I decided to try the wasa cracker crisp'n light and used laughing cow cheese on it and it's pretty good. But the laughing cow cheese is so high in sodium. Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to top this low call crackers with?

thanks

    I top rice cakes with 1tlbsp fat free cream cheese and cinnamon or ranch powder. It's only 20 calories.]

    Hi,

    Try cottage cheese if you like it. I know it sounds weird, but cottage cheese is high in protien and low in everything else. Enjoy!

    I ate them before I found this board. They are really good with cream cheese and grapes. I cut the grape in half...made a really yummy snack...No clue the sodium or any of that....will have to check.

    Philadelphia Cream Cheese - Regular Whipped, 2 tbsp 60 1 6 1 1 90
    Red Grapes - Red Seedless Grapes, 1 cup 62 16 0 1 15 2

    I like tuna mixed with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, paprika and dill. Mediterainian-ish (sorry, I can't spell :|) or turkey slices.

    thats great - I do that too with tuna. also some hummous is pretty good on them.

    I have been on more of a melba toast kick lately - those are good too.

    Where are you getting that laughing cow is high in sodium? I just checked my round of light wedges and the sodium is zero?

    On the back of the package it says 210 for sodium

    Wasa cracker? Issa type of biscuit, usually salted or savory -- like Saltines, Ritz...

    Ha! Admit it -- that was hilarious.

    What laughing cow cheese product is that? And is that sodium per 100g? per portion? what?

    I used to mix cucumbers and dill in with yogurt, then line a strainer with a coffee filter, paper towel or clean dishtowel dump the whole thing in and let is strain at least over night.

    Comes out about the consistence of cream cheese. Tastes much better than the no-fat cream cheese (I equate no-fat cream cheese cheese with spackling compound) It's yummy with dill & cukes, but I've also done roasted red peppers & sun-dried tomatoes. I prefer the savory items, but fresh fruit would work to, much less sugar than those little cups of "fruit" yogurt

    So this comes out like a cheese spread? That sounds yummy! Do you think you could use the greek yogurt?

    I love weight watchers cream cheese on it! I haven't looked at the sodium though.

    I dunno? I haven't had greek yogurt. Does it come in plain? I have friends who love the fage with honey, but that's way too high in sugar for me.

    The yoghurt/ cucmber thing sounds too complicated for me!

    You could just switch to laughing cow light, which has zero sodium.

    Another of my favourite toppings is quick guacamole - mash half an avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice and a grind of black pepper. Delicious in seconds!

    I don't think you can make cheese w/o salt...plain milk naturally has some sodium. Here is the laughing cow website and all of the wedges have @ least 210g of sodium.

    Wow, different nutrients in the UK and US versions! Who knew? That's a rather disturbing discovery.
