A week or so ago I started a discussion about finding a coffee creamer alternative because they were causing a mess in my tummy. Well upon a smart friend mentioning that they don't have dairy and that perhaps it's the sugar, I tried something different. I used the sugar-free french vanilla flavored creamer and used splenda instead of sugar. That did the trick, now I can enjoy my coffee without having an upset tummy afterwards.
Also I got a free sample in the mail from Folgers, from their new gourmet line. The flavor is Vanilla Biscotti. Well I had that with my creamer mentioned above and it is sooooooooooo good. Better than Starbucks! It has a naturally sweet taste so you don't need much sweetener. I like my coffee really sweet if I'm having an iced coffee latte and when I made mine this afternoon all I had to add was like a tsp of splenda and the flavor is so rich yet light. Love it!

No way G....BETTER than Starbucks?? I dont believe that! lol I love starbucks, I cant hardly drink anything else. I also must have Coffee-Mate creamer, and "real" sugar.
Ive tried Splenda, and it tastes good at first, but then it starts to leave this awful taste in my mouth when I use it. I bought a whole pound bag of it and 1/4 of the way through I had to give it to my friend who loves it. I just couldnt use it anymore. Ive also tried to use low fat, fat free, sugar free, any kind of liquid creamer there is, and I just dont like it. Its gotta be powder. Im so particular. lol
I have had to cut down my coffee intake since it too makes my tummy upset. I can tolerate about 2 cups then I have to stop. Luckily they are larger than normal cups! lol I really love coffee in the mornings, and sometimes in the evenings.

It was totally better! Mainly because it's got this really light yet very there taste, it doesn't taste like coffee really more like a treat. Starbucks is so strong, which is how I like it but it always messes with my tummy.
I don't like the powder ones at all, lol. I've got to have the liquid creamer. I normally don't like the sugar free ones but it went great with that coffee.

Haha I liked how you put that G, me and you would be good coffee buddies, just how I like mine, tasting like a treat! Probably why I can only drink a few of them each day.
When my sister comes for a visit I buy the creamer she likes which is Coffee-Mate French Vanilla. Doesnt have to be fat free, but thats all she puts in it, I must add my sugar. Ill of course use it up once she goes back home, but after that I go right back to my powder Cofee-Mate.
