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!

Olive never tried it- would love to try on bagel or crackers
the cheeselooks so creamy and yummy! I think i would dip crackers and veggies in it!
I like to spreadable cheese on my sandwiches instead of mayo. Its creamy and cheesey and usually less calories than mayo + cheese.
I’d schmear it on pumpernickel bread 🙂
I use Alouette on a tortilla for a turkey and veggie wrap. Yum! I’m pretty impressed that the book is written from a kid’s perspective, I’d love to read it and pass it along to my nephew!
On a sandwich with tomato & cucumber
I love the alouette herb cheese, I would probably just eat it straight on crackers!
i would love to use the alouette on a toasted sandwich!

i would try it on a breakfast sandwich like you show bc it looks amazing and maybe on a grilled cheese.
On my turkey sandwiches for lunch. I need something different as I am getting tired of the same ol’ sandwich.
cheese + saltines + avocado slices. best. combo. ever.
Pizza Pizza Pizza!
I would definitely use it on crackers with some fruit. A delicous snack!

oooh on a toasted bagel, yummmmm.
I love spreadable cheese. I like to spread it on a tortilla for morning breakfast burritos!
Those remind me of the laughing cow wedges I’ve been using. I love the sweet flavors as toppers for sweet potatoes & the savory flavors with my breakfast egg scrambles!
i’d love to add the cheese to a veggie wrap with hummus!
how WOULDN’T I use the cheese? I’d use it in breakfast, that’s for sure. And I’d definitely incorporate it into lunch wraps!
Cheese and crackers is the best snack ever! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love soft cheese and crackers!
I checked out a bread machine cookbook from the library, so fresh bread with cheese sounds delicious!
Definitely with some of my fresh garden tomatoes!
Yum-I’d put it it an omelet or mix the soft cheese in a chicken salad!
With an apple or some crackers:)
On a bagel in the morning.
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! 🙂
Tried to sign up for that bootcamp program and it’s too late 🙁 I’ve been trying to look for some sort of workout program or routine. I’m bored with Jamie Eason’s phase 3!

Mmmm… probably as a dip with crackers! sounds delish
on my turkey sandwich of course—next to the tomato! e
On a wrap with fresh crisp veggies like cucumber and peppers!
I would love to try this cheese with a toasted bagel!
The wrap idea with cucumbers sounds so refreshing… I’d go with that and maybe add some sprouts too.
Bring it to work with some veggies for lunch! Yum!
It would be delicious atop veggies!
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!
I would put this on a bagel! Yum!
On a piece of toast with sliced cucumber and a pinch of salt!
I would spread this on crackers!
