Greek Cream Cheese?

[M2G 1,836]

Has anyone else tried this? I bought a block (cautiously...since I had never heard of it before) when it was on sale.

I was pleasantly surprised by it. It has a little less calories that regular cream cheese and it has more Protein. It does have a different sort of flavor than regular cream cheese...maybe a bit of a tang to it? Hard to describe.

Anyway, I went back and bought a bunch more while it was on sale. The funny thing was it is the store brand...and usually they make a store brand to compete with a name brand but I have search (at my store anyway) and not seen a "name brand" of this kind of cream cheese. I think that's kind of odd.

Anyway, thought it was worth mentioning...

I don't' know what that is?

K. I googled it and maybe they are similar? Not exactly sure but I found it at King Soopers (Kroger brand) I took photos of the package and of the nutritional stuff for anyone who is interested.

I went back and bought a couple of more packages!

That is labaneh. I love it!! I'm Palestinian and we make this homemade in my home. Spread it in a plate with a drizzle of olive oil and it's Devine! I eat it with my eggs, wrap it up in lunch meat with cucumbers, or even spread it in Kim's magic pop! Yum yum! The best with it my moms homemade pita, but u know!! Lol

Lol! , its a BOBCAT

It's delicious. Even try it mixed in with some ground lean meat or turkey and chopped tomatoes! Season the meat with salt, pepper, minced onions and allspice and finish it with fresh parsley.

I also found it at Walmart in another name brand pretty cheap and I mixed it with tuna and creole seasoning. Used it both as a veggie dip and rolled it up in a wrap. Pretty yummy. I froze some of the blocks and it froze well.

I saw Greek yogurt/cream cheese at Walmart this week. I didn't try it because it had the same Protein as my FF cream cheese but had 3-5 grams of fat too. Having said that, FF cream cheese and FF greek yogurt are staples for me when I'm not on the road.

Fat free doesn't always mean it's better. Usually higher in carbs and sugar when it's low or no fat. I'd rather have the fat. I do such low carb I need the fats for fuel.
