    I was never a fan of coffee creamer but I did like my coffee pretty sweet (a lot of sugar and half/half) several years ago I weaned myself down to 1 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp (approx) of half and half (this is for a travel size mug. For a typical coffee mug I use half of the amounts I mentioned) any more sugar than that is gross to me now. I just slowly decreased the amount of sugar I was putting in there each week until I got to one tsp. You could also use Splenda or something like that for zero calories, but I think Splenda is gross so I just spare the 15 calories for sugar :p

    Coffee creamer. That’s my problem. Delicious, warm coffee with a butt load of coconut creme liquid creamer in it. Like 210 calories worth.

    Any tips on dropping the habit? Should I scale it back and wean myself off of creamer? Should I just switch to tea?

    I recently re-evaluated my goals and the switch to 1230 is gonna make it difficult to splurge on drinking my calories.

    Thanks in advance!

    Try looking for "Coconut" flavored coffee - most of which is like zero calories or nominal 20 at best.

    I use vanilla premier protein shakes in my coffee. 4 oz of it for 58 calories and 11 protein. I love doing this and have never looked back.

    chocolate, caramel, and cookies and cream are all good flavors for coffee if you like flavors. I use those moreninnice coffee mixed with the vanilla.

    Here's a pic of 4 oz of vanilla in a large mug of coffee, makes it pretty creamy.

    Brew your coffee with coconut extract and measure out half and half or heavy cream and sweetener per cup to control calories
