Veggie Cream Cheese

I love bagels and cream cheese. I used to work at Dunkin Donuts so I would eat them constantly. My two favorite combos became blueberry bagels with blueberry cream cheese and everything bagels with veggie cream cheese. This is perfect because your only choice had to be did you want sweet or savory?

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were craving some veggie cream cheese, instead of buying a container of it, we decided to try making it. How hard could it be right?

For the first time in the history of the world, the answer to that question was NOT AT ALL! Veggie cream cheese turned out to be super easy to make. Plus the homemade kind is way yummier than the pre made stuff, not really a surprise.

I also imagine that using fresh veggies makes it a little better for you since there's less processed junk. I'm not totally sure about this/it depends on the brand you buy.

Anyway, this past weekend we made it again with a few minor adjustments and its just the bomb. I knew I had to share it. So here it goes a super easy recipe for veggie cream cheese that you'll kick yourself for not thinking of.

Ingredients: 

Cream cheese

Radishes 

Bell Peppers

Scallions 

Garlic 

Step 1: Dice some fresh veggies, the smaller the better.

P.S. Don't forget to add the garlic (half a clove goes a long way) 

P.P.S. How cute are those tiny bell peppers

Step 2: Mix veggies and cream cheese, we used a mixer but I imagine you could do it by hand to. It helps to soften the cream cheese in the microwave first.

Step 3: Serve on toasted bagels 

Voila! Thats really it! So easy right? Plus you can add whatever veggies you like. Confession, we chose ours based on what would add the nicest colors. I bet it would also be good with some type of spicy pepper added. 

Let me know if you give it a try and what veggies you tried in it!
