Lighter Cream Cheese
Lighter Cream Cheese is a soft, mild, tangy dairy spread that is commonly used on bagels, toast, crackers, and in dips or desserts. It has the creamy texture people expect from cream cheese, but in a lighter style that makes it a bit easier to spread and use in everyday cooking. Nutritionally, it provides some protein, with 8.1g per 100g, along with vitamin A and other milk-derived nutrients. It is still fairly rich, so a little goes a long way. Compared with regular cream cheese, this lighter version is a somewhat better choice, but it is still a processed, energy-dense spread. The main thing to watch is its saturated fat content if you use it often.
