For those of you that drink coffee, what do you put in it? I am addicted to the French Vanilla Coffeemate. I have tried to switch to the sugar free or the fat free and I think it kind of ruins the taste of my coffee. I need ideas that are lower in sugar and that taste good. I gotta have my coffee and I really want to enjoy it, I only have one cup a day.

you only have one cup per day, enjoy it! Isn't that only about 35 calories? I know you are looking for a substitute but keep thinking lifestyle change and moderation. One cup a day isn't going to kill your goals and if it makes you feel less deprived it might even help keep you motivated.0

Not a thing! I roast and grind my own, I buy the best organic, free trade, sustainable practices coffee. Why would I want to not then taste that great coffee flavor by adding things to it?? Plus it a calorie free thing when black.0

Im not giving up my coffe. I have my coffe first thing in the morning and drink it how iI like. I did switch to fat free cream. Unless you are a diabetic and have to limit your sugar, that might be a diffrent story. To me this is a lifestyle change. My life includes coffe. There is actually a group on here for coffe lovers. The bottom line is to do what works for you.0

I recently started taking my coffee black or sometimes with a bit of non-dairy creamer. I'm trying to cut down on my sugar intake.0

Stevia drops and some half and half.0

I switched from CoffeeMate French Vanilla to Regular Half & Half. I put a little bit of cinnamon in the grounds before I brew it for flavor. Half and Half has half the calories and no sugar!0

I drink it black. However...once or twice a month I have a Starbuck, Grande, Non-fat Vanilla Latte....Simple Pleasures0

I'm in agreement! I have one or two cups in the morning. I log everything I put in my body! But this is a lifestyle change and I have to be able to live with this long term, so there are some things I'm not giving up, like my coffee in the morning. I did give up other things, though, like my diet dr. pepper ...0 -
I was in the same boat. I loved the french vanilla creamer! 35 calories isn't bad, if you can keep it to just one Tablespoon, but I was using 2 per cup, and having 2 cups a day! I switched to hazelnut coffee with 2 tbsp of skim milk and 2 Sweet n Lows (one large cup per day). Took some time to adjust, but now I can't live without it.0

I use half and half cream and Splenda. That gives me the taste I love. Honestly, I don't worry about those 50 cals & fats from the cream. I've tried skim milk, etc. but it tastes gross to me.0
-
I like my creamy ...So I add 1/2c of almond milk and 1pkt of stevia0
-
I use 1% milk and splenda0

Protein powder sometimes. It's best with iced coffee but works as a great "creamer" in hot coffee as well.
otherwise light half n half or black w/ 1 truvia/stevia.0 -
Torani (found in the coffee isle) comes in sugar free, various flavors: chocolate, French vanilla, raspberry, caramel, hazelnut to name a few~0
-
vanilla soy milk with splenda for me. Once you continue to drink things a certain way you get used to them!0
-
I will drink mine black, but I prefer to use the flavored coffees! Although, I have to say my favorite "non-flavored" coffee right now is Starbucks Blonde.0
