I have been using Coffee Mate FF flavored creamer for years. A friend and my dr said to try to eliminate the creamer from my coffee. Since it has so much sugar. Problem is milk in my coffee is boring. I only drink 2 cups in the AM. Thats all. Should I keep the creamer or find something healthier? What else could I use? Thanks!

I usually use 1 tbsp of a sugar free creamer (whatever is on sale), then a tbsp of skim milk, along with a 1/4 tsp of sweet n low. You still get the flavor, but a fraction of the calories.
Also, you can try to switch yourself over to tea as well if you like it.0 -
You could also try Stevia which is an all natural sweetener. Sweet n low, splenda and all them other "sweeteners" aren't really that good for you. They are filled with stuff that is not good for the body. Stevia is all natural and comes from a plant. You could also try some sweetened or unsweetened almond or coconut milk.0

I switched to the Trader Joe's brand soy coffee creamer. I have found it is the best tasting and healthiest substitute for full fat half and half coffee creamer.

I just switched to a sugar free creamer for medical reasons. I am disappointed that it is not fat free but I still use it. I just started using it so I am getting used to the taste.0

I add low fat milk, 1 tsp of sugar and either Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cinnamon.0

I drink my coffee black, but I do like good old fashioned cream or coconut milk in my coffee from time to time.0 -
Almond milk0

I got used to drinking mine without creamer but I do still keep a bottle of sugar free for weekends and DF. Measure it out and try to keep it to one serving. I noticed the sugar free seems to be slightly better for you in terms of calories and sugar than the fat free.0

Land o' Lakes make a fat free half and half that doesn't have very many calories (compared to other creamers) and if you are not opposed to Splenda, they make flavored ones for your coffee ( I think they are between 5-10 calories a piece). The french vanilla one is delicious! I started using this in my coffee, but it was still about 30-35 calories per cup and I decided I could use that for more food so I just gave up coffee all together. Mornings like this though...I really, really miss it!! (Soooooooo sleepy!)0

I drink mine black but you could try some of the flavored almond milk. Its tasty and my daughter loves it in her coffee. It also have twice the calcium as milk and some protein. Another option is to find the sugar free coffee syrups and add them in.0

I just put half and half, try it you will get used to not having sweetner in your coffee.0
-
I buy the bottles of sugar free vanilla syrup from Starbucks and put a tablespoon of that along with a full cup of steamed milk in my coffee. Yes, I have a very big cup.0

I use unsweetened almond milk and sugar free syrups to flavor my coffee.0

COCONUT MILK! and I second Stevia for sweetening. it works great!0

So funny that you posted this. I stopped putting my Sugar Free French Vanilla creamer in my coffee.
Then just last week, I added it back. I figured that i eat great the whole day and I work out everyday, that it was worth the 3 grams of sugar and 3 grams of carbs. I just enjoy my coffee so much more and it is a pleasure.0 -
I'm a black coffee gal myself, but if I want a little flavor, I'll add some protein powder. Plus, you get the added bonus of extra protein. Chocolate makes it taste like a mocha coffee.0
