Taste Test Tuesday: Trader Joe's Light Brie
I love Brie but it's been one of those cheeses that only come one way - full fat. So, imagine my surprise when I noticed the new Trader Joe's product - Light Brie with 50% less fat and 30% fewer calories than regular Brie.
In one ounce the fat is reduced from 9 to 4.5, and calories go from 100 to 70. 1 ounce contains: 70 calories, 4.5 g fat, 2.5 g saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 230 mg sodium, 1 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 7 g protein and 15% Daily Value for calcium.
How Did It Taste?
The texture isn't as creamy but the taste is in the ballpark. Definitely worth trying if you like Brie as much as I do.
