What is string cheese?

String cheese may or may not be available to you, depending on where you live. It’s a mild cheese made with whole or part-skim milk and is very similar to mozzarella cheese. With that in mind, you can easily substitute string cheese with equivalent strips of mozzarella cheese. Provolone can also be a substitution here.

Recipe variations

Don’t let your lunch get boring! You can substitute different ingredients to keep things interesting and to make sure your body is absorbing all the nutrients. Switch slices of chicken out for turkey, ham, or roast beef. Some cheese substitutions are mentioned above. Other Keto nuts and seeds that can be used in your granola are cashews, pecans, and pumpkin seeds.

I don’t like raw avocado

Don’t like plain avocado? No problem! Although you won’t be able to substitute the avocado with a different fruit, you can substitute it with cubes of cheddar cheese. If you feel cheesed-out in this recipe already, try substituting the avocado with cubed zucchini sauteed in olive oil or coconut oil. You can drizzle extra virgin olive oil on any cooked veggies too.
