    ^^ Those were the same reasons I started drinking it black - powdered creamer everywhere! Ick!

    With half and half cream, and stevia or monkfruit to sweeten. Occasionally I'll have a flat white or cappuccino at a coffee house, also sweetened with stevia or monkfruit. That's how I like it and after nearly 50 years of drinking it that way, I have no desire to force myself to like it black.

    Whole milk latte, no sweetener.

    Usually I drink it black but for a treat I'll add cashew milk, stevia, vanilla, cinnamon, Hershey's chocolate, and a squirt of whipped cream.

    MCT oil and cacao powder, you get the health benefits form the cacao and it gives the coffee a chocolate taste

    So any neat ways you drink your coffee to keep it somewhat healthy!
    I use coconut oil in place of creamer and in a blender to make it frothy! I also cut back to 2-3 8oz here and there, and switched to tea! But i still love my coffee! Its the one treat i want to keep in my meal plan!
    Any other ideas to make it yummy!

    Just curious how coconut oil is "healthier" than creamer?

    IDK...we buy high quality coffee beans and grind fresh daily and drink it black...good coffee really doesn't need anything IMO. If my wife happens to get a dark roast I usually cut it with a little milk as I prefer a medium roast...preferably Colombian bean.

    I never really put sugar in my coffee, but always used milk or half and half. It took me FOREVER to cut back until I was drinking black coffee, but now I love it. I agree with the poster above who says if you drink your coffee black you can really tell if it's a good cup or not.

    I love coffee- it is my favorite drink- I use different flavor K cups- and enjoy with 1 tbs of half and half or with almond milk and stevia or sweetner of choice each morning.

    I add whey isolate and chocolate milk to mine for a great preworkout protein shake.

    Same here. I use vanilla protein powder instead of cream & sugar.

    One of the things I love about the ketogenic diet is being able to use real cream in my coffee without guilt, and I usually froth it in a blender along with a tablespoon each of good-quality butter and coconut oil. Stevia is my sweetener of choice, and if I'm really getting fancy I may add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or a little vanilla extract.

    I once upon a time dumped my black coffee into my chocolate protein shake while rushing from the gym to work. Have been addicted ever since.

    I drink espresso black no sugar, BUT I add fun things to the grounds. Cinnamon, or pumpkin spice, or mint...
    I recently got a mega grinder and have been grinding almonds in with the beans. It's gotta be fattening because it's so good. It's rough on the grinder too.
    Tasty stuff though.

    I just take the hit! I sacrificed my International Delight Cold Stone Sweet Cream creamer for the Silk caramel creamer, but I gotta keep atleast one teaspoon of sugar.

    I was looking into getting a grinder, perhaps i shall try a good coffee black and see how that is!

    How do you ad mint? Do you crush the mint leave then ad on top of grounds? Excellent idea by the way!
