    Purchase a small insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. I bring lunch/snacks every day to work this way. I have lots of cottage cheese, cut up apples, pears, bananas, and applesauce this way:)

    Grapes are a great idea, but try them frozen. It's like ice cream, mmmmmmmmm! :tongue:

    Today I have a banana and about a millions calories of assorted Indian sweets because the counter set up in my local supermarket for Diwali was too much temptation for me to resist yesterday evening.

    Fruit.
    Snack a Jacks.
    Mini oatcakes.
    Graze boxes.
    Veg crisps.

    I love Graze!! Got one of their "Cookies & Cream" in my drawer at moment :smile:
    Agree with all above though - chocolate snack-a-jacks are gorgeous!

    I'm weird, but I like my cheese are room temp. So I snack on cheese, and mini dill pickles. Can you pack a little cooler with a ice pack in it?

    I use an insulated lunchbag and put some cold/frozen items in which keeps everything cold. I eat the perishables in the morning typically and then non perishables in the afternoon. Some of my favorites:

    Coconut chia pudding
    Yogurt with frozen fruit (keeps the yogurt cold til I'm ready to eat it and by then the fruit is defrosted)
    Cut up fruit
    Cut up veggies
    String cheese
    Laughing cow wedge or peanut butter or almond butter with toasted wheat bread, wasa crackers, english muffin, etc
    Air popped popcorn
    Almonds


    Feel free to check out my diary...I'm a BIG snacker most days

    How about a tiny icepack in a little plastic bag so you can bring along a chunk of cheese or container of yogurt. Get some protein and calcium.

    Lots of vegies do just fine without being cold. Carrots, cauliflower, broccoli. Fruits like apples, bananas, oranges. A handful of pretzels and a handful of vegies taste good together.

    the almonds are good, but do get old after awhile. How about walnuts, cashews, raisins, golden raisins... mixed together or when you finish a container of one, swap it out for another on the list

    I weigh out 30 grams of Macadamia nuts and put them in a bag. Not the lowest cals but very tasty and I believe pretty good for you.

    Get one of those little insulated cooler lunch bags, they work great when there isn't a fridge handy.

    My go to snacks: tuna, boiled eggs, cheese sticks, veggies with hummus, deli roll ups (turkey with a slice of cheese) avocado, or a chocolate protein shake if I want something sweet.

    Fruit - I mix it up a lot so I don't get bored.

    Carrots and celery with low-fat humous (or home-made)

    Seafood sticks

    Zuchinni tots

    One of my more recent favourites is toasted chickpeas! Wash them, remove the skins and roll them around in a bit of oil (I use the cooking spray - much lower in cals) then roast them for about 20 mins (make sure they don't burn). When they come out sprinkle salt and whatever seasoning you like (I prefer cajun) and then I eat them cold the next day. They are lovely and low in cals :)

    Does anyone have suggestions for some at work snacks? I don't have a refrigerator and the never ending box/can of almonds is getting a little bit old. Anyone else have some good healthy snack ideas?

    I keep some Fiber One 90 cal chewy bars in my desk for when the carb cravings hit me. Also like my fruit, nuts, yogurt, jello, etc.
