Weight Watchers Coffee Hacks – Complete Guide to Best WW Coffee Drinks (Low Points!)

Are you a WW member who loves coffee? Here are our Weight Watchers coffee recommendations, Starbucks Weight Watchers finds, our favorite Premier Protein coffee hack and more. Use these coffee recipes to get to your goal weight (while still enjoying your favorite morning beverage) with Personal Points.

How Many Points is Coffee on Weight Watchers?

Black coffee is zero points on WW. You can drink coffee without limit and without tracking it.

Does Coffee Count as Water on Weight Watchers?

No. You are welcome to enjoy coffee on WW Personal Points system but it does not count as water.

What is Candy Coffee?

When I’m coaching women on weight loss strategies, I call frou-frou coffee drinks “candy coffee” because many coffee shop drinks have as much sugar, fat, and calories as a candy bar. Keep this in mind when learning how to make healthier adjustments.

Ideally your goal should be not to consume any drinks with calories whenever possible. Your appetite doesn’t recognize calories from drinks as well as it does actual food, so it makes weight loss harder when you consume calories in liquid form.

Many people start the WW Personal Points program and are shocked to learn that their favorite coffee shop order or homemade afternoon pick-me-up beverage is 10, 15 or more Weight Watchers points. (As much as we love our coffee, when you only have around 20 points for the day, you don’t want to use half of them on one beverage, no matter how delicious.)

Does this mean you need to give up your love of coffee delights? No, it doesn’t! 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.

Best Low Point Coffee for Weight Watchers

Since black coffee is zero points, keep in mind that it’s what you add to your coffee that increases points. To lose weight, look for ways to reduce the calories, sugar, and fat in your favorite morning drink mixture.

Premier Protein – 2 pts per carton

Premier Protein 30g High Protein Shake, Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Banana and Caramel, 2 of each Flavor 11 Oz. With Bones of 10 Individually Wrapped Straws…

Premier Protein is the best creamer for Weight Watchers 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, latte and chocolate are also good.

You can get Premier Protein at wholesale places like Sam’s 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.

Top Sugar Free Syrup for Coffee on WW – 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 OzJordan’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 sweeteners.)

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.

Weight Watchers Coffee Creamers: 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, making this one of the few zero point coffee creamer options.

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 for the lowest points.

Point for creamer are the same on Personal Points and MyWW Green, Blue, and Purple plans.

Coffee Mate Italian Sweet Cream Weight Watchers Points (regular) – 2 points for 1 T

Coffee Mate Italian Sweet Cream Weight Watchers Points (sugar-free) – 0 points for 1 T (another great zero point creamer option!), 1 point for 2 T

Coffee Mate Vanilla creamer (regular) – 2 points for 1 T

Natural Bliss Caramel almond milk creamer – 2 points for 1 T

Mini Moos – Zero points

Land O Lakes Mini Moos Creamer Half and Half Cups 192 Count 54 fl oz (Pack May Vary), Individual Shelf-Stable Half and Half Pods for Coffee Tea Hot Chocolate, Made with Real Cream

Mini Moos, shelf stable half and half, are 0 points for one 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

Nut Pods is a half almond milk/half coconut milk non-dairy creamer, and they’ve recently released a creamer made with oat milk as well. Many people prefer it because it is all natural.

This creamer is Keto and Paleo friendly. Find Nut Pods on Amazon and in some local grocery stories.

This is my creamer of choice because it’s made without artificial sweeteners. Nutpods is slightly sweet and creamy, but not nearly as sweet as sugar-free creamers like Coffee Mate.

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.

Best Milk, Alternative Milks, and Half and Half for WW

Here are some good milk options to add to your coffee.

Skim milk – 1 point for 1/4 cup

Unsweetened Almond milk – 0 points for 1/2 cup, 1 point for 1 cup – and this froths well, too.

Fat Free Half & half – 1 point for 2 T

Half and half – 1 point for 1 T

Milk Frother

A hand-held frother is great for making your own cappuccinos and frappes. Use skim, almond, or coconut milk for the lowest points.

How to Make Your Own WW Frappe Recipe – 1 point
