When I was seven, I housed an entire wheel of brie at a family friend\u2019s get-together.) But is cheese actually good for kids?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sarah Koszyk, MA, RDN, NBC-HWC is a registered dietitian, sports nutritionist, and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/365-Snacks-Every-Day-Year\/dp\/1539158926\" target=\"_blank\">365 Snacks for Every Day of the Year<\/a>.

Their soft, spreadable texture makes it great for crackers or veggies, or even tossing in a lunchbox. They also come in different flavors, like everything bagel and garlic and herb. A wedge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelaughingcow.com\/product\/creamy-original-wedges\/\" target=\"_blank\">Laughing Cow<\/a> has about 45 calories, 2g of protein, and 2.5g of saturated fat, Koszyk says, which isn\u2019t bad, but also isn\u2019t as protein-rich as some of the other cheeses on our list. And if you\u2019re trying to cut down on processed foods, keep in mind that Laughing Cow contains some food additives like protein concentrate and an emulsifier, sodium phosphate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Babybel<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"sqs-block-image-figure              intrinsic\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img data-stretch=\"false\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2000x1333\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"\" data-load=\"false\" elementtiming=\"system-image-block\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel cheese.jpg?format=1000w\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw\" onload='this.classList.add(\"loaded\")' srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel cheese.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/4e7cb6e8-e4ea-4a1d-afde-a85381e12467\/Babybel+cheese.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-loader=\"sqs\"><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"\">Babybel cheese<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Instantly recognizable by its red wax coating, Babybel is a two things: a nutritious snack and an interactive activity.

It has a mild taste and is fun to peel. As for the nutrition, it can vary across the board depending on what kind of cheese is being used, says Koszyk. But she says most string cheese average about 80 calories, 7 grams of protein, and 3.5g saturated fat \u2014 so around the same fat content as Babybel and Laughing Cow, but with around double the protein, making it the healthiest choice of the pre-packaged bunch.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, cheese was a childhood staple.
