Good mooooorning!! I recently made a big switch in my morning routine and wanted to share it with you girls. We have a trip to Hawaii coming up in a few months (praying we don’t have to cancel due to covid), and it’s time to prep and get back on the fitness train. I have been working out more and looking for ways to cut back on my sugar intake. One of the most unhealthy items I was drinking daily was a vanilla chai that has 36g of sugar! That is basically a can of coke every morning… holy cow! So, I’ve been experimenting with different coffee combinations to try and find one I like, that is still creamy and sweet, but with wayyyy less sugar!
My Low Sugar Coffee Recipe
Coffee / Vanilla Collagen Creamer / Monkfruit / Coconut Beverage (from Costco)
To put it together, I first use regular hot coffee. Jeff makes a big pot in the morning and I just use what is left in there, roughly one cup. Add that hot to a cup and mix in one scoop of the collagen creamer and a spoonful the monkfruit. It mixes best into hot liquids. Once that is mixed, I fill it the rest of the way with the cold coconut beverage from the fridge. Let it sit for a minute to cool down before adding ice cubes to prevent melting. Enjoy with a straw!
This coffee only has 126 calories and under 4 grams of sugars!
A few notes:
I did make this with almond milk the first few times and it was still good if you prefer that. However, I do find the coconut to be way more creamy.
Also, I did not notice a difference in taste when I made it with two scoops (which is a full serving) of collagen creamer compared to one scoop, which is why I decided to stick with only one scoop.
Let me know below if you try this low sugar coffee recipe and what you think!!
