Snacking Smart at the Office

Wil Reagan — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:04:08 +0000

At the office, you might find yourself buying snack food from the vending machines. These types of snacks add empty calories with no real nutritional value. The best way to fight the temptation of the chips, candy and soda in vending machines is to have another type of snack on hand. Here are some simple healthy snacks that are perfect for the office.

In your office desk drawer, store:

Almonds and other nuts (eat only a small handful)
Canned fruit (packed in water)
Granola
Instant oatmeal
Microwave soup cups (low sodium broths)
Microwave popcorn (no butter or salt)
Peanut butter (eat a Tbsp with crackers)
Raisins (mini-boxes)
Whole grain, low sodium crackers
100-calorie snack packs

In your office refrigerator, keep:

Apples, oranges and other fresh fruit
Hard boiled eggs
Non-fat yogurt or pudding
Single serving canned juice
Sliced carrots and celery

Snacking isn’t a bad thing as long as you snack smart. Don’t starve yourself between meals, instead reach for one of the above snacks. These are delicious snacks that can give you some energy and vitamins without a lot of sugar or salt. Also be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
