- String cheese 1 stick
Method
-
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. -
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. -
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.
