While I was at BlogHer, I had an opportunity to attend the Unilever Penthouse Suite.  One of the brands featured was I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! I did a little taste-testing and was surprised at how much it tastes like butter while not seeming overwhelming or artificial.  I actually like butter more than I should and it’s likely not helping me lose my baby weight.  I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray can be used to grill and easily flavor foods without adding fat, calories to meals.  You also won’t find trans fats or hydrogenated oils.

There are a TON of creative ways to use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray.

Create an easy “blackened chicken” by spraying on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season with chili powder, dried herbs and black pepper.

Spray on sliced vegetables before grilling (I actually prefer this over soggy, greasy grilled veggies)

Spray on whole grain toast with a dash of cinnamon and topped with fresh sliced berries.

For more quick and effortless ways to flavor foods, check out their website.

  3. My favorite way to use ICBINB Spray is on Corn On the Cob. It’s easy to butter the corn, no mess…and the kids love being able to butter their own corn. Thanks!

  7. Usually when I’m making fish it’s just for me since the hubby doesn’t even like the smell; I don’t like fussing a lot when I’m the only one eating, so I generally stick to quick-and-easy recipes. I love just throwing a tilapia filet in a pan, adding butter, tossing on some salt, pepper, and lemon juice and letting it bake for a while. Having the I can’t believe it’s not butter spritzer makes an easy job even easier since I don’t have to fuss with slicing or melting, and it makes sure to get an even coating on the fish.
