YOU GUESS IT??
A Healthy Snack: String Cheese and Crackers
This Can You Guess It?? Photo is featured in the November/December 2006 Nebline Newsletter
After researching and
analyzing prices at a nearby
grocery store, the verdict is
this: if you are a savvy shopper,
you can purchase a variety of
healthful snack options at a
reasonable cost.
For example: Are pudding snacks a
standard fare at your house—
these may contribute some
calcium, but not as much as
the real thing made with milk.
Pudding snacks were priced
at $.37 to $.53/serving. Other
comparably priced options that
were higher in calcium would
be individual yogurt ($.44 to
$.55/serving) or individually
wrapped string cheese ($.25 to
$.35/stick).
Did you know two pieces of string cheese provides about one fourth of your daily calcium recommendation.
