Thank you for visiting. This series has ended.

The “Turn the Tub Around” campaign is spreading the word that I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter has been reformulated – among other things, no hydrogentated oils, no cholesterol and 460 mg of Omega 3 (ALA) per serving. (If you have yet to read my post about our foray into the world of music videos, check out this post about our “Turn the Tub Around” video.)

I don’t know about you, but I can use all the help I can get cutting fat and calories. Plus, around here, trying to get the essential Omega 3 in our diet is difficult. So I decided to test I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread out on my unsuspecting son, Hank. He’s a picky eater; my daughter, not so much, but my son, ugh.

Recently I’d posted some recipes for compound butter – one of them for honey cinnamon butter. Hank likes cinnamon toast for breakfast. It’s easy and basic. Why not replace the butter in the honey cinnamon butter with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread and use that for his cinnamon toast? Just tell him it’s the same ingredients, only mixed together so it’s easier to spread. And since the honey cinnamon butter recipe calls for honey instead of sugar, if it worked, the health benefits from the honey combined with the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread would be a much healthier choice.

I mixed up the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread with the honey and cinnamon – so easy. He gobbled it down. He even said it was better than normal. Score!

And you know what? I’ve gotta say it, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! No loss of flavor – just the loss of fat and cholesterol. I can imagine many compound butter flavors you could substitute I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spread with. Herbed butter on steak or fish would be fabulous.
