Philadelphia 1/3 Less Fat Soft Cream Cheese — 

I love cream cheese, I just LOVE it.  I can go through a whole thing of Philadelphia Cream Cheese on one bagel if I didn't think it would be very bad for me!  My mom once brought home fat free Philadelphia - and I hated it.  I also tried Whipped Philadelphia a few times, and felt like it was not creamy enough.  So at work when I had the opportunity to try Philadelphia 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese, I was worried I wouldn't like it, but gave it a try anyway.

It taste the same as Regular Philadelphia!
Trust me, I know what regular cream cheese tastes like, and I know that when I eat this 1/3 less fat version I cannot tell the difference.  It's still creamy, it's still yummy, it's still cream cheesy!  There might be a minor difference but it's so minor that it doesn't disappoint me at all.  I still feel like I had a satisfying meal after eating this.

Nutrition: 1/3 Less Fat, but what about the rest?
I haven't had a regular container of Cream Cheese in the house for awhile, so I can't remember how much fat and calories were in that.  However this 1/3 less fat version seems healthier regardless.  It has 5g of fat, 70 calories, 2g carbs and 2g protein for a 2 tbsp serving.  This really isn't all that bad!  You still shouldn't eat cheese non-stop, but at least you cut out some fat by eating this.

In the end, you won't know the difference
No one else will know the difference either.  We make a lot of desserts with philly brick cream cheese, and now I will use the 1/3 less fat version.  I know they will never know the difference, and I won't tell them.  If you love regular Philadelphia cream cheese, then why not give this a try.  You'll get the same good taste, with less of the unhealthy stuff.  Enjoy!
