Ingredients
- Medium pear 1 piece
- Part-skim mozzarella string cheese 42 grams
Method
-
Prepare the pear.
Wash the pear thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat it dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pear into thin slices or wedges, removing the core and seeds. Set aside on a plate.
Tip: If you prefer, you can peel the pear, but leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and nutrients. -
Portion the string cheese.
Take the part-skim mozzarella string cheese stick and weigh approximately 42 grams using a kitchen scale. If you don’t have a scale, this is roughly two-thirds of a standard 100g stick. Cut the portion into bite-sized pieces or keep it as a stick for easy eating.
Tip: Keep the remaining cheese refrigerated for later use. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the pear slices and the portioned string cheese on a plate. Enjoy immediately as a fresh, balanced snack.
Tip: Pair with a small handful of nuts for extra crunch and healthy fats if desired.
Pro tips
- Use a sharp knife to slice the pear cleanly without bruising the fruit.
