Healthy Snacks for the Office

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Snacking may be a critical facet of your diet. If you go too long without food you may overeat during mealtimes which leads to more weight. For those sitting behind a desk, being mindful of what you eat is extremely important. Instead of reaching for fatty foods or a candy bar, there are a few healthy office snacks that you could have around.

Chocolate Covered Edamame

Packed with antioxidants, dietary fiber, and protein, this is the perfect chocolate snack treat. Since this snack is crunchy and semi-sweet, your cravings will be covered and so will your appetite.

Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut Granola Bars

The protein (4 grams per bar) will keep you full, and the fact there is no cholesterol, no Trans Fat, and is made with all-natural ingredients makes these bars healthy. Plus, they’re tasty, especially the peanut bars.

Ants on a Log

A classic office snack, all you need is celery, peanut butter, and raisins. If you want variations, you can try adding honey, substituting peanut butter with cream cheese, or substituting raisins with currants.
