Snacking at the office

ID-100122782

Snacks are an important part of a daily diet for most people.

Snacking can keep our energy up so we can better focus and be productive. It also keeps us from becoming over-hungry and subsequently overeating and/or making poor food choices. But if we are eating chips or candy every day at 3pm, we will suffer the consequences (weight gain for one).

I have compiled a list of snacks for eating at the office. Some are suitable only if you have access to a refrigerator. Hope you are inspired and stop visiting that vending machine!

  • Cottage Cheese (w/fruit and/or nuts, or by itself)
  • Yogurt
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Nut-butters (w/fruit, veggies, crackers)
  • Nuts
  • Cheese (babybel, string cheese, slices) w/whole grain crackers
  • Edamame
  • Turkey (or other deli meat) roll ups
  • Tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad
  • Jerkey (nitrate free Brands: Krave, PerkyJerky)
  • Veggies:
  • cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas
  • w/hummus
  • Oatmeal (single serving bowls)
  • Soup
  • Whole grain cereal and Milk
  • Hummus and crackers/pita/veggies
  • Fruit
  • Popcorn
  • Chips, salsa and guacamole
  • Bars:
    • Let’s face it, bars are easy and portable. But not always healthy. Here are the guidelines to follow when picking a good bar:
    • 10-15gm protein
    • 5 gm of fiber
    • less than 15 gm of sugar
    • as few ingredients as possible
    • whole food ingredients
    • ex: Luna bars
    • make your own!
