Notes
Cook’s Tip:
- Aim to buy organic cream cheese or a brand that does not use carrageenan as an ingredient as this is an emulsifier known to promote gut inflammation.
- Swaps: Swap cream cheese for hummus, chicken liver pate or cashew/almond nut cheese
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days
