My first through was .. why wouldn’t you just use cream?

If it’s a lactose issue there lactose free half and half and whipping cream.

Ha, I have bad news for you. If it's fat free, it ain't half and half.

This! I find half and half to be SO much more satisfying than regular milk and don’t even want to add sugar when I add it. You can also add just a splash and it’s plenty.

Use half and half.

I just use a little bit of cream every day no sugar. Don’t buy any of that flavored crap way worse for you. Real C.R.E.A.M. has a very rich taste.

Looks like giant, whole foods and cvs carry Calfia products - are any of them less horrible than amazon?

PP here: Streets, or at least the one near me in Columbia Heights/U Street, carries this Calfia product specifically so I often buy it there. They used to have it at Whole Foods and they still have other Calfia items but they haven't had this one in a while.

My Trash Panda app likes Chobani the best.

If you're not familiar with the app, you scan a product's barcode, and it tells you how clean the item is the questionable and problematic ingredients.

Whole milk

My way to cut back on sugar in my coffee, which has worked for a few years now, is to have the first cup--the cup that you really taste--as you like and then go sugarless for subsequent cups when you are just sloshing them down and no longer paying attention to the flavor.

That is basically corn syrup and skim milk. In addition to being gross, it isn't what OP is looking for.

Either half and half, whole milk, or Elmhurst walnut or cashew milk.

I would not use cream/heavy cream. Not only is it very high in saturated fat, it’s very calorie dense. If you are going to have more than one cup of coffee that adds up x every day.

I was the same but just went cold turkey on the creamer and only used whole milk. I do drink flavored coffee so there is vanilla or caramel or pistachio or whatever essence. I missed it for a little bit but now don't ever want sweet coffee anymore.

Oat milk and a little bit of maple syrup (the real stuff not the fake crap)
