There are plenty of ways to use up your fat-free half and half! Here are some ideas and recipe suggestions:
-
Coffee or Tea: Use it as a creamer for your coffee or tea to add creaminess without extra calories.
-
Smoothies: Add it to your smoothies for a rich, creamy texture. It pairs well with fruits like bananas and berries.
-
Cooking Soups: Use it as a base for creamy soups. For instance, try adding it to a vegetable soup or chowder for added creaminess.
-
Pudding or Custard: Make a low-fat chocolate or vanilla pudding by incorporating half and half. You can find plenty of recipes online!

Casseroles: Incorporate it into casseroles in place of milk or heavy cream to lighten the dish.
-
Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat: Stir it into your cooked oatmeal or cream of wheat for a creamier consistency.

Sauces: Use it as a base for sauces, such as a creamy garlic sauce or a cheese sauce, to go over pasta or vegetables.
