Cheese Please

July 25, 2012 by Julie 601 Comments

Another day, another interval workout!

40 minute treadmill workout

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 like to spreadable cheese on my sandwiches instead of mayo. Its creamy and cheesey and usually less calories than mayo + cheese.

    I LOVE that cheese but I can never justify buying it because it’s so expensive. I love it on sandwiches and just as a dip with pretzels or crackers.

    oo yummy! I would use the italian herb cheese in my scrambled eggs and mixed into pasta and/or mixed into some veggies such as broccoli and zucchini. Cheesy broccoli=yes please! The original would be good any which way… spread on toast then sprinkled with cinnamon/sugar! 🙂

    The wrap idea with cucumbers sounds so refreshing… I’d go with that and maybe add some sprouts too.

    I love all single portion foods! And more than anything….cheese! I would spread it on a fresh farm stand tomato with cracked pepper, basil and a drizzle of bsalmic.

    Portion control foods are so amazing! Coming from someone who is in recovery from an eating disorder, portion control foods are a great way for me to ensure that I don’t ” skimp” on getting my food exchanges for the day. Thank you Alouette!
