BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Coffee Black Coffee?

Love my french vanilla cream! But now since on a low fat diet for awhile, doing the fat free, french vanilla creamer but it is better than the alternative!

I have a good friend who loves her coffee black. No sweetener, no creamer.... just black! I wish I could do that!!!

I LOVE the flavored coffee creamers, but once I found out the majority of them are made with hydrogenated oils - which store themselves in your arteries I tried experimenting with different creamers.

I tried the pure dairy - lots of fat - but at least it's fat your body can process. Way better than hydrogenated!!! But, they make me feel bloated.

I like the soy coffee creamer - nice and rich. Lots of carbs though.

And I like the coconut milk coffee creamer. The plain is not bad on the carbs. And sometimes I'll sweeten with coconut sugar as a treat.

Of course this morning, being rather grumpy, I just dumped some chocolate in my coffee LOL!!!

It's not too bad though - It's the Starbucks Mocha - with just 6gs of sugar per serving

Hi Deanna:

I never heard of coconut milk coffee creamer and I was born in Jamaica, West Indies where we have coconut trees all over our island.

And coconut sugar???

Where did you find these items...

Thanks,

They carry the coconut creamer in a couple of our grocery stores - and the health food store.

My mom brought me the coconut sugar - but I'm pretty sure they carry it at health food stores too.

I'm very frugal with it - because I'm sure it's got to be twice the price of regular sugar LOL. But it tastes more like brown sugar - so yum!

Hey, we have to TREAT ourselves sometimes. I will look the next time I am out. Thanks for the info

Sitting here drinking my coffee...looks down at cup...winces...lol

Dang it just tastes sooooo good though

Oh, why did I have to read that? I've always just considered the calories and figured it was worth it :-(

The saddest time of the year for me is when my carefully stashed Pumpkin Spice runs out until November or so when they start stocking it again. That usually happens in May. My kids no longer are surprised when I buy 10 creamers at a time...gotta get it while they have it!

Ha Ha That made me crack up! I empathize for you~

I drink my coffee with coconut milk and raw honey. I typically vary the kinds of herbs I add to my coffee but it is usually a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, real vanilla and clove. I use a dark roast for lower acidity and whether people drink it black or regular it's a hit.
