Why this works
A very low-carbohydrate, protein-containing snack that is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium due to the ham and cream cheese.
Protein from ham. Ham contributes a useful amount of protein, which supports satiety and muscle maintenance.
High sodium content. Ham and hot sauce make this dish quite salty, so it may not suit a low-salt diet.
Saturated fat from cream cheese. Cream cheese adds creaminess but also increases saturated fat, which is worth moderating if you are watching cholesterol.
Method
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the mustard and hot sauce until smooth and evenly combined.
- Lay the ham slices out on a clean board and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice.
- Roll up the ham tightly, then slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving plate and chill for 5 minutes before serving, if you like them firmer.
