That non-dairy cream is full of crap. Sweet N Low is fine but if you need cream go with half n half or light cream or heavy cream, don't use that powdered stuff.

Sweetnlow is fine. Better off using halfnhalf or heavy cream. Stay away from the "powdered" stuff. Nothing good in there, at all.

Yep the powdered non-dairy creamer is full of aluminum amongst some other crap.

How about the flavored liquid coffee cream thats in the dairy section.

I don't know if it's the stuff your talking about, but my mom buys flavored creamer stuff, I think it's coffe mate by nestle - and I know it has partially hydrogenated oil as one of the main ingredients.

thats the stuff I'm talking about. I guess I go with flavored coffee and light cream.

Yeah that flavored cream is full of sugar too. I know it tastes so good but its bad.

i just use 1% milk and low calorie sweetner
it's obviously not the same as cream and sugar but it still tastes fine to me
how is coffee in general? i pretty much only grab a coffee when i feel the need for a wake up at work... which is usually anywhere from 2-4 times a week... is that ok?
i know some people who drink 4 cups a day... that's just ridiculous... i don't want to develop a dependence on caffeine to "feel good"

I think a cup a day is ok, I am doing 2 lately.

I use 1% milk and just a touch of honey.

It may sound weird, I hate coffee and don't drink it but I did try it once with vanilla protein powder mixed in and it tasted a lot better to me. Though the heat probably ruins it.

I was actually wondering about that. Could you make a "hot chocolate" from protein powder & hot water. Would the protein still be as good
Posted by: Jodi
I think coffee is fine.

I tried the hot chocolate thing & it was the worst thing I ever tasted so don't bother trying it.
I know it tastes so good 
but its bad.
Glad you decided to be a lab rat!
