Use that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678176 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:35:10 +0000 shabang 2678176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like brewing my coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon mixed in. Or, Trader Joes has coffee mixed with unsweetened cocoa that's delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678170 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:31:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pajamas: haha I just wasn't sure if you were doing a dairy-free bullet proof coffee thing or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678165 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:29:32 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2678165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine of course eat breakfast despite a bit of oil in your coffee! It's probably the same amount of calories as half and half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678153 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:23:58 +0000 lioneyes 2678153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>califia farms almond milk (the only brand that i like) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678150 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:22:58 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pajamas: so I've done that before and it's totally yummy but I also like to eat breakfast and I'm not sure if I'm "supposed" to skip when I do that...do eat breakfast with it too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678149 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:22:30 +0000 MrsSRS 2678149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the SoDelicious coconut milk coffee creamer. It has the texture of half and half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678145 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:17:04 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2678145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut oil! So delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678119 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:46:13 +0000 skipra 2678119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: it's not in all our grocery stores unfortunately so you might have to look around. The protein is pea protein which someone else mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678099 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:35:41 +0000 cascademom 2678099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: The coconut creamer is really smooth. Starbucks now offers almond milk, but I still go for coconut milk because it maintains its texture against the coffee. I see why they offered that first before almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678094 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:33:36 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: I haven't seen that one. I'll look into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678093 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:33:21 +0000 cascademom 2678093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Orgain has a non dairy protein shake mix I use. It's made from peas. I like it for the protein without dairy or soy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678092 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:33:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I don't mind almond milk, it's just not as creamy as I'd like! </p> <p>@Mamaof2: I haven't tried that one! I tried a vanilla almond milk creamer that was a little too sweet for my taste but I'll try the coconut one! </p> <p>I'm really missing the thick and creamy texture of regular dairy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678089 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:32:03 +0000 skipra 2678089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried the Silk almond/cashew milk +protein? It is so much creamier and is only very lightly sweetened. I hate coconut flavor so this is the only thing I'll use in my coffee while I can't have dairy.</p> <p>ETA I think they just call it nutmilk + protein </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678087 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:31:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend used a protein shake but most of those are dairy based. I'm adjusting to the flavor of almond milk (does taste nutty). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678086 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:30:12 +0000 Boogs 2678086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it, but I hear lots of good stuff about coconut milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678083 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:29:25 +0000 YogiRunner 2678083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut milk creamer! SoDelicious has flavored varieties if you're feeling fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678081 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:29:11 +0000 cascademom 2678081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I use the same creamer and love it. I've been dairy free basically since DS #2's pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678076 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:25:28 +0000 Mamaof2 2678076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried the So Delicious coconut milk creamer? That's what I used when dairy free and really liked it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-free-ways-to-spruce-up-your-coffee#post-2678073 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:23:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take my coffee with no sweetener and a splash of half and half but my doctor told me to stay off dairy for a few months and let me tell ya, milk alternatives are just not quite creamy enough. I always feel a little sad that I'm just not enjoying my coffee quite as much as usual. Anyone have any suggestions? </p>
