I currently use stevia, but sometimes I worry this causes health issues as with all other no-calorie sweeteners. It is natural, but is it safe? Opinions?

Artificial sweeteners do not cause health issues, so if you like stevia then by all means use it.21

I use a tablespoon of flavored creamer. Sometimes I get the sugar- or fat-free creamers, if there's a flavor I particularly like, but mostly I don't sweat it. It's 35 calories; it's not going to make or break me.3

Protein powder, fat, and fiber:

I just drink my coffee black...I buy quality coffee beans and grind them daily...good coffee doesn't need anything.
In regards to artificial sweeteners, they don't cause health issues...15 -
Nothing. I drink my coffee black.10

Just cream. Good coffee is plenty sweet enough; I just need to take the edge off the acid.4

Black if I make it or buy it somewhere with decent coffee.
In a latte with skim milk and sugarfree cinnamon dolce syrup from Starbucks if I have to buy it there. Grande skinny flavoured lattes are 120 calories so fairly easy to fit in my day.
I like black coffee so that's my choice most of the time. However, I have no issue with reasonable consumption of artificial sweeteners or dairy, I hate the taste of Stevia, and I don't usually need the extra calories from real sugar, so if I want something sweet or milky, that's what I go for.0 -
Black with half teaspoon of sugar.1

I have 2 cups per day, each with 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of sweet cream creamer. I love it and I will never change it. It is worth every single one of the 190 calories it costs me daily.10

I just use 2 milk.
Used to be a 2 cream, 2 sugar (mmm double double) but started cutting out my sugar. It took a while to get used to but now i cant handle the sweetness of anything other then milk in my coffee.0 -

Half and half and sugar0

Went from more cream and sugar than coffee to black coffee when I was at a large deficit. Then for about 2 years have gone to 2% milk (about 2oz per 20oz coffee). I am currently experimenting with using 1oz of cream either 10% or 18% instead of 2oz of 2% per 20oz coffee1

I use 2 packets of stevia and a splash of skim milk.1

3 oz of a vanilla premiere protein shake. Sometimes some sugar free torani syrup.0

Half and half, sometimes protien powder.0

Black, don't have to count any calories for that, it's hard enough to loose weight, so I just stick to black coffee.3

@kshama2001 What do you do when the nuts and chia seeds float to the top of your coffee?
@Noel_57 I presoak the chia seeds, and have the coconut in the bottom of the cup when the coffee is brewing, so the problem is them sinking, not floating
I put all this in a protein shaker cup, and shake periodically. This time of year I am drinking it cold. When the weather cools down, I will have it warmer, but the coffee needs to cool a bit or the protein powder will curdle. This gives the coconut time to rehydrate.1
