Instead of spending the cash on fancy spreads in the shop, you can create your own!
Every time I visit a Panera or Einstein Bros. bagel sho I drool over all of the fancy cream cheese spreads they offer. Instead of spending the cash on fancy spreads in the shop, you can create your own!

Step 1
For each of these recipes, make sure your cream cheese is at room temp to make the blending easy. You want the ingredients to be well combined. I mix mine in a little chopper (mini food processor) but a bowl and spoon will be fine! I've made all kinds of versions, but these are my favorites:
Reduced Fat Hazelnut Spread
1/2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
Just blend together! -
Step 2
Reduced Fat Sundried Tomato Spread
16 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
pinch of salt
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked in hot water for ten minutes, then chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
Just blend together! -
Step 3
Kalamata Olive spread
16 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
pinch of salt
1/4 cup kalamata (Greek) olives, chopped
1/8 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
Just blend together!
