Need snack ideas!

leigh4244

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has any snack ideas?
I work at a desk and really it needs to be something I can pre prepare (ideally in bulk or night before)
I work in a solicitors so as you can understand having loads of food and containers on my desk is frowned upon! Haha
I'm grateful for any ideas you all may have

Have you tried just sticking to three bigger meals a day? It would make the work situation easier, and mean less prep for you!

I found this on MFP a while back, they are YUMMY. I usually double the recipe to make larger muffins. I bake a batch every weekend and freeze them.

Ingredients:
1 cup mashed banana (usually 2 small VERY VERY ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3 tablespoons all while liquid egg whites, or 1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup of sugar

I'm a snacker, cherry tomatoes, peppers, carrots and celery all cut up, dipped in hummes or salsa.

Dried fruit is good and not so messy, I also like pistachios and almonds.

Morrisons do smal snack bags, they're 2 for £1 and I take them to work. My faves are the seed mix, cranberries and macademia nuts and pistachio. They are quite high calorie, but much healthier than the crisps which I crave.

I do fruit cups of red grapefruit, bought at the store, pre-packaged. I also like the 100 calorie snacks and Special K snacks. Small bags, no mess, no fuss, easy if you are in a hurry and have no time to prep. But on days when I have time to prep, I do the bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots with fat free ranch or italian dressing.

I make my own protein bars. The Internet is full of ideas for homemade protein bars and it takes about 10 minutes to make a batch that will last a week.

You can add your own ingredients to fit your taste.

Protein bars (since these are packaged nicely and never really get old I always keep them around for when I am suddenly starving, have to work through lunch, or have to work late)
Mixed nuts & dry fruit & pumpkins seeds
Granola (extra good if you can keep some yogurt in the work fridge and mix them together)
Fruit + Peanut Butter (i like apples or bananas and peanut butter- yum)
Veggies + Hummus

I love cutting up bananas and putting peanut butter between them. Like a miny sandwich. Grapes, almonds, cashews, I have even eaten a pre packed egg before lol. Hope it helps.

billsica

I bring two oranges, apple and two hard boiled eggs.

I love the banana and peanut butter idea! Sound delicious! Xx

leigh4244

Thank you for the ideas everyone! Really appreciate it xx

- Buy nuts, seeds, and dried fruit (no sugar added - I like cranberries) in bulk and make your own healthy Trail Mix
- fruit (apples, bananas, clementines, etc)
- yogurt
- apple or banana with peanut butter

Good luck!

Chia or hemp seeds are good, drink water with though.

Homemade hummus ... It's really simple and cheap to make & you can alter endlessly to suit your own taste. Dip with raw veggies or whole wheat crackers.

I make dehydrated apples weekly and mix with nuts. A good homemade trail mix is not only packed with protein, but will fill you up. Also, perhaps cheese sticks would be filling for you.
