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!

i would add the cheese to a veggie sandwich!!!
With bagels and smoked salmon! My husband and I love bagels and lox but don’t have it often enough to justify buying tubs of cream cheese since it ends up going bad. Wrapped portions would be perfect. Thank you!
Pick Me, Pick Me, I’ve actually never tried it! But I love cheese and love any spread to liven up my healthy snacks!

Since cheese is my favorite food, what wouldn’t I use it on! I would definately incorporate this on a sandwich or use it to dip carrots and pretzels!

Hi Julie!
I would definitely use the cheese on a morning breakfast sandwich. I copied your egg-cheese-and-jam baglewich the other day and I can’t get enough! A new flavor would be fun to try.
