Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

I've seen fat free half and half...have you tried that?

I used to only use creamer, but I switched to skim milk. Before I made the full switch, I would put in about half the creamer that I used to and use half skim milk...so I'd get a little of each

I love it light and sweet with half and half! I don't eat artificial sweeteners and milk/skim just doesn't cut it for me! I really can't compromise, I just drink a smaller cupChat Icon

Vanilla soy milk or almond milk is great if you want a little flavor. I'll even use chocolate soy sometimes. Try using half one of those, and half milk to "ween" yourself off the creamer. For someone like me who drinks a lot of coffee, it made a big difference in my diet.

Just a heads up the fat-free creamers are packed with sugar and chemicals, I always steer clear.

I use 2 T of half and half if it's flavored coffee or the SF Vanilla coffeemate if it's unflavored.

Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

I like it half and half one Splenda.

I need the half and half though. I can deal with Equal, Sugar, Nutrasweet etc but I have to have the half and half.

Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

I found sugar free french vanilla coffeemate powder. Its low in carbs and it gives the coffee a creamy taste. If I run out of that or I have coffee out somewhere I use half and half or heavy cream without any sugar or sweetner.

I can't stand regular milk especially milk in my coffee YUCK!

half & half and one sugar.

I would rather have the real half & half than the fat free with the hydrogenated stuff in in.

I only use a little anyway.

Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

The one thing that I haven't given up is my morning coffee with flavored creamer (either Amaretto or Vanilla). I tried the "fat free" versions and all I can say is eeewww! Definitley not the same.

Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

For the girls that can't give up the flavored creamer, look in the grocery store for a powdered version by coffeemate. I swear the powder makes it taste creamy and it shaves a lot of calories off. Some even come in fat free or sugar free versions.

This is a good weaning technique. I usually keep both in my fridge but always end up using just the creamer. Chat Icon

Re: Coffee creamer and dieting, how do you like your coffee?

It's really hard to find sometimes but I use Low-Fat Half and Half. It's a nice compromise because full fat is too much and no fat doesn't taste great to me.

I don't have suggestions on the flavoring though, sorry! Chat Icon
