What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of foods labeled as low-calorie, fat-free, diet, or even Weight Watchers brand foods?  To be honest, I usually steer clear.  Often you find that these types of food lack in flavor, sometimes in consistency, and also are priced higher than the “original” style.

After my second child, I used the Weight Watchers program online.  I lost weight by following the points system, but not by sacrificing my favorite flavors and foods.  Weight Watchers’ line of food is portioned to help you follow your weight loss plan, but keeps all the foods quality in taste!  Their Weight Watchers Cheese line is introducing a line of gourmet spreadable cheese wedges and an 8-ounce variety of  cream cheese spread, that will have you hooked!

My take:  The cheese wedges come in 4 super yummy flavors, my favorite has to be the jalepeno pepper!  At 1 point per wedge, you spread these on crackers and get a mouthful of creamy cheese flavor with a kick.  Serve them at a party, alternating the garlic and herb and original swiss wedges and your guest will NEVER know the difference. I’m not a huge swiss cheese fan, and I can tell you that the wedge has a nice lightness to it and is very enjoyable!  With the 8oz block of cream cheese, I tested it out on the kids putting it on their toasted bagel.  No questions asked, they loved it and at 1 point per 1oz of cream cheese, moms and dads can feel good about too!  I can’t get over the silky texture, it practically melts in your mouth!  Mid-afternoon energy crash?  Not anymore, nibble on a cheese wedge and you can now hold over to dinner without too many empty calories!
