Low-Fat String Cheese and Apple

Ingredients

• Low-fat string cheese 1 piece
• Apple 1 medium

Method

1. Prepare the apple. Wash the apple thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. You can use a fruit brush to clean the skin if you like. Dry the apple with a clean towel.
   Tip: Choose a sweet apple variety like Fuji or Gala for a naturally sweet contrast to the cheese.
2. Slice the apple. Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the apple into thin slices or wedges, removing the core and seeds. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for extra fiber.
   Tip: To prevent browning, you can dip the apple slices in a little lemon water (1 tablespoon lemon juice mixed with 1 cup water) and then drain.
3. Prepare the string cheese. Unwrap the low-fat string cheese. You can eat it as is or gently pull it apart into thinner strips to enjoy the texture.
   Tip: Pulling the cheese into strips makes it more fun and easier to eat along with the apple slices.
4. Serve and enjoy. Arrange the apple slices and string cheese on a small plate or in a container if packing for later. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
   Tip: This snack pairs well with a glass of water or your favorite herbal tea.

Pro tips

• Keep the apple slices fresh by storing them in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Choose crisp apples for the best contrast with the creamy cheese texture.
