Favorite snacks or "quick foods"

SaraJRosburg

I work in an office, and I do not want to hit up the vending machine. So I try to bring some items for snacks throughout the day...

What are some of your favorite healthy snack foods or quick on the go foods?

Sliced tomato, with some pepper and salt. Simple, and delicious.

coconut chips (just the plain toasted with nothing added). beef jerky. raw unsalted almonds. If I'm done eating for the day, some yogi tea (with or without coconut milk).

I'm a fan of just plain fruit. Helps w/fiber intake and always filling for me.

My cube neighbors probably hate me, but I eat pouches of tuna. Yup. Sometimes with mustard.

I love love love Emerald's 100 calorie cocoa almond packs. I get my chocolate fix but it keeps me full much better than a chocolate bar would.

100 calorie bags of popcorn. String cheese. Small pack of almonds. Carrots. Apple. Cherry tomatoes. Cucumber slices. Popcorn cakes. Popchips. Lots of water. Starbucks Via coffee. Green tea.

chocolate almonds (in moderation, like 4 or 5), fresh or dried fruit like apples, grapes, apricots, plums, other nuts, cottage cheese and veggies like carrots and celery, spoonful of peanut butter (mom would give me them as a kid, so good for a quick boost of good fat and protein when you need tiding over till supper).

Cocoa Rice crispies, Kellogg's Special K Pastry Crisps, banana, pretzels

im also a huge fan of pretzel sticks being used as a vehicle for trader joes speculoos cookie butter (regular or cocoa swirl...it doesn't matta).

I love the edamame steam packs that you can get at Costco or Sams. There is a ton of it, it is packed full of protein and I can munch on it slowly throughout the day. The entire steam pack is only 140 calories. I am eating it now actually..

Great idea!

Wholly guacamole. 100 calorie cups.

I portion out nuts and dry cereal (Fruit Loops!) and keep them at my desk for when I get hungry. The Fruit Loops are for when I really want candy/sugar and the nuts are a really good source of protein and healthy fats for when I just need "something". Half a serving of Fruit Loops is only 55 calories and an ounce of pistachios is 80.

I love my Graze boxes and getting to see what new snack I get to try! I tried Nature Box but didn't live those plus it was all stuff I can buy in the grocery store.

If anyone wants to try a free box of Graze use this code: JENNYD5FB

I think if enough people use my code I get a $1 off or something but no, I don't work for Graze, I'm just hooked on receiving these boxes!

I try and keep it healthy with fruits or a handful of nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts) or a yoghurt if I'm feeling like something extra sweet

klund13

almonds or Kind granola bars

I eat a serving of roasted pumpkin seeds (in the shell) every day. They help me meet my iron, fiber and protein goals, plus they're delicious. They are also really great for occupying my hands because I really have to work at eating them.

I keep snacks at my desk. Right now I have almonds, Good Bean crispy chick peas, wasabi peas and dry roasted edamame. I like crunchy.

I coupon, so sometimes I will stock up on snacks and leave them in my desk at work.

I like to bulk buy Nutrigrain or Nature Valley bars; they're a good snack for me when I need something small to tide me over between breakfast or lunch, or to bring to a meeting. I also like bringing in homemade bruschetta with Food Should Taste Good chips, or hummus and rosemary + olive oil wheat crackers.

Kid-sized snacks are awesome. I love Annie's bunnies. They're whole grain crackers (think- goldfish crackers) in different shapes. I also love goldfish crackers. The serving size is quite substantial. I buy a big container and package them into serving sizes myself.

FiberOne brownies are great. Last forever in your desk, prepackaged. Only 90 calories.

I've always wanted to buy the individual nutella dippers. They're pretty expensive on their own.

My office provides weekly fruit, so bananas, bosc pears, apples, and grapes are wonderful.

Hard boiled eggs are great. Make 5-10 on Sunday and you've got 1-2 a day for a work week. I keep a small ziplock of sea salt in my desk.

I don't like them, but a lot of my coworkers like gogurts/tubes of applesauce/food in tubes.

I started doing this recently...can't believe it took me so long to discover they're not just for breakfast, and are awesome snacks!

Satsumas!!! They are very refreshing and only 22 cals each.
You can have 4 in a row and not feel guilty

levitateme

I was totally going to recommend these, and you beat me to it These are great snacks for our kiddos as well.

My snack drawer is pretty amazing actually. I have habanero BBQ almonds, roasted cashews, trail mix, fruit/granola bars, protein bars, fiber bars, several flavors of protein powder (one scoop in a snack baggie), instant oatmeal, can of soup, good chocolate, sunflower seeds, granola, beef jerky, tea, mio, hot chocolate, several flavors of gum...... Then I can pick and choose what I want for calories/macros and none of it goes bad.
