Method

Prepare the Pear. Wash the pear thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the skin off the pear if you prefer it peeled (optional). Then, core the pear by cutting it into quarters and removing the seeds and tough center. Slice the pear quarters into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Tip: If you like the pear skin, you can leave it on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Prepare the Cheese Stick. Take one low-fat cheese stick and unwrap it. If desired, cut the cheese stick into smaller pieces or sticks for easier eating.
Tip: Cutting the cheese into smaller sticks makes it more convenient to eat alongside the pear slices.
Plate and Serve. Arrange the pear slices on a plate or serving dish. Place the cheese stick pieces next to the pear slices. This snack is ready to eat immediately.
Tip: Serve chilled for a refreshing taste.

Pro tips

Choose ripe pears that are slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and sweetness.
Pair the snack with a handful of nuts for added texture and healthy fats if you want to increase calories.
