as good as Haitian blue (sounds amazing)0 -

See that's what I mean, I want to learn to drink it black then it's perfectly healthy1 -
Every morning I have a cup of hot coffee with a tablespoon (15mL weighed) of Natural Bliss coffee creamer (various flavors, but still less than 5 ingredients). I've discovered that basic unsweetened coffee is an awesome addition to my smoothies. I've also developed a love of iced coffee. To make it guilt-free - and hit my macros - I either go to Starbucks and get a venti 3-pump sugar-free vanilla with a splash of skim milk -OR- I make my own using concentrated cold brew and water _AND THEN_ I add 20g of hydro whey protein powder and mix it up in my blender bottle. I get the sweetness of the chocolate or vanilla protein powder, the kick of the coffee and a protein boost. It's a great combo!
I will definitely try the sugar free vanilla with skim milk at Starbucks, on the road is when I usually like my coffee so perfect. Less sugar the better lol1 -

My favourite is a caramel iced capp (Canadian version), it's about 350-400 cals.. I cut those out fast lol, it's like crack in a cup isn't it?3 -

Quoting myself to add - the above is 57 calories.
I also put leftover black coffee in the fridge, and blend it with chocolate protein powder later for an iced mocha. Yummy! About 100-150 calories depending on the powder.
Nice. Sometimes I add about a half a pouch of no sugar added hot cocoa mix for the same effect.
Oh this is a genius idea, I love mocha/coffee type flavours as an iced smoothie consistency1 -
I add maybe 1/2 tablespoon of 1/2 & 1/2 or whole milk to my coffee just to take the edge off the acidity. I like the flavor of good, black coffee (especially cold brews!!!!) but my stomach does not agree! I'm not a fan of sweet coffee generally but I do occasionally like the Toasted Coconut Cold Brew at Starbucks. They use coconut milk and a coconut syrup- I feel like the syrup has a weird aftertaste but I still like it overall as an alternative to having it plain because it has flavor without being too sweet, and doesn't leave the "filmy-ness" of cream that I personally can't stand.2

There's a few things in life that no matter what I am not willing to give up and coffee is one of them. I would rather run an extra mile a day or do and extra 100 burpees to have coffee sometimes. I have cut back to about once a week and that's about as far as I am willing to go.

What is your favorite healthy coffee drink? I have been eating very healthy lately, exercising consistently, and loosing weight at a good pace. I feel great! I have been able to kick the sweets easily now that I'm actually consuming a good calorie amount, so I don't have as much cravings now. BUT I love love my coffee, whether it's iced or hot. It's so good in the morning. I can't seem to kick the coffee lol
What do you put in your coffee? Any healthy recipes or suggestions would be great!
I do black ice coffee....sometimes I add almond milk just for a little something different. Almond milk comes in chocolate also which is nice.jessicamay1719 wrote: »Hey guys!
Nice job on losing the weight and achieving your fitness goals jessicamay!! If coffee is an important part of your day just find ways to factor it in.
Thank you!! I will stick to one coffee a day instead of 3 (iced coffee that is), almond milk seems to be the go too thing so I will try it!0 -

Totally agree, all in moderation right?2 -
Either iced coffee w/ cream or an iced Americano with heavy cream.2

It's like drinking candy
Comparing it to the generic grounds I was buying it's within a few dollars of each other-but I'm saving money by not buying $3-$4 bottles of flavored creamer

I subscribed to Black Rifle Coffee Co.'s service and get a bag of beans every month. I grind and put this through a French press or cold brew it and add a shot of cream to it ~40 kcals. Great stuff and really brings out the flavor.1

SUGAR FREE CARAMEL SYRUP (0 CAL) PLUS TRUVIA AND CASHEW MILK BETTER THAN ANY LATTE AROUND. Check out torani or da vinci sugar free syrup love their vanilla, butterscotch, cookie dough pumpkin etc3

Black coffee straight up. I enjoy the flavors and aroma's I get from just coffee. Unless it's a cold winter Saturday night...then a liberal amount of Bailey's Irish Cream goes in. It could even be said it's a 3-1 ratio of Bailey's to coffee but those nights are kind of fuzzy...lol3

I used to drink iced coffee black or have a hot skim-milk cappuccino. The caffeine wasn't good for me, though, so I switched to herbal teas or an occasional weak green tea.1
-
We make cold brew at home. I drink about 24oz of it a day with a tablespoon of half and half. In the winter, just regular coffee brewed at home, again with the half and half or occasionally black if I have a second cup.
If I get coffee out, it's an iced coffee with cream or an Americano with the same.1 -
Just plain black dark roast coffee. 5 cals in 20 oz. I log the cals but really don't even need to do that.1
-
Quality whole bean plain dark roast or piñón coffee I then grind and french press myself, with 1-1.5 tablespoons (50-75 calories) of heavy whipping cream per 11 ounces. If I want it iced, I pour it over ice cubes made of the same grind earlier. Otherwise, I take my caffeine as a tablet with a full glass of water. That works, too.1
