Healthy snacks at work

bexym2013

Hi just wondering what people would recommend to take to work as a healthy snack? I work in an office & struggle with snacking during the day. Any suggestions?

Cashew or celery here

I just ate a mozzarella cheese stick. It's about 80 calories, but boy, does the protein hold you. I also like a serving of almonds. An apple. Protein bar. A serving size baggie of plain cheerios or other healthy high fiber cereal.

I eat a banana with PB2, Cottage cheese with fresh fruit, or sometimes the airpop popcorn

I found that if I had snacks in my office, I'd usually eat them (all of them!) so I prefer to just have a filling breakfast before work and then a filling lunch at work.

A long time ago I used to pack one fruit serving and one vegetable serving with dip (hummus or light ranch) when I packed my lunch. That works too, but I can't just have a bag of "emergency" food because I will eat it all every time.

Like @Queenmunchy, I cannot have an unlimited supply of snacks at my desk - I eat them all because they are there. I usually pack myself a snack (or two) depending on what I have for lunch and what my mood tells me I might want. Today, I packed a 30g serving of pecan halves. Friday, I had a sliced apple with a serving of Nutella. Sometimes, it's some carrots with a serving of hummus or light ranch dressing. More often than not, though, I pack myself a single-serving of some kind of nut in a tiny reusable container to have mid-morning since I eat breakfast around 6am, and don't have lunch until noon.

I have started eating baby carrots and sweet peppers with hummus. Its fillng and you don't need much hummus, so you dont have to worry about the fat creeping up on you. Also i like pop chips if i need that guilty but not so guilty pleasure. 20 chips, about an ounce, is a serving size. I hope this helps.

cracker with tuna
apple, grapes
yogurt with fruits
peanut butter oatmeal bar
baked flavoured cracker chips
choc chip cookies or choc filled sandwich biscuit
almonds, cashews
a slice of bread with tuna/cheese/nutella spread (whichever i feel like having that day. most of the time, its nutella )

It's not a snack per se,but sometimes when I know I'm going to have a big lunch or dinner, I just drink plenty of water throughout the day. It keeps my stomach full for some time. Also, dates. Boy, will they keep you full for some time.

I have celery, broccoli florets and a fat-free ranch dip that I make...16 oz fat-free sour cream and one packet of the dry Ranch dip packets. Mix together and it is delicious! I actually crave the celery and ranch dip!

I do this, too! Sometimes I add in a serving (15 g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Half of a large honeycrisp apple with a tablespoon of crunchy PB

I snack often throughout the day! Keeps me feeling full and decreasees my chances of binging. I like to opt for cottage cheese & tomatoes, Snappea Crisps, fruits (apples, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, etc.), hummus and carrots, yogurt and protein bars!

I keep nut’s and protein bars in my draws at work. It makes it uncomfortable to sit but they are there when I need them. ;-)

I've been snacking on Skinny Pop Popcorn, and grapes. I also keep some Cliff Bars in my desk to satisfy my sweet craving. Goodness Knows Bars are also one of my favs right now!! Its apple, almond and peanuts with a dark chocolate bottom.

I usually have an 80-cal Dannon Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of granola. They have great flavors.
