I learned about Laughing Cow Light when I started following Hungry Girl and buying her books.
I discovered her in early 2009 shortly after the book was published when I ran across it at Barnes and Noble, long before “socials” were a thing. I quickly became a huge fan! I’m not associated with her in any way, but I do adore her knowledge and highly encourage others to check out the brilliant ways she can help you manage your weight. She’s done a lot of great work!
The product works as a snack, but shines as a spread. Think of subs for butter and mayo and only costs 1 WW point. Here are some ways that my friends and I have used Laughing Cow Light:
- On toast (I love this so much)
- Make jalapeno poppers by stuffing with a little LCL and sprinkling with crumbled bacon
- Low point crackers like wheat thins or triscuits
- On/in eggs
- Grilled cheese sandwiches
- On a light bagel sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning
- A spread for wraps and sandwichs
- In soup to make it creamy and a little more flavor than nonfat yogurt does
- Melted with pasta water and spices as a pasta sauce.
- Canned chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning to make a 1pt buffalo dip
- In burritos
- On an English muffin with a little sugar free jam or berries
- Crackers topped with cucumbers or deli meat
- Spread onto apples
- Stuffed into mini sweet peppers
- Instead of mayo in deviled eggs
- On top grilled steak
- On burgers
- Melted on vegetables
- Spread on tortilla and rolled up
- Melted in/on pasta
- On celery
- With wine
- In creamed cauliflower
- Take it to a restaurant with you to use as a spread instead of butter on potatoes and toast, etc
- Spread on a rice cake
- On avocado toast
- Mixed with salsa as a dip or a spread with chicken and beans on a wrap
- In mashed potatoes or on a baked potato
- Melted into a bag of steamed corn
- Spread on ham or turkey with a dill pickle or scallion in the middle, then roll up!
