String Cheese

Why it’s the Big Cheese:

Whether it’s bright orange or pale yellow, there is something about cheese that puts a smile on a child’s face. Add a fun activity like peeling, into the mix, and you’ve got the making of a very fun afternoon. Most brands of string cheese use semisoft mozzarella and are an excellent source of calcium.

• If you are concerned about the high sodium level, you can soak the cheese in water to remove some of the salt.

• Hearty breakfast choices: give your family a good start to the morning.
