Looking for some ideas for stuff to keep at work to get me through in a pinch. What's your healthy choice for a go to snack?

    Not a big snacker but I sometimes have pretzels with ranch dressing or a cup of low calorie hot cocoa in the afternoon.

    celery sticks with peanut butter (if you have a fridge). Just don't over-do it on the peanut butter.
    If no fridge...then a handful of raw almonds, and 2 squares of Lindt 85% Extra Dark cocoa.

    I try to avoid snacking because I find it easy to just keep grazing, so if I need something outside of a meal I want it to be fairly substantial.

    I usually end up getting some soup, or a half of a sandwich. I've started bringing in apples and that works OK, but I think adding some cheese would be better. A couple of hard boiled eggs make for a good substantial snack.

    Watermelon + feta cheese + sparkling water. I also would move a meal time up if it's close enough rather than snacking, but I kind of judge based on my hunger level.

    Fuji apples, and sometimes I make little chocolates that are around 50 calories each. ( they are two parts shredded coconut and one part chocolate measured out into the size of tsp)

    I eat early during the week because I wake early so like 6:30 is breakfast. By 9am I'm hungry again haha. Love Feta!

    My current workplace rotation:
    - almonds and few dried cranberries(preportioned)
    - protein bars if I have extra calories or want something candy bar like
    - dried edamame beans.
    - If you have access to a refrigerator, I highly recommend cheese and fruit.

    Pretty much always an apple/clementine/banana with some Greek yogurt, nuts, or nut/fiber bar of some sort (Nature Valley, Fiber One etc).
