If you work at a desk all day, having something simple and healthy to snack on can really make a difference in both your productivity and energy levels. Although a candy bar is easy to eat, the sugar high and crash will leave you in slump. Stocking up on these snacks is sure to make an impact (just make sure your colleagues don’t take them all).
Seeds
No one likes the co-worker that is chomping down on greasy food while working. It can cause unwanted messes and headaches from the sound. A snack that is the complete opposite of this? Seeds. They are relatively quiet to eat and can’t destroy your laptop if you accidentally spill a few. Plus they have a a high level of protein to keep you fuller throughout the day.
Low-Salt Jerky
If you eat meat, one of the most convenient snack options that is full of protein is jerky. Find a version that is lower in salt, and you have a healthy, easy-to-eat snack for the workplace. Some versions even come in different flavors like barbecue and spicy, so you can avoid having routine.
DIY Trail Mix
You don’t have to plan a hiking trip to take advantage of this yummy snack. Trail Mix is a great option for work, with the best part being that that YOU decide the blend. To make one large stash, get a jar and combine dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate chips together for a long term supply. To keep yourself from over-snacking, try packing your trail mix into portion sized snack bags or containers. If you don’t want to deal with creating your own mix, there are also several healthy trail mixes pre-made available to purchase.
Dry Roasted Seaweed
Seaweed isn’t just for underwater creatures to enjoy! Dry roasted seaweed has a crunchy, salty taste that is much healthier than their counterpart, chips. Store a pack of these at your work and you’ll get a daily dose of numerous vitamins and minerals. You’ll feel better about your snacking choices and be properly refueled to power through your job assignments.
