Cinnamon Hazelnut

[fursaflyin 10]

Hello everyone I am new to ww and new to the group. I was looking forward to jumping onto this forum this morning when I woke up. I am having a really hard time giving up my 1 cup of coffee in the morning. It's really not the coffee itself but it is the Iternational Delight Cinnamon Hazelnut cream that goes into the coffee. Exactly 6 (six) Tablespoons is what it takes to get it just right. That costs me 6 six points and some mornings I am okay without it but other mornings I crave and think about it all day untill I say " Oh my gosh I might as well have it and get it over with" Some days I'll drop it down to a half a cup. What is the addiction here and how can I get a handle on it? Anybody else struggling with something similar?

Thanks

I use a liter beer stein for coffee and my morning cup used to be 10 points.

 

Now I use Davici Syrup, Sugar free There are all kinds of flavors Hazelnut is one....

I still add a point for milk but i went from 10 down to one and it still tastes great.

Great, I'll try that. Any idea where I could get it? I am in the Knoxville TN area. Would a health food store have it?

You can buy them direct online at http://www.davincigourmet.com and many other online sites. Some SuperWalmarts, Krogers and Albertsons have one or two flavors in the coffee aisle. TJMaxx and Marshalls sometimes carry a limited selection as well. Cost Plus World Market carry the Torani brand which is just as good IMO but doesn't have as many flavors. Some coffee houses and "lo-carb" stores carry them as well, but generally I've found them to be more expensive than buying online even with shipping.

I had the same problem, I just could not even imagine my coffee without my hazelnut cream. I have finally found a solution to this problem, I have started buying flavored coffee, I have a kroger and the kroger brand coffee is the one I am using now, they have all kinds of yummy flavors. Right now, I am on a chocalate rasberry kick. I use the fat free plain ole creamer and splenda, and I get my flavor from the coffee itself. Try that and see if it helps!

Does International Delight have fat-free versions of the flavored creamer that you could switch to? I know Coffeemate does (french vanilla, hazelnut, and maybe one or two others).

Hi there my name is bigmamma it is a nickname. I had the same problem with a hot drink called frothy it was made by nestle and i had 2 a day anad i really miss it and the dicontinued it, I use to put the french vanilla creamer in it. I am having a bad time to the creamer is 2 points anad i used about 2 tablespoons in my coffee, so i know exactly what you ate talking about. It is very hard when you give something up you enjoy. Good luck. I just started ww. I weight in on Tues. Wish me luc... Have a great day.

International Delights makes fat free flavored creamers- I use the French Vanilla which is 1 point per 1 tablespoon serving. They might make a fat free version of the Cinnamon Hazelnut. Splenda has a new product out- flavor blends. Zero fat, zero calories and they make it in Hazelnut (sprinkle regular cinnamon to get the part that's missing?). I just bought a box but haven't used it yet so I can't vouch for how it tastes but I expect it to be good. As for flavored ground coffees- I see these in most grocery stores these days. Twenty years ago I used to put vanilla extract in my ground coffee to get the flavor- if cinnamon and/or hazelnut comes in an extract, you could try that.

I am in Knoxville too. Hiya. World Market in Turkey Creek carries a Sugar Free Hazelnut Syurp. It is Torani (something like that) brand. I love it. You could use that and put some cinnamon in your coffee grounds and it should be really good.

Hi, I am also in Knoxville. I have found the DaVinci syrups at Super Walmart and Kroger.

[Sharon Fiedler 10]

Hi. It is so cool all the Knoxville people. Do y'all go to the Cedar Bluff WW?

[Guest Mydnite_Gypsy]

Hey guys. I have never tried them, but thanks for the idea!
