Hey there blog buds!
Have you seen this new “cheese” anywhere? I just discovered it recently and had to share it with you. It’s called “We Can’t Say It’s Cheese” by Wayfare. So far I’ve only tried the cheddar-style spread and I’m in love!
It is completely dairy free and there is no casein snuck into it either. The main ingredient is OATMEAL!!!
I’ve been using it in wraps and on crackers mostly. Here is my new favorite low-cal snack that has a nice little kick to it for when you feel the need to shove your face into a bag of salty chips. 
(Don’t do it! Step away from the chips!)
Take one Wasa Cracker (I use Light Rye)
Smear with 1 tbsp (or less) “We Can’t Say It’s Cheese” and then sprinkle with some Mrs Dash Salt Free Fiesta Lime seasoning.
Nibble away!
One cracker snack is:
- 60 calories
- 8.5g carbs
- 2g protein
- 2g fiber
- 2.5g fat
You could have 3 of them and still come in at only 180 calories. This is one of my new favorites for when I’m craving something a little savory or salty. Or when I just walk in the door from work and want something RIGHT NOW that will hold me over until dinner is ready. The healthy fat and the fiber will fill you up in a jiffy. (I make a similar snack using Tofutti ‘Better Than Cream Cheese’ spread and Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil seasoning too…. also very tasty!)
The Wayfare website talks about how they started their line of products because they were bothered by the fact that so many non-dairy products also included a lot of fake stuff. And they didn’t want fake stuff in their food! (Me either!) So next time you are at the health food store, keep an eye out and give this brand a try. Let me know what you think if you try it!
The more we purchase and support products that don’t have garbage (additives, chemicals, artificial sweeteners, carcinogens) in them, then more companies will hop on the bandwagon and continue to develop great things for us to use, making healthy eating even easier!
Hope you are having an amazing day! Make it great!

Oatmeal? Seriously? I must get my hands on this. What other types of spreads do they have?

Total side note here, but I finally found the coconut cream pie Lara Bar at the store and tried it for the first time today. It’s soooo yummy! Definitely my favorite!

NO joke Shari I am heading to the store to find this spread!!! This snack is right up my alley!! I’m even thinking it may make a good lunch side to go with a big salad! I’ll admit my first thoughts when I saw that first picture were 1) OATMEAL?? and 2) What kinds of stuff is in this??? And what a nice surprise! I don’t like fake stuff in my food either (unless it’s a Ding Dong on the rare occasion)
And I’ve never seen that flavor of Mrs Dash but I do love me some chili/lime so I’m in search of that too!!!
Thanks for the great tip!!
xoxo

Berni, I just saw that Mrs Dash for the first time myself the other day too! It’s AWESOME — you will LOVE it. It actually has dried lime peel. I think lime is one of my favorite flavors to cook with. Enjoy!

Hey that looks yummy! I’ll have to look for that! And wasa light rye is my fav too…I tried the sourdough one but didn’t really taste a difference.
I totally agree with your philosophy of more purchases send a message…AND helps bring prices down! A 2fer that’s good for you!

Hi Joan! I haven’t tried the sourdough one… sounds good though. I love the WASA line because they are so light and they make a healthier replacement so many other crackers.
