Snack with morning coffee at my desk

While I have no answers for your question, I too face the same dilemma. But I'm ready for some good answers.

Raw almonds and a piece of fruit is my first go to choice. I keep the raw almonds in my desk drawer & bring whatever fresh fruit I have at home each day.
For a change up I will have oatmeal or yogurt with chia seeds.

I like something with coffee as a snack also. I usually bring to work 1 slice whole grain bread with almond butter and all fruit jelly. I like a bread textured type item with my coffee. Sometimes I have a Quest protein bar. They have all different flavors.

cuties, bananas, single pop tart, english muffin, hard boiled eggs, avocado on toast, oatmeal, grits, yogurt, greek yogurt, pre-cooked chicken or turkey,

Hmmm, I posted but it isn't showing, so apologies if this is a double post. Anyway, I was just saying that I'm not sure why a granola bar with coffee won't work. That's my "go to" breakfast. I prefer the Kashi brand chewy bars because they tend to have lower sugar and a higher protein to calorie ratio than other brands. In particular, I like the Chewy Dark Mocha Almond because it has 130 calories and 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.

Baby Bell cheeses are also very transportable (like string cheese) and go nicely with a piece of bread or fruit (or on their own).

I love cheese in general for my second breakfast. I sometimes use homemade protein energy bites or fruit.

I'm looking for a morning snack to go with my coffee at work. I used to eat a croissant, then switched to granola type bars, but these will not work with weight loss. Do you have any good recipes? or snacks that is easy to transport and are good with a coffee?

Why won't those work with weight loss? Croissants, or granola bars, or both?

Anything that fits within your calorie goal "works for weight loss"....

I eat a bag of almonds I get from sam's club. Not really low cal (220) but I think its better for me that those snack bars. I can here the "a calorie is a calorie" gang revving their engines.

If you feel it's better in the context of your own diet, nobody is going to argue against that.

Fewer calories than a croissant? That works with coffee

2 Oreos...108
3 Mcvities Rich Tea...110
Multipack of walkers pops ...16g ...85
Custard doughnut ...230
Half a croissant ...100
(One is a lie)

What about a cronut?

I don't understand why your granola bar won't work with coffee? I've been eating pretty much this for the last 5 months and have lots 27 lbs. Each morning I look forward to my 90 calorie Walmart chocolate chip granola bar with 20-32 gm of Great Value Peanut butter on top and also have a banana and my coffee with 1 tbs half & half. Eat what you like and make it work within your calorie budget. That's the beauty of this!!
