Finally cut out coffee creamer!



Recommended Posts

I was logging my food and realized a larger amount of my calories came from coffee creamer than I realized. I've now switched to adding Atkins mocha latte shake to my coffee. Its not bad but pricey since I need half the shake.

Does anyone else have any good suggestions/proteins/recipes? I love starting my day with some coffee but dont want all the calories

Were you using a coffee creamer of half and half? I use half and half, 40 calories 3x a day isn't a big deal.

I use full-fat half & half in my coffee...

If you're into flavoring, there's Torani sugar-free syrups. They come in flavors such as caramel, raspberry, etc, and can be used in coffee, tea, yogurt, and so forth.

Dear Lord - I love those Torani flavors and they ship fast. I use them for so many things. I make an iced coffee frappucino some mornings with cold brew coffee, Sugar Free Chocolate and caramel syrups, a scoop of Protein Powder and ice. There you have it - 26 grams of Protein and about 110 calories. I use them in my shakes, in coffee drinks, everything.

Think about coconut milk - I prefer the taste to that of almond or soy and it's 45 calories in a cup.

I drink my coffee black for the most part. Good luck finding a combo that works right for your tastebuds!

I just went and ordered the caramel, chocolate, and pumpkin spice! Thanks for the recommendation.

I've tried using half and half...it's ok if I'm visiting someone for a weekend but not daily.

Oh that's a good idea! I've seen them at World Market but never tried them. maybe I'll add some milk to make it creamy and get a little Protein. Thanks!

I found this chocolate coffee creamer that is sugar free and low in carbs & cals. Let me see what the name is and I will let you know. I had my first cup of coffee this morning with just the powdered Creamer and not one spoon of sugar and it almost tasted like a dark chocolate piece of coffee lol
