Hazelnut coffee creamer has got me depressed 😭

Some people like sugar free flavored syrups, like Skinny Syrup or Toriani sugar free version. I think that people have found some of these at places like Marshall's, but other folks could recommend flavors and places to get them.

Walden Farms has a no calorie coffee creamer, but their products are VERY hit or miss, and I personally have not enjoyed any that I've tried. Someone else would need to weigh in with a review of that particular one.

I think I would personally try a lower calorie creamer plus sugar free syrup. However, if there are no alternatives that taste good to you, then I'd agree that budgeting calories for what you want is more pleasant and reasonable.

Bah, I got off the creamer thing (thanks, Navy and deployments) and now just use hot chocolate mix. We lovingly call them Boat Mochas when underway. 10 grams of hot chocolate powder to a Tervis full of coffee (typically around 520ml - and I use Folgers flavored stuff), and it's a tasty treat.

Edit: That entire 520ml of flavored coffee boat mocha usually comes in at about 65(ish) calories.

almond milk, 30 calories a cup

Man, at that point just use milk. A cup of 2% milk is like 130 calories with 9 grams of protein. Just make your coffee in the milk, or if you have an espresso machine, make a latte. Super rich coffee beverage, better nutrition, lower calories. Add a sweetener of your choice, for me that's sucralose. Honestly even if you used sugar you'd still probably be lower than 190.

Cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar? Or even just milk and sugar. I have 4 sugars a day in my one coffee a day

Try fat free half and half and then add in some spices like cinnamon/nutmeg. Also, weaning helps. I used to drink my coffee with cream and sugar (lots of both) and then over time just widdled it down so now I drink it with 2 tbsp fat free half n half and that 's it. But it took quite awhile because I didn't want to feel deprived. And now I actually like it better with no sugar.

I like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but I don't usually put sugar in my coffee. I do like the Swerve sweetener, you could add that for zero calories and I find it doesn't have the awful artificial taste.

I'm a creamer snob, too. Its awful. I hate black coffee but I absolutely love it and even crave it with cream and sugar of some sort.
What I found that I REALLY like, even better than normal creamer to be honest, is a half cup of vanilla almond milk (right around 15 calories depending on brand, if you use unsweetened) and then 2 tsp of packed brown sugar (35 ish calories.)
You could use less almond milk, too, if you wanted. 1/2 cup is a lot for some people but when I say I hate black coffee, I mean it. Lol.

The little bit of molasses that's in brown sugar is what does it for me, I think, paired with the nutty flavor from the almond milk. Yum!

Worth it to add, this is a struggle I am well-versed in as I am struggle with fatigue and coffee is my morning go-to and my afternoon kick-start so I have to find lower calorie alternatives to making it yummy when it gets boring. Otherwise I'd be consuming a meal's worth of creamer calories in a day.

I've also been known to blend a chocolate muscle milk and some sugar free caramel syrup in there.

I love my coffee creamer too. I slowly cut it in half. It took awhile to get used to. When I ordered at Starbucks I would get 200 calories of vanilla sweet cream in my cold brew so I feel your pain! I ask for light now (I get venti when I go) to half the calories and add a packet of Splenda. I started making cold brew at home so I could save more calories, down to 35 from 100 with International Delight Cold Stone Creamery Sweet Cream. I'll also have half-and-half with Splenda. I'm planning on trying cashew milk when I run out of sweet cream to try something healthier. Don't know if it'll work though!
