Schmear typically refers to a creamy spread, originating from Jewish-American cuisine, often used on bagels. The classic schmear is made from cream cheese, though variations may include additional ingredients like herbs, spices, vegetables, or smoked salmon for added flavor and nutrition. Rich in calcium and protein, plain cream cheese offers some nutritional benefits but is also high in saturated fat and calories. More wholesome versions, such as those made with Greek yogurt or reduced-fat cream cheese, provide a healthier alternative while maintaining the smooth texture and tangy taste. Schmear is versatile, pairing well with whole-grain bagels and fresh vegetables for a balanced snack, though portion control is essential to keep the calorie content in check. Whether enjoyed sweet or savory, schmear is a flavorful addition that combines indulgence with the potential for a more health-conscious twist.
