What is in your snack drawer at work?

I tend to keep snacks at my desk. This keeps me from roaming the downstairs cafeteria for chips or a cookie. My current stash consists of:

pistachios
almonds
cashews
rice cakes
peanut butter
Various forms of tea

Sometimes I also keep dry seaweed and usually have fruit or an avocado on hand. What do you keep on hand to keep you from passing out from hunger / seeking out junk food?

    I always have the mini 100 calorie microwave popcorn bags here. Maybe not the healthiest but I dump it out onto a paper plate and I get 3 heaping piles from each bag. So it seems like I am eating a lot, and it takes me a while to eat. That is by far my favorite snack at work! Otherwise I have string cheese and granola bars here at all times as well.

    I don't have a snack drawer at work. I work from home most of the time. My go-to snacks are either almond or soy nut butter, string cheese, dark chocolate, 100 cal chocolate pretzels, and protein shakes.

    Nothing... because I usually inhale it as soon as possible... no restraint, hence why I am here.... I usually bring things from home (ironically it moves slower through the house than in my desk drawer).
