Skim Milk VS. FF Half and Half

Reg · 09-14-2005, 11:37 AM

If you dont drink black coffee what do you put in your coffee?

What are the benefits of either SM or FFH&H?

You know, I have been meaning to try FF half and half. I usually like my coffee black, but occasionally I like some Davinci's syrup and cream. It makes a great cold morning wake-up or evening treat.

I don't know which is preferable, but I do know that even though I drink ff milk, I don't like it in coffee. I think it turns it a sickly grey color...ok, so I'm nuts!

I'll be interested to hear what those who have used the FF half & half have to say.

I bought myself FF H&H this week. I drink skim too, but it would never make my coffee light enough, and adding extra made my coffee cold. I do see that there is some sugar in there....but I'm not using that much.

I'll measure tomorrow

I dont think I'm using too much

The ff half & half seems to be an ok thing as far as Dr. A says but when I looked on the lable for the one at Trader Joe's it had sugar up front in the ingredients. So I us 1% milk when I want a change from black. The 1% doesn't make the coffee grey. You get a little richer flavor and the color is right. If I didn't have the diabetis 2 problem I would probably use the ff half & half but the sugar scared me. LOL

Does the Land'oLakes ff half and half have sugar in it too?

What about ff evaporated or dry powdered milk, wouldn't that work? I drink mine black but there are times when a smoother, richer version of milk is better.

Land O Lakes has sugar AND corn syrup solids added, artificial flavor and color.

We drink French Market coffee ( I really like the decaf version better than the regular) and serve it French Market style-- half coffee and half hot milk. It's delicious. Has anyone else ever tried coffee this way? Unfortunately, we have to leave off the beignets.

Hmmmm, guess he thought we would get much in 2T, bummer. Thanks tons! I haven't ever had that coffee, sounds delish!

I was wondering about this too. I like creamer in my coffee and I tried it w/the 2 TBSP of FF H&H and it just didn't taste good to me at all SIGH.

A serving size is 2T. I only used 1T today....but I'll have 2 cups
