Coffee creamer alternatives
Are you a coffee drinker? It's an acquired taste I just never picked up. My coffee maker sat on the top shelf of my closet for years and years on the off chance that someone might stay over and want coffee. Finally, this summer I dusted the machine off and gave it away on Freecycle. If you're more of a coffee drinker than I am, you might appreciate these coffee suggestions from HealthCastle.Cream or creamers can have anywhere from 40-90 calories. In addition, some contain saturated fat and/or trans fat. Try these alternatives:
- Use skim milk in your coffee -- two tablespoons only adds 10 calories.
- For a creamier alternative, try fat-free evaporated milk.
- Soy creamer is a vegetarian alternative; for less fat and calories try soy milk.

I put a scoop of protein powder, a teaspoon creatine and whipped topping in mine and drink it a half hour before I work out.
