Nutrition Expert Suggests Healthy Snack

First for Women has featured insight from Clinical Professor and Chair for the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Mindy Haar, Ph.D., RDN, in an article about the nutritional benefits of combining cottage cheese and fruit. With low-fat varieties of cottage cheese and fruits’ array of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, the combination proves a healthy snack.

“Cottage cheese is a good source of protein and [can] be a filling part of any meal,” says Haar. “As fruit brings a different set of nutrients to the mix, it’s a great complement to cottage cheese.”

Similar coverage was also featured in more than two dozen other news outlets, including The Fresno Bee, SunHerald, and The Olympian.
