Foods to keep in work fridge

tessalynn03

Hi all! I am a teacher and am able to keep a small refrigerator and microwave in my classroom. I want to stock it with healthy foods so that I can grab a quick, healthy snack between classes and during lunch. What would you recommend? I already keep water and cheese sticks in there. Thanks!

I keep 2 percent cottage cheese big bucket...I eat it with every meal ...fills up and has protein.....also keep flavored greek yogurt....waldens salad dressing....maybe some almond milk unsweetened is only 30 cal per cu p....

Aloevera drinks are pretty good ...so are pure protein shakes...ostrich jerky sticks....bottle water...quest protein bars are great

Yogurt or cottage cheese for instant protein.
Hummus.
Whole-grain pita bread.
carrot sticks, celery sticks.
Apples.
Grapes.

Keep a jar of unsalted nuts in your desk.


I am a teacher, too. Those are my staples. It covers sweet, savory, smooth, and crunchy. And I find the small fridges keep stuff fresh for quite a while as they don't take long to re-cool after opening. (until the seals start to go, but that is a story for another time...)

I bought a 16 oz blocky thing of low fat turkey ham and 8oz of reduced fat cheese, cut it all into little half-inch cubes and divided it into bags of 4oz each for easy snacks. 160 calories, 9g of fat and I think 23g of protein per 4oz serving. It really hits the spot in the middle of the day and helps me get my protein totals up. It's a little high in sodium, but I bet I could find a low-sodium turkey ham if I looked.

If the mini-fridge has a freezer section, Purdue Short cuts chicken is good to have on hand. The whole bag is 315 Calories and 60g protein.
