Ingredients

Low-fat string cheese 2 sticks
Orange 1 medium

Method

Prepare the string cheese. Take 2 sticks of low-fat string cheese out of the packaging. If the cheese is cold from the refrigerator, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly, which makes it easier to eat.
Tip: If you prefer, you can gently pull the string cheese apart into smaller strips for easier snacking.
Peel and slice the orange. Wash the orange thoroughly under running water. Using your hands, peel off the orange skin and remove as much of the white pith as possible to reduce bitterness. Then, slice the orange into bite-sized wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the orange into slices if you want uniform pieces.
Serve and enjoy. Arrange the 2 sticks of string cheese and the sliced orange on a plate or in a bowl. This combination provides a balance of protein, healthy fats, and natural sugars for a wholesome snack.
Tip: Eat immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Pro tips

Choose fresh, firm string cheese for the best texture.
To make peeling easier, roll the orange on the counter with gentle pressure before peeling.
