Bagel with Cream Cheese

Everyone loves a bagel with cream cheese. It’s a staple breakfast for a lot of us, especially those of us with busy mornings. Normally I’d say don’t mess with an already perfect combination, but when it comes to a bagel and cream cheese, mixing things up a bit is exactly what’s needed.

Have fun with different cream cheese flavors and different bagel varieties. Why eat a plain bagel with plain cream cheese, when you could eat this banana and strawberry cream cheese spread instead? Pair it with a blueberry bagel for the ultimate fruity mix!

Try making homemade bagels to pair with it.

Easy Cream Cheese Recipe

This easy cream cheese recipe is SO simple, and yet the flavor makes a huge difference in your typical bagel and cream cheese breakfast. Call it a recipe, call it a hack, call it homemade or store-bought…it doesn’t matter to me, because this cream cheese spread is DELICIOUS either way. It will make your mornings a breeze!

How many calories are in this Banana Strawberry Cream Cheese?

How many calories are in this cream cheese will depend on what type of cream cheese you buy to start out with. You can buy original (full fat) cream cheese, low-fat, whipped, whatever you like. Once everything is blended together, this recipe ends up at about 100 calories per serving. 

How long does cream cheese last?

Once you make this banana strawberry cream cheese spread, store it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. Since it now contains fresh strawberries and bananas, I recommend keeping it for about 1 week. It won’t necessarily go bad straight after that, but the flavor, ingredients, and texture will hold best for up to 1 week in the fridge.

Can cream cheese be frozen?

You can freeze cream cheese, but I wouldn’t recommend it, especially for this semi-homemade cream cheese spread. The texture will change after thawing, and the flavor just won’t be quite the same. This recipe is best consumed fresh.
