What does it taste like, and would you recommend it? I am a cheese addict, and if this will help control more calories, I am all over it.

TIA!

    I think it's really good! It's super creamy & i love all the flavors they have. It's low in calories, but high in sodium (after all it IS processed cheese product). But I do eat it from time to time, spreading it on my breakfast sandwiches, or mixing it in when I make mashed potatoes :D

    I use this nearly EVERY day. LOVE the Queso flavor and the Sundried tomato. I use it with egg wraps, on plain chicken, tuna wraps, omelettes, just about everything. :)

    I loooooove the Garlic & Herb. The sundried tomato one though is vomit inducing though in my opinion! I haven't tried any of the other flavors.

    HUGE fan! I mix it in rice and pasta dishes for creaminess, throw it over baked potatoes, put it on grilled cheeses - love it!

    the only way to know what it taste like is to buy it and try it. Everyone has different taste. It's good for me, but I can't tell you that you'd like it. Try it.

    Like the others who have responded, I love the Laughing Cow cheese wedges. BUT, like you, Original Poster, I am a cheese addict and I think you will be very disappointed if you expect the Laughing Cow wedges will be a comparable substitute. Just my opinion.

    It's creamy (spreadable) swiss cheese. Very light in flavor. You can spread it on celery sticks, and by the time you finish eating, you've already gotten rid of nearly all of the calories! :happy:

    Also try the weight watchers jalapeno wedges. They are about half the price and just as good as the laughing cow brand.

    I use it to make chicken cordon bleu. It's amazing.

    Love it...spread on a sandwich, cracker, or apple slices. Have loved every flavor that I have tried. The bleu cheese is pretty strong while I find the chipotle is a milder cheese. Those are my two favorites.

    LOVE laughing cow cheese.. I use it all the time! The light swiss is so good to use in egg salad instead of mayo too! yumm. :smile:

    Love it!
    The herb & garlic makes a mean fettucine alfredo sauce substitute on your choice of pasta or shiritaki noodles (with grilled sliced portabello mushrooms and roasted red pepper strips, garlic and cherry tomaotes) .... Mmmmm good !

    Oh, and stuff a chicken breast with a wedge sliced in half. Along with red peppers and mushrooms, another yummy meal loaded with protein and low cal !

    It's absolutely delicious. There's a flavor called Sundried Tomato Mozzarella, spread it on sourdough wasa crispbreads for a 70 calorie snack. Amazzzzzingggg!!

    I like all of the flavors - great on crackers or bagels, or mixed into scrambled eggs or rice. A great, portion controlled way to indulge in a little creamy cheesy treat.

    Its awesome ! I use it as a spread instead of mayo/mustard whatever. I also use it to dip crackers (the special K crackers really good!) or carrots.

    I like it...and I'm not a huge cheese fan. But these are just the right size to take a couple eggs and turn them into scrambled eggs as well as perfect for an afternoon snack. If you like cheese, I think you'll love these! And you can have a couple wedges without killing your calories for the day

    I love it better than cream cheese, although, as already posted, it is high in sodium - it's really a cheese product. :)

    I love the light one on celery sticks (2 wedges go a long way with a whack of celery sticks!) with a dash of seasoned salt. REally yummy!

    P.S. The flavour is quite mild, for the plain ones.

    It is very good on crackers and they have a lot of different flavors.

    I love Laughing Cow cheese! I choose the Light kind, not the Extra Light. It tastes better.

    I like it. It's creamy and spreadable and very low cal for cheese. I prefer cheese from a block, but it's good. My friend adds it to mashed cauliflower and likes it a lot

    Deliciousness. Also much cheaper at Target (with food section) than Jewel. I've found it's about half the price.

    I was expecting more out of them. Taste kinda like cream cheese but a whole lot less flavor, very bland in my opinion. I couldnt eat it, thought it was disgusting. I would choose reduced fat cream cheese a million times over before buying Laughing Cow again. Also Laughing Cow has a horrible after taste to me
