What do you sweeten/lighten your coffee with?

i dont put sugar or sweeteners in mine.. Sometimes I will use a couple TBSP of coffee cream or a few tsp of powdered whitener. I drink 1-2 cups/day.0

Sweetener: Stevia. Took a while to get used to it, but it works now.
Creamer: I use organic half and half, which is about as skinny as it gets for me. I also make flavored creamer out coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, Stevia, and organic half & half. It has more calories than store-bought flavored creamer, but fewer chemicals.
Remember, if you reduce your creamer, reduce your coffee a bit and it'll taste right again.0 -
I've only been doing it with iced coffee, but my new favourite thing is just some skim milk & cinnamon. Yum!0

4oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and two packets of Stevia in the Raw. 20 calories a cup, and provides a good chunk of my daily calcium.
What I really love to do is to whip the almond milk with a milk frother (currently using a $2 one from IKEA), which makes it all fluffy like the steamed milk on a cappucino. Feels far more indulgent than it is!0 -
Sugar Free French Vanilla creamer and one sweet n low0

I love it black Only if it's good coffee, though0
-
Silk hazelnut soy creamer and one packet of Stevia. Only adds about 20 calories per tablespoon of Silk.0

Try it black... It's not that bad!0
-
1/4 to 1/3 c almond or rice milk (depending on the mug I'm using) and 1/2 T agave nectar, or liquid stevia (about 4 drops). Unless it's Dark Matter coffee, in which case I drink it black, no sugar.0

You can use Truvia Sugar. It;s a calorie free sweetener.

I'm a coffee drinker as well; I normally drink a max of 2 cups daily and I use only a tblsp of creamer. I use any creamer; i too love flavored creamers. I do not sweeten my coffee though; just coffee and cream0

I use 1/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (10 calories) and 2 tablespoons of sugar free flavored syrups from Davinci or Torani (0 cal).0

I'm bad at these things. I drink my coffee black. Confuses the hell out of the baristas...
ME TOO!!!
I just say "I LIKE the TASTE of Coffee!"0 -
I used to use plain soy milk, when given the option I do skim milk and if anything half-half creamer. I stopped using sugar a long time ago.0

I found York Peppermint Patty creamer...I measure out one tablespoon in my coffee mug, two mugs full per day. mmmm...0

I use almond milk and splenda (yes, I know there are better alternatives to Splenda)
Stevia is good too0 -
hi, I too like the flavored creamers, i stared limiting my coffee and replacing with Crystal light iced tea or flavored hot tea [Cinnamon] is my favorite] I suggest decreasing your coffee as i did one less per day. until you are @ your calorie goals for daily intake.0
