HEALTHY BAGEL SPREADS

Do you enjoy a bagel for breakfast? While modest portions of whole-grain bagels can be a healthy breakfast option, be careful with your smears. A 1-ounce portion of traditional cream cheese adds about 100 calories and 10 grams of fat with 5 grams coming from the unhealthy saturated type. For a healthier spread, consider this alternative—a blend of silken tofu, cinnamon, vanilla extract and minced dried fruit. But, if you really love your cream cheese simply use less or try a low-fat or fat-free version. Your heart will thank you!

  1. P90X has really helped me shave off some pounds. The MC type training envolved helps you melt in half the time or less than pretty much any other type.
