    Black coffee with 1 pack Equal - went cold turkey from creamer when I started this Lifestyle Change two years ago. Those extra calories wouldn't amount to squat today, but back then it was all or nothing for me. :wink: :wink: :wink:

    I don't like to drink my calories, I usually have it black with cinnamon to kick the metabolism and insulin levels in gear :) sometimes I like to have a splash of almond milk and splenda or keurig vanilla coffee cups which are 15 cals.

    I guess I'm in the minority here in that I like it black.
    Love the flavor of coffee so why cover it up. Yum. Oh and the thicker and stronger and blacker the better!!

    Plain, the way they are meant to be.

    Things like lattes go it the dessert category and don't qualify as coffee. :)

    I always say I like my coffee the same way I like my men, strong, dark, and bitter....

    I take coffee with skim milk no sugar, or unsweetened almond milk no sugar...unless of course it's an Irish coffee...then it's demerara sugar (itsp), Irish Whiskey, and whipped cream....yummmmm

    Tea with a little honey or plain...no milk...

    I like a little coffee with my cream...However I do try to limit the cream. But the real problem is the sugar. If my coffee or tea is not sweet enough; it is just not worth drinking...So I am also trying to teach my taste buds to enjoy the coffee/tea rather than a butt load of sugar.

    White tea, iced with 1 1/2 packets of Truvia mixed in while steeping. The ice has to be crushed! No bigger than a large marble/ :wink:

    yay white tea!

    haven't tried it iced yet though.

    Coffee - straight black (I drink it for the taste more than the caffeine - weird, I know haha)

    Hot Tea - straight (no cream, lemon, sugar, etc. - I look for good green tea flavors; I like to accommodate for taste)

    Iced Tea - unsweetened with splenda or artificial sweetener (1/2 packet - 2 packets depending on the size of the drink; occasionally with lemon if I'm at a restaurant and it comes with one in it already).

    BUT...I'm trying to drink a heck of a lot more water on a daily basis and cut down on my coffee intake...I don't typically drink iced tea unless I'm at a restaurant...and I'm trying to drink more (hot) green tea for the additional hydration and health benefits. :o)
