Today’s interval treadmill workout lasted 40 minutes and didn’t include too much running (18 minutes total), but whenever I pair running with crazy-fast incline walking, a red and sweaty face will almost always be the end result.
The 40 minutes I spent on the treadmill kicked off my workout for the day and I rounded out my time at the gym with a core circuit from the Best Body Boot Camp plan I am following. Burnin’ abs!
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was sweet ‘n’ salty. Perfecto!
I made myself an egg bagelwich with strawberry jelly and Alouette Portions original soft cheese.
The cheese reminds me a lot of cream cheese. It’s incredibly creamy!
The company sent me the spreadable cheese to try several weeks ago and it has become a staple in my morning and afternoon snacks. The Italian herb cheese is perfect when spread on a whole wheat tortilla and topped with cucumbers for a light and delicious afternoon wrap. I’ve been pairing the original cheese with fresh fruit and honey. Yum!
Breakfast also included a hot mug of coffee. Wake up, buttercup!
Now it’s time for things to get a little cheesy around here…
Alouette is in the middle of a 30-city U.S. tour with the 12-year-old author of Portion Size Me, a new book about the way the young author and his family transformed their lives by modifying their daily food choices and watching their portion sizes.
To held spread the word, Alouette is offering one PBF reader the chance to win a signed copy of the book and five coupons for Alouette cheese, valued at $8 each.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, saying how you’d like to use the cheese. I will randomly select a winner tomorrow morning.
Good luck!

I would like to try this cheese on a bagel as well! Yum!
I’d have it on top of a bagel for sure!
I make a rolled chicken with spreadable cheese, and turkey bacon and Panko bread crumbs!
I would love to try the cheese on a toasted bagel!
Uh YUM much?! I would use it with fresh strawberries and graham crackers to make those cute little cheesecake things I always see on pinterest 😉
spelt toast with nutritional yeast on top!
Yum! This sounds so good on a bagel with lox 🙂
I love cream cheese! I would put it on a bagel, use it in fruit dip, use it in a chicken roll-up recipe my boyfriend loves, or just spread it on some crackers! 🙂 YUM!
I would eat in on a piece of toasted nuts & seeds bread topped with a fried egg. Yum!
Creamy cheeses are so delicious! I love to make stir-fry veggies and pasta, then add Laughing Cow cheese. It melts and adds a great flavor. I’ve never heard of Aloutte, but I’m sure it would be wonderful!
oh yum! the italian sounds good on some crackers for a snack! thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I would love to use it on a baked potato, cheesy potatoes are my weakness! Spread on an apple would be a great snack too, so many great combos to have with such a great cheese.
A twelve year old author? That book sounds interesting!
I would put it in a veggie omelet! Yum:)
I would love to try this cheese!!
I don’t eat cheese (lactose intolerant), but I bet my mom would love this for an afternoon snack – so I would re-gift it to my mother.
This cheese can literally be put in ANYTHING, but I would love to try some kind of portion sized mini cheese cake with it in place of cream cheese! That would be legit!
I would use it in an egg scramble or melted on top of a bagel!
Spread onto celery sticks!
I would use the cheese on pita chips yum!
On warm bagels or fresh veggies 🙂
I’d spread it on a tortilla and add an avocado!
I’d use it to dip my pita chips in!
I would put it in a wrap and toast it, or on a bagel, the possibilities are enormous. hehehe
I’d spread it on crackers!
I have tried their cheese and liked it, but not that kind before. I usually use laughing cow so I would love to try it and compare (I’m sure it’s probably even better). I would use it in crepes and omelets, pizzas, wraps, cheese sandwiches…all kinds of things!
I would eat it with crackers and fruit!
I’d make bruschetta and spread the cheese on the bread before I put the tomatoes, etc on top! Yum!!
I like incline walking- it works the butt good and back of the legs 😉
I think the italian herb cheese would be good mixed in with scrambled eggs. I also like your idea of using the plain with fruit and honey, and then putting all 3 on a toasted english muffin.
Either cheese would probably be good with scrambled eggs, however the tortilla and cucumber idea sounds super tasty.
went to afternoon tea recently, which included cucumber tea sandwiches and they were delish!
Thanks for the contest
I would use the cheese on a mini bagel in the morning to accompany my fruit/veggie smoothie. I’ve been looking for something to add to keep me going until lunch time and this sounds like something delicious!
Cheese on crackers. YUM!
I actually almost identically make that same breakfast you did but I have used cream cheese or a laughing cow cheese in mine. This cheese sounds really good though! I love the sweet salty combo!
It also would be really good paired with an apple! I don’t what it is about cheese and apples but they just go so well together!
I have to tell you- I used this work out at the gym last night and coincidentally the girl beside me was using the same one. How random is that?!
I would love to use the cheese like you did with your breakfast! A bagelwich sounds delicious!
I would use the cheese spread in an omelet!
I think it would be pretty tasty on some multigrain Club crackers. Maybe with some chives. Mmmm. Yeah.
Yum! So many ideas, but first I am thinking with pasta or in my egg white omelet!
I’m late to the party but gotta say I love your circuit & treadmill workouts. I tried this one today, really did the trick. I’ve been looking for a way to change things up so now I think Fridays will be “Party Circuit Fridays” for me. Great work
Love your workouts, have been trying them to get me out of my current running/strength training rut!
However, I live in the UK and wanted to double check what unit of pace you are referring to above?
Thanks for your great posts 🙂
