    I am not a black coffee drink either, nor do I enjoy the taste without some sweetness. I use sugar free creamer so it is less calories, however if you just need the creaminess, then unsweetened almond milk is the way to go.
    Also - just a suggestion - I have switched to coffee mocha protein shakes as a substitute for coffee in the morning. It is breakfast and I get everything I need for 130 calories, less than 1g of fat and 20grams of protein.

    Fat free non dairy creamer is like 10 calories per serving, paired with Truvia instead of sugar and you have a low calorie cup of coffee that is pretty tasty!

    Fat free half and falf with sugar free coffee syrup (I use Torani vanilla). 1-2cups of coffee, 2 tbsp syrup, 3tbsp ff half&half = 23 calories and 3 carbs, no fat.

    Protein powder. Sometimes a tsp of hazelnut syrup or tsp almond extract to give it a fresh taste.

    Hi.. I was actually on the same boat as you, I love coffee in the mornings and I was always adding French vanilla creamer which would end up in adding a lot of unnecessary calories…. This is my first week where I started using regular coffee mate powder creamer and 1 packet of splenda, I have cut down my morning calorie intake in half!!! So try it, so far it has worked for me, I like it and with only 1 little packet of splenda, my coffee is sweet enough. Hope this helps :-)

    I use unsweetened almond milk and sugar free coffee syrups, such as Davinci or Torani, to flavor my coffee. I used to be addicted to the yummy sweet caloric creamers and this is a good substitution. You can get any flavor imaginable in the syrups.

    MILK, for heavens' sake! It's good for you, makes the coffee more palatable, and has no artificial chemicals in it.

    Skim or 1% milk and vanilla Whey protein, low sugar, low fat and high protein coffee. or just have it the way it is meant to be drank, black.

    With good coffee I drink it black, not so good coffee I add 1% milk and vanilla protein powder.

    I use unsweetened almond milk in my smoothies and half and half (fat free) in my coffee. I never thought of using the almond milk in my coffee. It's so creamy and less cals than my ff half and half. Thanks for the tip!

    I do flavored coffee, with 2 tbs.fat free half and half and one Truvia. I loved the flavored creamers, but too many calories. Tried skim milk, but had to use a lot to lighten it. This was my fewest calorie find. 20 calories!
