We are officially in the midst of summer, and as the temperatures continue to rise, it’s time to celebrate all foods that fill us up with out over loading us. Skip the greasy heavy foods, and try some of the lightest, fluffiest, and most refreshing recipes that Philly has to offer.
- Creamy Sweet Whipped Carrots: Mash Potatoes are good, but have you tried whipped carrots yet? It’s almost like eating whipped sweet potatoes, both are similar in the fact that they are sweet, but these carrots are truly a treat. Whipped to fluffy perfection, with fat free Philly and a little milk, these carrots are good light in calories and in taste.
- Cool Veggie Pizza: During the hot summer months it’s nice to have something cool and light for lunch and dinner. Try this cold veggie pizza. Use a crescent roll as your crust, Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese, for your sauce and your favorite summer veggies for toppings. It will fill you up without weighing you down.
- Whipped Feta Spread with Walnuts: Nothing says light and fluffy like a little feta, whipped up into a delicious spread using Philadelphia cream cheese and some chopped walnuts. Goes great with crackers or toast.
What light and fluffy list would be complete without dessert? Here are some of the yummiest and fluffiest Philly has to offer.
- Fluffy Cheesecake: Does dessert really get any better than a creamy, dreamy piece of fluffy cheesecake, maybe drizzle with a little chocolate and some fresh raspberries? The Cool Whip mixed together with the Philly gives the texture a great airy quality that won’t necessarily fill you up like other cheesecakes. It’s so simple to make to!
- Fluffy Lemon Berry Pie: This great and unique kind of pie. Its light and fluffy, and has a nice citrus taste from the lemon pie filling, that makes it sort of refreshing. Layer your favorite berries on top for a final touch. Strawberries and blueberries together is a great choice. Garnish with some fresh mint!
