Start your morning with creamy goodness without trashing your blood sugar. It also provides part of your daily cinnamon intake if you're using that as a supplement. It great for other snacks as well.
Blend the cheese, 1/2 of the cinnamon, Splenda and maltodextrin together. Taste the mixture and add additional cinnamon to your taste. Some people like the whole 2 Tbs. while for others that's a bit "too much". Store, chilled, in a covered container for up to a week.
I serve this by spreading it on toasted Multi-Grain English Muffins and popping them under the broiler for a few moments to lightly brown the tops.
Each (2 Tbs - 1/2 oz) serving of this contains an estimated:

Chol: 11mg, Na: 57mg, K: 25mg
TotCarbs: 3g, Fiber: 2g, Sugars: 0g

If you used all the cinnamon each serving provides .75 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Spread on 1/2 of a MultiGrain English Muffin this contains:
Cals: 142, FatCals: 46, TotFat: 5g
SatFat: 2g, PolyFat: 1g, MonoFat: 2g
Chol: 11mg, Na: 167mg, K: 90mg

The pictures show this spread with some sugar-free peach preserve.
I came up with this as a delicious way to increase my intake of cinnamon. Cinnamon is reportedly helpful in stabilizing blood glucose levels.
