How to build a healthy cheese board

I love a good cheese plate. It’s my go-to starter for dinner parties and few weekends go by without an epic snack plate, even if it’s just for two. However, just like everything else, you can have too much of a good thing and there’s nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable full before the main course even hits the table. Here are my evidence-based tips for creating an impressive and delicious healthy cheese board…

• 1. Swap processed meat for nuts
• 2. Try hummus or guacamole instead of pate
• 3. Load up on fruit and veggies like baby carrots, bell pepper slices, apple slices, grapes, strawberries...
• 4. Go for whole-grain crackers with >3g fiber per serving
• 5. Pick your two favorite cheeses and pre-slice
