- Dried Fruit: Fantastic option for fending off hunger, dried fruits work great by themselves or mixed with nuts.
- Seeds: Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are a satisfying snack, but they won't weigh you down.
- Hardboiled Eggs: Disclaimer: don't eat these at your desk unless you want to make enemies out of your fellow cubicle dwellers. Hardboiled eggs are a great energy food because they're packed with lean protein. Try them with hot sauce.
- Granola: You don't need to eat a lot of granola to get a second wind, but be sure to avoid the kind that's coated with a thick sheen of sugar.
- Veggies: Raw vegetables make great snacks because they can be paired with an infinite number of tasty spreads. Try spicy salsa or a creamy yogurt-based dip.
- Peanut Butter: Peanut butter (or almond butter) offers the same benefits as raw nuts, just with a silkier texture. Throw some on top of an English muffin, or even better a few apple slices.
- Fresh Fruit: Fruit equals fiber, and fiber equals energy. Take an apple to work or whip up a salad the night before work.
- Popcorn: Popcorn (the kind you DON'T get at the movies) provides a satisfying, crunchy alternative to empty-calorie snacks like potato chips
- Nuts: Yes, nuts are the most obvious choice on this list, but for good reason. Brimming with plant-based protein and healthy monounsaturated fats, few foods pack such power. Eat them straight out of the container or make your own variety.
- Bran Muffins: Carbs can be tricky: stuff yourself with the wrong kind and you might wake up face down on your keyboard. Bran muffins, on the other hand, will keep you full without making you drowsy. You can freeze a batch and take one at a time with you to work for an ideal afternoon snack.
Have a nice day! :)
