Work snack Ideas

SaraLeland

My work has cookies, ice cream, and candy everywhere [I take care of old nuns and they love their sweets!!] I need to start bringing snacks so I eat less or none of the food there. I would love to hear ideas

If they have a fridge, I like roast beef and string cheese as a snack

Fruits, 100 cal snacks, string cheese, almonds. Hope this helps.

I buy frozen fruit.. measure a couple servings out & keep them in the fridge to thaw & eat em throughout the day!

Honey- roasted Almonds are a fantastic snack.

gahhh!! That would be soo hard not to nibble their sweets.... I bring apples or grapes and often have some Nature Valley bars on hand (if I absolutely need them and know I will work out later) in my drawer at work. Sometimes I bring in Triscuits and try to stay within their serving size when I need a snack. Frozen blueberries + greek yogurt is also a good power snack I pack for myself sometimes.

I know it's not the usual, but a hard boiled egg actually fills me up really well for a good couple of hours. If you can put up with the smell.

cottage cheese with honey roasted cashews, is what i eat for snacks, as well as fresh fruit or yogurt.

I can't see whereabouts you are, but if you are in the UK try Boots Shapers blueberry yogurt bars if you have a sweet tooth. I really like them (probably more than chocolate!) and they only have 89 calories. Yummy

I munch on beef jerky - I know it's not to everyones taste but I love it. The one I eat is about 160 cals for the whole packet - it's low in fat and gives me half of my protein for the day

I don't know if it would really be a snack - but a protein bar (I like to eat chocolate/peanut butter ones!) keep me full for awhile. If you're full, you won't be so tempted by their snacks.

I eat a "Honey Almond Granola" mix if I get the urge at work. It's from "Nature's Mix", but I think it's only sold locally.

It would be really easy to put together yourself though; the ingredients are:
Oats, almonds, raisins, dried currants, honey, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower seeds and cinnamon

I'm a big fan of beef jerky and apples. Kind bars (I actually SUBSCRIBE to bulk Kind Bars on Amazon). Hardboiled eggs.

apple, banana, string cheese, hard boiled egg, chobani, protein bar, put a scoop of protein in a shaker cup and add water when your ready to drink, wasa crackers & turkey.

my office always has a ton of sweet treats celebrating different occassions.. i havent given into temptation once!

Thanks for all the ideas, I went out and stocked up on some of them I appreciate it.

This isn't going to sound great, but I really like it and it keeps me from the sweets. Kelloggs makes a little bites size frosted shredded wheat. A half serving is 25 pieces. I put them in a baggie and munch on them whenever I need a little something sweet while at work. There's enough sweetness that it's easier to stay away from the cookies and such, but at least there are a few vitamins and roughage in there.

I usually snack on baby carrots and blueberries. and if I have it in my house, pineapple and apple slices. if you don't have fruits or veggies, I find just chewing on a piece of minty gum works at making my cravings go away.
