Favorite snacks or "quick foods"

missiontofitness

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!

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!

Gonna try it out!

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..

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.

Right now on my desk I have pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Kirkland unsalted nut mix, beet chips, pork rinds (great low carb snack), a jar of peanut butter.

I also have a drawer with more like a snack baggy with protein powder serving, plantain chips, a can of oysters, and jerky.

I like to have options for a snack or additions to my lunches, or enough to make a good lunch if I forget to pack one.

Apple slices or celery with a 1/2 of a Jiff to go cup or carrots and ranch. These can be purchased pre-packaged or you can package them yourself ahead of time. Also, mini rice cake poppers by Quaker, fruit, yogurt, mini bags of popcorn and granola bars.

We are on a low carb, high protein and none of these are too bad.

Thank you for posting the code. I had not heard of Graze.com until I saw this thread. Signed up last night and am anticipating the first box!

Almonds, Quest Bars. boiled eggs, pickles, olives, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, Progresso Soup, protein powder, apple, cucumber slices, jerky, Baby-Bel cheeses. These are just a few that I use frequently. It does keep me on track and I don't go to the vending machine. Blender Bottle has stack packs which I bought a couple of and they work well for a variety of snacks. (Saves on fridge space at work too instead of a larger lunch box.)
