Since my New Year’s Resolution was to eat healthier, I realized that meant not only my main meals but my snacks as well could use a change. I’ve been trying to cut down the amount of Kit-Kats and Cheez-It’s that I consume on my breaks at work, but I couldn’t figure out another snack that would be filling enough to hold me until lunch, yet healthy enough to make me feel like I wasn’t cheating on my healthy food goals. The answer I found? String cheese! Specifically, Sargento’s Light String Cheese- only 50 calories per serving and 15 percent of your day’s requirement for calcium and 6 grams of protein. I don’t even feel guilty if I eat two during my break- I know I’m still consuming less calories than I would with my candy bars and chips. Other good ideas for healthy snacks would be fruits and vegetables, almonds, or baked chips.
