Ingredients
- Mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries) 1 cup cups
- Low-fat string cheese 1 piece piece
Method
-
Prepare the berries.
Rinse 1 cup (about 240 grams) of mixed strawberries and blackberries gently under cold water. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Tip: Dry berries thoroughly to avoid sogginess and maintain fresh texture. -
Portion the string cheese.
Since a full 100-gram piece of low-fat string cheese exceeds the fat and calorie targets, cut approximately 40 grams from the string cheese stick. This portion will provide about 10 grams of fat and 18 grams of protein, aligning with your target macros.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accuracy or estimate by eye if no scale is available. -
Plate and serve.
Place the rinsed mixed berries on a small plate or bowl. Arrange the 40-gram portion of low-fat string cheese alongside the berries. Enjoy immediately for best freshness and flavor.
Tip: Eating the cheese and berries together balances sweetness with savory protein.
Pro tips
- Use fresh or frozen berries that have been thawed and drained well for best texture.
- Cut string cheese portions carefully to meet nutritional targets without waste.
