    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

    MMmm. Mashed potatoes?! I must try this.


    Its tastey on crackers and sammiches.

    Laughing Cow is a great alternative to cream cheese, low calories and portion controlled. If you want a low calorie alternative to hard cheese, check out Lisannatti Almond cheeses. 1 ounce has only 50 calories and 1 gram of fat. Whole Foods carries a variety and most health foods stores will have at least the mozzerella type.

    Love, Love, Love it!!! Aldi also has their own brand that only has 25 calories per wedge. The jalapeno kind taste like the cheese at the Mexican resteraunts. I eat it every day pretty much with Special K crackers!!

    I always have these in my fridge; great for a healthy snack on crispbreads or celery with some salt and pepper or a thin spread of marmite. I also gently melt them down with a little water to make a cheese sauce for pasta or veg

    Don't know if you have an Aldi's near you but they have the same thing, same package design but its called Happy Farms and they have the light ones for 25 calories. I LOVE the plain light ones. I eat one or two of them daily. The ones from Aldi's are also close to half the price of the Laughing Cow ones as well.

    Thanks! We have an Aldi here. I will have to look for those!

    Although Laughing Cow is most definitely not a substitute for real cheese, I really enjoy it. Spreads very nicely on pcrackers and when you are on the end of your calories helps!!!
    Thanks for the Aldi's tip...worth a try!!

    It's not cheese at all and needs no refrigeration which to me says it's full of preservatives. I don't think it does a body good. Just my opinion.


    Really? Cause mine says to keep refrigerated right on it...and I got it out of the dairy case right next to string cheese

    I agree, expecially since most places I see it is in the refrigerated section...

    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 LOVE it!!! I get the Creamy Queso Chipotle, spread it on my sandwich with some thinly sliced smoked turkey meat. DOn't need any cheese or mayo!!! :happy:

    Does anyone else find the chick that does the commercials for Laughing Cow cheese creepy?

    Her smile is eerie!

    Someone at work told me to try them recently. The cinnamon flavor is good on raisin bagel thins. The sundried tomato or queso chipotle is good on rye or wheat sandwich thins or wassa crisps. They are very creamy which makes them very different than standard cheese slices or anything like that but I think for the calories (max 45) it's worth a try as a substitute.

    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. :)

    ^Yep. Great with cut up veggies or crackers or pretzels for a snack. Good on a bagel. Great on sandwich thins with egg, spinach and turkey bacon for breakfast. They have a cream cheese version too. You can get three packs at Costco and Sam's that are very affordable.Keeps my cheese cravings in check.

    I'm a huge cheese fan and I do like it, it's super creamy though and I go through phases, sometimes I want the creamy, sometimes I want something harder.

    edited to add: ooops did I say that? I meant a harder CHEESE...CHEESE.

    love them....i always have several boxes in the fridge at all times. Usually just do them with crackers or bread, but have heard all kinds of great stories about mixing them with stuff, so will definitely be trying that soon.

    Not my favorite cheese, i've tried it on a couple occassions. But then again i'm not a huge Brie lover either, i would rather enjoy an Old Sharp Cheddar or Edam or Havarti or my fav - Smoked Applewood Aged 2 years or more (which doesn't come in a light version)

    I've tried French onion and garlic and herb. The French onion flavor is too light in my opinion but I LOVE to spread the garlic and herb one on a sandwich thin or a bagel for a smoked salmon sandwich/bagel. So yummy. I want some now.

    I add it to everything! On hamburgers, in my eggs, broccoli and cheese, mac and cheese, with pretzels, and anything else that you could want cheese on! It's so good!!!!

    Try the swiss on a flat out with a little chipolte sauce and then add honey turkey (Oscar Mayer brand) and bake at 350 for 12 minutes....It's AMAZING!!!

    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.

    The garlic n herb is very good. I also like the Swiss. I find it taste the same as the weight watchers wedges.

    I don't like the LC plain at all, but I really like the garlic and herb Light Laughing Cow. I LOVE cheese (probably too much!), and I don't consider this a replacement for my sharp cheddar, feta, etc. I would consider the LC more of a condiment. I use it as a replacement for mayo on a turkey sandwich (yummy, and I only use half a wedge), or with a snack of crackers and cucumbers. It gives me that "chips & dip" sensation of something crunchy, salty and creamy. It's also good on toast with an egg on top, but I don't think I'd eat it plain on toast.... I'd just use butter. lol.

    I use it constantly. Yes, get into it!

    I'm a cheese junkie and it is yummy. Just be careful with what you spread in on. I use the garlic herb wedges on celery, carrots, and a spread on sandwiches, instead of cheese. Good luck!
