Healthy Snack Supply at Work

I eat bananas like they're going out of style. I also like string cheese.

For quick, healthy lunches, I bring in a baggy of cooked chicken or steak with carrots and zucchini. I precook a bunch of these on the weekends and then freeze them individually. I grab a baggy, a can of progresso soup with a matching flavor, and a piece of fruit. The baggy thaws in my lunch box and keeps my fruit cool, then I put the soup and extras in a glass bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes until its hot (stir every minute). I bring in leftovers or sandwiches sometimes too, but this is the fastest and healthiest.

Snacks: lower sugar apple cinnamon oatmeal, Quest bars, cans of soup, Fiber One protein bars, protein powder in several flavors (preportioned in baggies), cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, chocolate, hard candy, sugar free gum in several flavors, sugar free Hawaiian punch packets, hot chocolate, and tea. I'd like to have jerky, but it's expensive and only lasts three days after opening, so you have to be ready to eat all 3 servings. Boiled eggs, string cheese, or deli meat would be nice if I could leave it in the work fridge until I needed it, but it's cleaned out every night.

Hope that helps!

I like having Kashi bars at work. I also have a stash of edamame and wasbi peas.

Bell Vita biscuits are lower in sugar and store fine in a drawer... i also cut up a buch of fruit on Sunday...Measure it out and then put in ziplocs so I can grab and run every morning

I just posted this to another thread like this a couple days ago, so I just copied and pasted here

I am a mom of two kids that is a planning a wedding and works full time, hence I have no time for anything, lol. So, while I would love to prepare my food on Sunday for the following week, I usually try to work out or spend time with kids instead. So, my usual method is go to the store that's 2 minutes away from my work on Monday during my lunch break and get a ton of healthy stuff for the week for my lunches. This is what is usually on my grocery list:

- shredded cheese and reduced fat triscuits (put them together and pop in the microwave, YUM)
- the mixed bag of veggies (usually carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli)
- Bolthouse ranch dressing (45 cals/ 2 tblsp)
- Greek yogurt (the Yoplait 100 cals are really good)
- fruit salad (the already made ones that they put in the plastic containers)
- almonds
- protein bars (quest are good, but there are always so many different ones to try which makes it fun, lol)
- chicken salad (they may not have this at a CVS, but I go to the grocery store and its really good there)
- pretzals
- baby bell reduced fat cheese (this goes great with apples for a snack)
- Canned Tuna
- Vanilla Almond milk and protein powder (makes a great snack together)

Those are just a few ideas of some things you can fix up quickly. This is my life, so if you need any more tips, just ask, lol

I eat fruit as snacks a lot. I tend to go through fruit "stages" but right now it's cuties and watermelon. I also keep string cheese or babybel light. I also subscribe to 100/120 calorie popchip/popchip tortilla bags on amazon, and eat that instead of regular chips. I like that they're single serving size, and the tortilla ones have allowed me to stop eating doritos (they trigger a binge for me).

My current favorite is dannon light greek yogurt with 1/3 or 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder. If you mix it up enough, it tastes like cake. Mmmmm CAKE.

I like greek yogurt with a handful of blueberries.
PB with Celery
i try to mix protein with a fruit or veggie.

I keep celery, apples and plain greek yogurt in the fridge. I mix fresh blueberries and stevia in my greek yogurt. Less sugar than those with the fruit already in the cup.
At my desk is PB2, Mary's Gone Crackers Sticks and Twigs Organic Pretzels, Beanitos chips, Special K Protein Plus Cereal.
I eat the cereal dry when I am having a sweet crunchy craving.
I make a protein shake "candy" out of my chocolate protein, coconut oil, crushed almonds and unsweetend coconut flakes for my chocolate craving days.
