Allow the cream cheese and unsalted butter to come to room temperature. This ensures they are soft and easily blend together.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the chopped fresh parsley, chives, and dill to the cream cheese mixture. Stir them in gently to ensure even distribution.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until these seasonings are thoroughly combined with the cheese mixture.
Pour in the lemon juice and stir it through the spread. The lemon juice adds a touch of acidity that brightens the flavors of the herbs.
Transfer the herb cheese spread to a serving dish or an airtight container if storing.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together, but serve at room temperature for best texture and flavor.
Serve the low carb herb cheese spread with vegetables like cucumber slices, celery sticks, or low-carb crackers for a delightful appetizer or snack.
