Hi Joe,
You can use Stevia as a sweetener. It's naturally derived from a plant with little interference from man. I know what you mean about those "blended" coffee drinks. When I go to Starbucks, and look at those Frappucino's, I realize that I've come a long way in the LC world!
I count espresso or coffee as 1 carb, but it is a bit lower - around .8.
I would use cold espresso or instant espresso blended with ice, water and sweetener. Then blend in cream briefly at the end because over whipping will turn it to butter. Try it without sweetener and see if you like it.
If you use it as a rare treat, a bit of artificial sweetener is probably OK. You know what your limits are when it comes to sweets. Just think of all the poisonous sugar you used to eat!
