Yogurt Cheese is a lower calorie and lower fat alternatives to traditional dairy cheese.  It is the creamy white cheese left over when liquid whey drains from the fresh yogurt.  This is all natural and a great way to supplement your diet with calcium and protein, without adding fat. It’s low in sodium and lactose (milk sugar) but still tastes super creamy and rich!

We know that choosing healthy options is really important to many of our customers which is why we have chosen to shine the spotlight on our yogurt cheese today.

A range of flavors

We offer a Plain Yogurt Cheese, Garlic and Herb, Jalapeno, and Vegetable.

Ways to eat it

1. On a bagel

We love yogurt cheese spread onto a bagel instead of cream cheese. This is a great, healthy breakfast or lunch option even when you’re on the go. We especially love our flavoured cheeses. Jalapeno will give you a great spicy kick.

2. With peanut butter

Yogurt cheese can be used to lengthen products that might have a high fat content. Mix 1 tablespoon of peanut butter with 1- 2 tablespoons of cheese. The yogurt cheese takes on the flavor of the peanut butter but has lower fat.

3. With mayonnaise

Just as with peanut butter, this can be used to expand your mayonnaise as it will take on the flavor. Mix 1 tablespoon mayonnaise with 1- 2 tablespoons cheese, then eat it with salad or even chips.

4. On a Baked Potato

Yogurt Cheese is delicious on a baked potato, especially our flavoured varieties. You can even mix it with sour cream, chives or herbs for a traditional flavor.

5. As an alternative to whipped cream

Mix ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into 2 tablespoons of yogurt cheese for a whipped cream alternative. Great served with berries or an apple tart.

6. With Salmon

Yogurt Cheese makes a great accompaniment to fish instead of a fatty, creamy sauce.

7. In a soup

Add protein to your soup without the calories by adding a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt cheese.

8. As an alternative to frosting

Mix ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup cheese. This is great on cakes. Make sure that you chill it before spreading so that it does not melt on the cake.

9. In pasta

A great way to make a creamy sauce for pasta that has plenty of flavor. Use our garlic and herb flavor and you won’t even need to add anything else. A quick, healthy dinner in minutes!

10. As a chocolate mousse

Mix 1 packet of low-calorie chocolate drink mix with 1 cup of cheese. Chill in the fridge before serving.
