Ingredients

  • Orange 1 medium
  • String cheese 1 stick

Method

  1. Prepare the orange. Peel the orange carefully to remove all skin and white pith. Then slice the orange into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a clean plate.
    Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean slices and avoid crushing the fruit.
  2. Portion the string cheese. Since a full stick of string cheese is about 100g and contains more calories and fat than the target, cut approximately 28 grams of string cheese (about one-quarter of a full stick). Use a kitchen scale for accuracy. Slice the cheese into bite-size pieces or strips for easy eating.
    Tip: If you don't have a kitchen scale, estimate by cutting the string cheese into four equal parts.
  3. Serve and enjoy. Place the portioned string cheese pieces next to the orange slices on the plate. This combination provides a balanced snack with 280 calories, 15g protein, 12g fat, and 28g carbohydrates.
    Tip: Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
