Poll: Coffee Creamer

Ok guys & gals....I have to have my Hazelnut creamer...which is best for us nutritionally?

Sugar free?

Regular?

Fat free??

What do you all use?  I cant do milk because my gas will clear the room (lactose intolerance)...options??  Opinions?

neither. That are really chemicals.
I use Almond milk, unsweet. I add some stevia to taste.

I'm going to be honest I use both regular and sugar free just depends on what's in stock(flavors) and the amount of sugar in a serving(regular).  I think it is all fat free???

 No, it is not all fat free.  The regular has 1.5 grams of fat per tablespoon, and 5 grams of sugar.  Most likely you're using more than a tablespoon.

If you want to avoid sugar, go for sugar-free, but it will still have the fat.. and that may be ok for you.

The thing that should be avoided here is the fact that these creamers are made with partially hydrogenated oils:



Now, if you choose fat-free, they must be basically watering down the partially hydrogenated oils since its still in the ingredients, but there's asterisks that say "adds a trivial amount of fat"



I also find it interesting how the sugar free has "corn syrup solids" in it.



As I have progressed further from surgery I've figured out I don't like these in my coffee anymore and just drink half & half with no sweeteners.  Or else I drink Click with some sugar free syrups added.  This for me is the best way to get a great tasting mocha or latte type drink without drinking the non-dairy creamers.

Use a good vanilla protein powder and some SF Hazelnut syrup. Yummy.

light vanilla soy milk...yum yum
or light regular soy and a squirt of a SF torani syrup

I have a hard time w/ regular milk and/or creamer, soy milk makes me sick and I have found that the sugar free/fat free creamer is too sweet for me. I use plain almond milk and will add Stevia to sweeten it if needed. On occasion I also mix protein shake w/ the coffee.

I use creamer it is my crack... I have gotten away from almost all processed or "BAD" foods but this is one I cant seem to give up. I have tried all the suggestions but keep coming back to that sweet creamy cup of chemicals. I use the sugarfree the others make me dump.

Same here.  I have cut back on everything.  Got to have some pleasure in life.  Coffee, Sweet-N-Low with plain ol' creamer...YEAH!!!!   Even Half n Half!!!!  YEAH YEAH!!!

I'm just like you.  I practically mainlined SF French Vanilla creamer.  Now I make a protein powder creamer in the morning and use it all day.  I use water, Nectar Vanilla bean powder, SF Fr Vanilla Creamer and vanilla extract.  I get protein and my creamer fix every day.
