Snack Ideas for the Office?

If you are looking for snacks you can store at your desk, here’s a few ideas:

-raw nuts (pick a few of your favorites, decide on your portions and make snack bags for yourself)
-dried fruits (same as nuts; pick your favorites and make snack bags)
-bananas (buy them green so they will keep for a while)
-organic teas
-raw honey (I will eat a little taste from a spoon and add the rest to my tea)

Snacks to store in the refrigerator:

-clean and chopped raw veggies (broccoli, carrots, zucchini etc.)
-raw almond butter
-hummus
-coconut water
-homemade dressings (much healthier and more flavorful than prepackaged stuff)

Also, if you know a special event is coming up and sweets will be served, prepare ahead of time. Consider some of the following:

-organic dark chocolate bars (you can break off a few squares when you feel the need for something sweet)
-Lara Bars (I love Apple Pie, but they have a wide variety to pick from)
-frozen banana dipped in a homemade chocolate sauce (making it homemade allows you to control the sugar content)
-frozen banana “ice cream” (Take a frozen banana, chop it and put it in the blender or food processor. This will turn into a creamy, ice-cream like consistency. You can store it in the freezer at work. You can also add raw cocoa powder, raw honey, organic maple syrup, nuts, fruit etc. to change it up and make it an extra-special treat.)

Good luck on your journey!

I buy some fruit for the week and keep it in my lunch bag in the community fridge. But I also have Emerald Mixed Nuts, Quaker Oats Quakes, and usually some kind of chips form the Organic aisle, like Late July Dude Ranch chips.

i say creamfields cheese dippers or velvet brand crisps.

You can probably always improvise. An Indian market would have it or probably something like Whole Foods would too.

If you have a sweet tooth, then sugar free candy is good. I like the Werther's candies in the variety of flavors. Sugar free jolly ranchers are good too. Maybe pair the carrotts with hummus. You could make that even yourself and it would be a lot cheaper than buying it. Depending on the diet you are doing, you could get some baked chips or crackers (Whole grain chips) are great with salsa too. Peanut butter and nuts are yummy also, or some dark chocolate - like the Ghiradeli's intense Twilight Chocolate.

Mmmm these sound yummy! I've always wanted to make my own hummus but I have no clue where to get tahini sauce lol
