How bad is milk in coffee in the morning? What do you gain by substituting with almond milk?

There's no artificial sweeteners - checked my regular strawberry and it only says "non-GMO fructose" and stevia.


Yup - Stevia is an artificial sweetener. With a nasty aftertaste.

The Vega kind has Stevia too.

They should just skip all sweeteners.

Stevia is actually a natural sweetener. My neighbors grew Stevia plants for a while. If you chew on their leaves, they are very sweet, with an odd chemical aftertaste.


Ok - let's call it a nasty sugar substitute with a bad aftertaste. Still not desirable!

2 packets of chocolate pro cal. You can eat it as a shake or pudding. As far as I know, you can only buy them online. I eat one of two every day, usually mixed with coffee. Each packet has 100 calories and 15 grams of protein and I like the taste.

Great breakfast: coffee plus almond milk, Greek yogurt plus English toffee stevia drops.

+1, I can't stand stevia! It leaves an awful coating in my mouth and makes everything else taste bad as well.

I like chocolate chip Quest bars. I keep them in my office in case I have a long meeting and can't get to my lunch. It really holds me over. I would not recommend this for every day though.

I know this was not your question, but if you cook dinner, and have to put everything away. Why not just put a serving of dinner in a container so it is ready to go the next morning?

The VegaOne is plant based. It's expensive, but it has been holding me over all morning. I'm using it as a replacement for breakfast.

Feel free to flag it for Jeff and suggest moving it to wherever you think it's more appropriate, but weight loss questions seem to be equally split between Health & Medicine and Sports & Fitness. It's an imperfect system.
