Health Snacks to have at work?

Hi...what are some good suggestions for healthy snacks to get me through the afternoon? Need to be able to measure calories, etc...Thanks!

Dill pickles are always a good snack. They are calorie free and have a good crunch.

apples, oranges, greek yogurt - i also keep oatmeal, but you would need a bowl/microwave.

Snicker bars are good--(jk). Apples, almonds, yogurt, granola bars, lite popcorn, carrots.

I like to have a serving and a half of mixed nuts. The protein in them helps me stave of hunger pangs and stay full longer. Just don't eat too many because they're higher in calories and fat. Also try of the unsalted variety of mixed nuts for lower sodium intake. I don't understand why they put salt in there in the first place because nuts are good without it.

Plain greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, skim mozzarella cheese stick, apples. I'd stay away from nuts unless you're able to stick to a serving, which is 12 nuts. :drinker:

Smart pop popcorn single serve bags.

Larabars. Some flavors are awesome... they taste more like a treat than a snack, and are pretty healthy overall. They are easy to keep in a drawer at work.

greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, roasted pumpkin seeds, almonds, carrots n hummus etc. You can always portion out properly at home

If you're the type that likes to munch, 1 cup of seedless grapes is great!

I keep small, single serving boxes of raisins at my desk. Also, Shredded Wheat Little Bites. 12 is a quarter serving - I toss them on my desk and munch as time permits.

raw almonds are one of my favorite. I usually pair that with an apple or banana and I am good to go until dinner.

I'm a cook, so I'm either really lucky or really unlucky depending on how you look at snacking at work. Any day where I feel like I'm going to be munchy all day, I'll weigh out a bowl of grapes and keep them at my station, or cut up 100g - 200g of celery sticks and munch on those throughout my shift, really helps, because during a rush, if I haven't eaten in a while, I might reach for some homefries or something I haven't measured.
