Go-To Cheese Snacks!
The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges
Devoted readers are well aware that this is pretty much our favorite cheese item of all time. But while we're constantly extolling the virtues of the Light Creamy Swiss variety and its potential for world domination, it's important to remember the other light flavors: Blue Cheese, Garlic & Herb, French Onion, Queso Fresco & Chipotle, and Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil! Each wedge has just 35 calories and 1.5 - 2g fat (PointsPlus® value 1*)... and each deserves to be devoured at some point.
Light String Cheese
There isn't one specific brand we stick to -- we tend to get the kinds by Sargento, Weight Watchers, and Frigo. Look for light string cheese with 50 - 60 calories and about 2.5g fat per stick (PointsPlus® value 1*). The best-tasting light string cheese ever is Weight Watchers Smoked Flavor. YUM!!! P.S. String cheese isn't just for snacking; we use it in recipes all the time, either pulled into strings or shredded in a food processor or blender.
Mini Babybel
"Hungry Girl, you forgot to specify Light." Nope. Here's the thing: Mini Babybel Light does indeed rock, with just 50 calories and 3g fat (PointsPlus® value 1*). However, there are many great varieties of regular Mini Babybel, and the stats are good too: Each piece has 60 - 80 calories and 5 - 6g fat (PointsPlus® value 2*). Choose from White Cheddar, Gouda, and more. Love 'em!
