    I recently tried a creamer called Laird’s Superfood Creamer. It’s coconut milk dehydrated. Very little sweetness but it grows on you.

    I use a 1/4 cup fat free organic milk, with 1-2 Tbsp of the Torani Sugar Free coffee syrups. It tastes great and is only 44 calories for a 16 ounce coffee.
    On the weekends, I splurge and use a 1/2 cup of milk.

    I used honey and gradually weaned myself off. I had been using Splenda and it was causing issues health wise. i switched back to sugar then changed to honey then reduced and then eliminated in course of couple weeks. I also went from half and half to whole to 2% and now down to 1% milk. Skin doesn't do it for me but 1% much better than the cream in coffee. I also bought a frother for milk because it made coffee creamier to me than just the cold milk.

    I have a Stevia plant and the aftertaste is definitely a funky one.

    if you want your coffee to taste a little bit better but don't wanna add any badness into it like sugars, then why not try a bit of vanilla essence you can always throw in a bit of orange peel makes my coffee taste like Terry's chocolate orange, and as for the Stevia did you try drying out and blending it up into a green powder or did you throw a whole leaf in as the flavour differs in these methods.

    I could read people talk about their coffee All. Day. <3

    I usually just drink mine black. But if I'm going to add something it's 2T half and half. 40 calories and worth it.

    I add 1/3 of 11 oz container of PREMIER PROTEIN (high protein shake -vanilla) to my morning coffee. Great way to add protein and a host of vitamins and minerals.

    My daughter, who needs more caffeine some days, goes thru drive thru at Dunkin gets a shot of expresso over ice and then pours whole container in the cup.

    I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but a friend of mine uses caramel premier protein shakes as her creamer to make iced coffee.

    ^^ This! I followed WW for about a year or two and would often put Premier Protein in my coffee as the creamer. My favorite was the caramel, but you could use vanilla or chocolate, depending on your preference. I found that using the protein shakes meant I didn't need to add sweetener to my coffee. You can also have Starbucks put a shot of espresso in a large (venti) cup with ice and then pour the protein shake over it.

    I don't typically put anything in my coffee, but every once in a while I get a little bit wild and throw 1/8 of a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a shake of cinnamon in there.

    Try a pour over with light to medium roast beans. That'll have a natural sweetness (and more caffeine) and you can drink it over a day since there's no milk to keep from going bad. Sometimes I leave my 2nd cup out overnight and drink it in the morning; I'm super addicted to coffee and I drink about 16 ounces a day this way.

    The pour over technique is easy and cheap, and Blue Bottle's pour over tutorials are quite good. I like to use mineral water and beans roasted within 2 weeks to enhance the taste. I have a huge sugar addiction and used to drink coffee with cream and sugar but for the last 10 years or so I've vastly preferred coffee prepared this way. My partner calls it "coffee-flavored water" but I'm a caffeine junkie so I find it heavenly :)

    I use fat-free milk and a little Lakanto Monkfruit sugar substitute. It's a zero net carbs, zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener that can be used just like granulated sugar. It also comes in a syrup and brown sugar versions. I order it off Amazon.

    I just do a small coffee with only two creams. Tastes yummy and it wakes up my soul! The key is moderation, don’t load it down with cream and sugar, just do enough to give it some depth. The two creams I use imo is perfect and it still has the coffee taste ❤️

    I had a bit of a pity-party after going through 3 straight weeks of -35 degree Celsius or worse weather and bought myself a milk frother for coffee. Today I put 1/3 cup of chocolate milk that is lower sugar, higher protein in it and added my French press coffee. Was delicious and worked out to 3g sugar, 5g protein, ~40cals

    I freeze coffee into cubes and then blend them in to my morning smoothie.

    Hi! I brew a 4 ounce cup in the morning. Then I heat up 2 to 3 tablespoons of half and half and then dissolve some truvia in it. About a teaspoon and a half. I have found truvia has little after taste. Sometimes I top it with sugar free whipped cream. Yum! Not a big cup of coffee but enough for me and because its smaller you dont have to use a ton of cream.
    For iced coffee: do the same with the half and half and truvia. Pour a cup of stok unsweetened cold brew coffee over ice and add desired amount of half and half truvia mix.
    Just have to play with how sweet you like it. This trick has saved me when it comes to getting my coffee fix!!!
