Healthy Hearts of Palm "mozzarella sticks"

Okay, okay, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first decided to make these "mozzarella sticks." I mean, how could they possibly taste good and be guilt-free at the same time? But to my surprise, they turned out to be amazing! With only 30 calories per stick, it's a win-win situation. And on top of that, they are packed with fiber, potassium, and calcium. It's like a healthy snack dream come true. And the best part? You can dip them in your favorite marinara sauce, just like regular mozzarella sticks. The secret ingredient is hearts of palm, which act as the "mozzarella" and the taste is absolutely phenomenal. Trust me, you won't even miss the real thing.

3. In another shallow dish, add the milk
