Coffee?
At the coffee shops, I do FF/SF hazelnut lattes most often - at Caribou, they call it a "Northern Lights" latte (I "moose" mine there - extra shot of espresso!)
Otherwise, i just drink my coffee with one of the SF International Delights or Coffeemate creamers!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
While I'm not supposed to have caffine, I do have a warm Click protein drink 5 or so days a week. It has esspresso in it = to the caffine in one cup of coffee. I figure that can't be TOO bad, plus when I make it with skim, it gives me 23g of protein.
The "skinny latte" from Starbucks or Northern Light flavored lattes at Caribou are ok, but unlike Darla, I can tell the difference big time. Maybe I just need to ask them to add a little extra SF syrup ?

I am a coffee girl as well - but most docs don't recommend a ton of caffiene - so remember to drink more water throughout the day to take care of the dehydrating effect of the caffiene.
I also mix chocolate protein shake with my coffee in the a.m. for a mocha or vanilla protein shake with SF syrup for a latte.
My favorite drink is the Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Startbucks. I do not do de-caf but I do drink a ton of water through out the day to offset my coffee intake.
I also enjoy the Click protein powder in my coffee. I add 8oz of milk with one scoop of click and then I use about 4oz of that mix in my coffee. Its just like a latte. Yummy. Matter of fact I'm drinking some right now.
Wishing you the best on finding something that works for you.
