How to get used to the taste of black coffee?!


Question: How to get used to the taste of black coffee?
I hate having to put down 70 calories for every cup of coffee I drink. But right now, I hate the taste of coffee without all the trimmings. I'm currently drinking a cup of coffee with cream and no sugar and it hard not to gag. How can I get used to it with no cream at all? I once discovered that if I put just cocoa powder and sweetener in it, it tastes bearable without any milk but we're out of both cocoa powder and sweetener, and we're not going to be getting more anytime soon, so how can I get used to coffee like this? I refuse to give up coffee but it takes me like ten minutes to drink one glass. That's fine on weekends, but on school mornings when I have to be out of the house or be late, I just can't do that. Help?

There are ways to flavor your coffee without adding 70 calories. 1 teaspoon of sugar has only 15 calories, and 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon (you wouldn't even want to use that much) has only 17 calories. Then there's Splenda, a sugar substitute that has 0 calories. Splenda also has a 0-calorie coffee sweetener that comes in 3 flavors, Vanilla, Mocha, and Hazelnut, so you'd be getting sweetener and flavoring with no calories added. They're convenient because they're packets that you can carry with you, so you can use them when you're out. International Delight sells "skinny" versions of their coffee creamers. They're liquid, so they'll add a bit of creaminess to your coffee, and are 30 calories per Tablespoon. They come in caramel and vanilla. These have to be refrigerated, so they're not as convenient. As for getting used to black coffee, you have to do just that, get used to it. Gradually cut back on what you add to it, and try to acquire a taste for it. You may never like it, but at least there are low or zero calorie options.



Drink green coffee it tastes the same as normal coffee and it is actually good for you. It's high in antioxidants, lowers blood pressure, speeds up your metabolism, makes you age less and makes you loose weight. So yeah I hope that helps.



start drinking milky coffee with sugar, slowly wean yourself off of sugar and milk by reducing the amount per cup slowly you will get used to it like anything. just make sure that you do it slowly so you get more and more used to it.



Just go out and buy cream and sugar.
