Ingredients
- Beef jerky (low sodium) 1 oz
- Celery sticks 1 cup
Method
-
Prepare the celery sticks.
Take fresh celery stalks and wash them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Then, cut the celery into sticks about 3 to 4 inches long, making them easy to hold and dip if desired.
Tip: Choose celery stalks that are firm and bright green for the best crunch. -
Measure the beef jerky.
Take 1 ounce (approximately 28 grams) of low-sodium beef jerky. If the jerky pieces are large, you can cut them into smaller bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Low-sodium jerky helps keep the snack healthier by reducing sodium intake. -
Arrange and serve.
Place the celery sticks on a plate and arrange the beef jerky pieces alongside them. This snack is ready to eat immediately.
Tip: For extra flavor, you can serve with a small side of hummus or your favorite dip, but keep in mind this will add calories.
Pro tips
- Keep celery sticks fresh by storing them in water in the fridge to maintain crispness.
- Choose beef jerky with no added sugars or preservatives for a healthier snack.
