Check out these Weight Watchers Coffee Hacks to learn how you can cut the calories and reduce the points, all while enjoying your favorite beverage.

7 Tips Every Weight Watchers Member Should Know
Weight Watchers Coffee Hacks
Premier Protein – 2 pts per carton
Premier Protein is my absolute favorite Weight Watchers coffee hack because there is so much you can do with it. Premier Protein is just 2 points for a whole carton, and you only need anywhere from a couple tablespoons to 1/3 of a carton to make a cup of coffee taste like a real treat. Enjoy it hot or serve cold over ice for a frappe-like delight.
I personally love caramel flavor the most in coffee, but vanilla and chocolate are also good.
You can get Premier Protein at wholesale places like Sams and Costco. It’s available at Walmart in the Pharmacy section. Walmart also now has a Great Value brand available that is cheaper and the points are the same. Premier Protein
is also available on Amazon.
Sugar Free Syrup – Zero Points
Torani Sugar Free Syrup Variety Pack for coffee, 25.4 Ounce (Pack of 4) one each of Sugar free: Vanilla, Caramel, Hazelnut and ChocolateTorani Sugar Free Syrup Variety Pack, 25.4 Ounce (Pack of 4)
Starbucks Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup 12 FL Oz
Jordan’s Skinny Syrups Sugar-Free, Mocha, 25.4 Ounce
If you need a bit of sweetness in your coffee without added sugar, these sugar-free syrups cannot be beat. (These do contain artificial sweetners.) I’ve tried Torani, Jordan’s, and Starbucks and all are equally good. I find these at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and sometimes Walmart. The best place to find a wide variety is to order on Amazon.
Tip: Be sure you purchase the sugar-free variety. Full-sugar syrups are quite high in points.
Sugar Free Creamers – 0 – 1 point
Nestle Coffee-Mate Coffee Creamer Sugar Free Creamy Chocolate, Pack of 1 (10.2 Ounce)NESTLE COFFEE-MATE Coffee Creamer, Sugar Free French Vanilla, liquid creamer singles, 50 count
Sugar free powdered coffee creamers are widely available and are 0 points for 4 tsp.
Sugar free liquid creamers (found in the dairy section of your local grocery store) are typically 2 T – 1 point, although take care because it’s easy to pour much more than 2 T and the points can add up quickly. These are now available in a wide variety of flavors. Be sure you are grabbing the sugar-free variety.
Mini Moos – Zero points
Mini Moos, shelf stable half and half, are 0 points for one little mini cup size serving. Be sure to watch portion size as these do have points if you use more than one.
Nut Pods 2 T – 0 points
nutpods Hazelnut Dairy-Free Creamer (4-pack) Unsweetened Whole30/Paleo/Keto/Vegannutpods Original 4-Pack, Unsweetened Dairy-Free Creamer, Whole30, Paleo, Keto, Non-GMO and Vegan, for Coffee, Tea and Cooking, Made from Almond and Coconut
Nut Pods is a half almond milk/half coconut milk non-dairy creamer. Many people prefer it because it is all natural. This creamer is Keto and Paleo friendly. Find Nut Pods
on Amazon.
Extracts and Flavored Coffee – 0 points

Remember that using coffee that is already flavored does not add any additional points, and the same is true for using extract.
Only use a tiny bit of extract or it can turn your coffee bitter.
Milk Frother
An
A hand-held frother
is great for making your own cappuccinos and frappes. Use skim, almond, or coconut milk for the lowest points.
Make Your Own Frappe Recipe – 1 point
Here is a simple recipe to make your own frappe.
1/2 cup almond milk
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp instant coffee
1 scoop Quest Salted Caramel protein powder
Mix milk with protein powder. Mix water with instant coffee. Mix the two mixtures together. Serve and enjoy.

For those of us (me), who don’t use fat-free and sugar-free products and premier, drinking coffee has become a real point issue. When sugar-free products are taken out of the equation, it leaves water., which can get old in the long run. Just my two cents
Felice, thanks for your comment. If you don’t do artificial sweetners, it does make things a bit more limited but totally do-able. Have you tried Nutpods (mentioned in blog post). That’s one of the main alternatives I see people use who do only whole foods. Blessings!
