Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon canned pimento

• 4 slices bread

Preparation

1. Dice the pimento. In a small bowl combine the whipped cream cheese, pimento, sugar and pepper.

Helpful hints

• For additional protein, add 1 scoop of whey protein powder when blending ingredients together.
• The cream cheese is easier to work with when softened, making it easier to spread on the bread.
• If you are making only one sandwich, store remaining pimento cream cheese in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• For more variety try different types of bread such as sourdough, rye or whole wheat.
