Help! I've realized I'm drinking over 100 calories worth of coffee creamer every morning. Do any of you know of some low-calorie creamers that would be better? Cause let's be honest - I need my coffee, and I need it to taste like it has creamer in it. <3 thanks all!

    I stir a serving of chocolate whey protein into my coffee. I have been doing this the last couple of weeks, and I feel like it really makes a difference. For one, no more coffee creamer. Plus, it's 24g of protein which curbs my appetite against snacking here and there later in the day.

    ***Note: You have to be careful about how you add it or you will get a disgusting, lumpy mess. Pour the coffee into the mug first, and then slowly pour the protein powder in while stirring constantly.

    It tastes like a "poor man's mocha," similar to pouring in a hot cocoa packet but without all the sugar. I hope this is helpful for you! I haven't touched the coffee creamer in my fridge since switching over.

    Well, I'm one of those who likes coffee-flavored creamer LOL, but still "need" my coffee in the morning.

    My compromise between the flavored creamers (yum, but hella calories) and nothing is a generous serving of fat free half and half and splenda (the only time I use artificial sweeteners). Oh, and use decent coffee, too.

    It's still not calorie free, but it's about half the calories of the flavored creamers I was using.

    I've tried using almond milk and other such alternatives, and they were just too "weak" for my tastes.

    Do you use non dairy, flavored or dairy creamers? Non dairy 1 tbs is about 30 calories. The liquid flavored ones are higher in calories but doesn’t get my coffee creamier enough. For flavored coffee taste I use the sugar free liquid syrups the non dairy. Or buy the flavored coffee I like. Good luck!!
