What do you put in your coffee to make it sweet?

[disneychrista]

Silk Soy Vanilla Creamer.

If you are drinking good quality, strong coffee there is no need to ruin it with sugar.

 

[im4pacers1]

I use sugar free French vanilla flavored Torani syrup

I got rid of all artificial sweeteners and bad fats (dairy) and fake dairy in my tea and coffee by slowly decreasing the amounts I put in. It was pretty easy to cut out the dairy and fake dairy once I got down to 1/4 of the original amount. I replaced the artificial sweetener with plain old sugar, using a tiny spoon in the sugar bowl. I put less than a quarter of a teaspoon (maybe just an eighth now) in to cut the bitterness.

I'm the same way, love my flavored creamers. But I don't buy them at all anymore, and I'm another one that's converted to Caramel Premier Protein.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

2 packs of Splenda.

 

[RangerPooh]

I use to use white chocolate syrup but switched it for Caramel Premiere Protein drink. Not quite as rich, but better for me.

Can't tolerate artificial sweeteners or sugar free syrups as they don't sit well with me and are one of my migraine triggers.

I don’t use any sugar. I weaned myself off of that right out of college when I started working and drinking a lot of coffee. I used to use whatever milk or creamer was on hand at the office. Now I use unsweetened almond or cashew milk. If I am hungry and trying not to snack I will use half and half as the fat in that will tide me over to the next meal.

 

[Summer2018]

sugar and normal cream; nothing flavored.

Like your idea of whipped cream, tho, Micca. Might try that sometime.

I have used whipped cream when I was out if half and half...not bad.

 

[mousefanmichelle]

I used to use 5 sugar packets and 4 half and half creamer cups in my coffee. I liked it candy bar sweet! Now I just use 1-2 tblspns of Italian Sweet Cream creamer. I only drink about 1/2 cup of coffee a day. I tried the premier protein in my coffee but i detest the artificial sweetner taste and I can pick it out in everything!

 

[pryncess527]

Sugar and a splash of whole milk

 

[soccerdad72]

Splenda, usually - although I'll use Sweet and Low or Equal if that's what is available.

 

[nene0182]

Chocolate or caramel premiere protein

 

[Kaleidodad]

When the wife got into "clean eating" a number of years ago, and we had to cut out bleached/processed food including white sugar, we switched to maple syrup (the pure/natural/organic stuff, not Aunt Jemima) and have been hooked ever since. We are like Buddy the Elf, with a jar of syrup up our sleeves wherever we go! Good quality syrup really doesn't taste that maple-y, with a much smoother sweetness than regular sugar, and the syrup dissolves more evenly than crystals.

I had to google this since I hadn't heard of them. Are these shakes? And do you just add a little of the shake to replace the creamer/sugar?
I might have to try this

I used to use artificial sweeteners, but my doctor said they're actually worse for you than a little bit of sugar.

I have two mugs of coffee in the morning. My first mug has Caramel Macchiato creamer, the second is plain (no sweetener).

If I have a flavored Keurig cup of coffee in the afternoon it has 1 teaspoon of real sugar, and creamer.

 

[Minnesota!]

I used to be full-on sugar and milk. Or at least a fancy, super sweet creamer.

I started decreasing it and now I take 1 tsp of half and half in my coffee. Sweet coffee tastes gross to me now.

I like my coffee light and very sweet and am hooked on artificially flavored coffee creamers (the flavored kind). I'd love to kick the habit without sacrificing too much taste. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I'm not the only freak who does the below. Not many people are into this but, in case you are, I'll share.

Most often I make my own coffee cream with a can of Native Forest organic coconut milk, an egg, a tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Put the ingredients in a blender (blend very well) then store in the refrigerator. All good healthy fats for our bodies I use a hefty tablespoon in a cup of coffee. Once you get used to it, it tastes very much like having whipped cream in the coffee, flavorful and satisfying! In Arizona, I can buy raw cream which sometimes I'll do just for the purpose of putting it in my coffee. I love cream, unfortunately, it's an inflammatory for me (even raw) so most often have to avoid it--but I do give in for a treat! Also have to avoid soy since it's a hormone disruptor

If your objective is to eventually ween off sugar, keep the following in mind. Artificial sweeteners of all kinds come with their own repercussions (aspartame, NutraSweet, Splenda, sucralose, and sugar alcohols—any word that ends with “ol,” like xylitol or sorbitol). Stevia may be better than aspartame, but make sure you use only whole plant extract and stay away from PureVia and Truvia because they are only chemical extracts of stevia. Use it sparingly too. I once had monkfruit in my coffee which was gag-worthy disgusting!! Even though it's from a fruit that’s rich in antioxidants it should be used in small amounts since any sweetener can make you hungry, lower your metabolism, create gas, and store belly fat...yadda yadda yadda.

Good luck and I hope you can still enjoy your coffee!

What kind of eggs do you buy? No raw egg issues?

 

[clh2]

I make my own sweetened/flavored creamer. I use 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp double-strength vanilla, and then I fill up the 12 oz container with 1% milk. Lasts about 2 weeks for me!

I am able to pronounce all the labeled ingredients. (In comparison to other flavored creamers I used to purchase where I could not!)
