🧀 What’s actually in a serving of cheese? Let’s break it down for an average adult daily needs (70kg).
A single 40g serving gives you:
💪 14% of your daily protein, for strong muscles
🦴 30% of your daily calcium, for healthy bones and teeth
🛡️ 15% of your daily zinc, supporting your immune system and skin
👀 17% of your daily vitamin A, for your eyesight and immune system
⚡ Plus 12% vitamin B2, which supports metabolism and skin health
All that in one small serving. That’s what we call a nutritional overachiever. 😉
☀️ Summer snacking tip: Cheese is one of the easiest ways to add protein to a picnic spread or snack board. Pair it with crackers, fresh fruit or crunchy veggies for a snack that keeps you going through long, sunny afternoons. And don’t forget, 40g of cheese counts as one of your 3-a-Day dairy servings.
