I have already done it a couple of times. Probably me too. You run out the door late for work in the morning and completely forget that you have a day and snacks. Figure out how to buy yourself a lunch, a salad, a bowl of soup. There is no lake.
The problem occurred somewhere between 2 and 4 p.m. later that day, when your strength is low and you are ready to call it a day, and, what is worst, your stomach has no memory of eating what you roasted three or so hours ago (you decided to forget the salad that day). So, you turn to your trusty vending machine and opt for a Snickers you think at least has peanuts.
Looking at what to eat takes a bit of pre-measurement and thought, as the fridge and freezer are stocked with food that can be caught by storm doors. These foods are also ready to satisfy your hunger when you are at home between meals. So while this is a list of the top 10 healthiest snacks to take to work, the same list of snacks should be consulted when grabbing cookies or candy bars .
1. String Cheese: An instant pick-me-up that requires no preparation time and is a good source of calcium. Just peel it off the packet, eat it quickly, and you’re instantly fired up about the rest of your day’s work. I find no distinction between name brands or supermarket knocking by taste. I mean, skip brand names and save money by going healthy.
2. Mini Salad: Here’s a simple idea. When you do your grocery shopping at the grocery, get a bag of grilled chicken, one can of Caesar Maria. Lettuce served and bag pre-washed and pre-cut the hearts of the Roman people. These supplies should be enough to get you through the week. You can mix a small bowling green with a quarter of the chicken cut and a tablespoon of dressing. Throw everything together and you’ve got yourself a small serving of Caesar salad – simple enough to whip up for a 15-minute break.
3. Turkey wraps: Go to any counter meat and about half a pound of turkey (pay attention to the amount of sodium it has) along with slices of cheddar or Swiss cheese. I combine one slice of cheese with one slice of turkey for a simple and lively wrap.
4. Blueberry containers: I recommend this only if they are sold as containers of berries (if purchased on a regular basis). These things are delicious, which also benefits your complexion.
5. Trail Mix: I never buy a pre-made trail mix when half the ingredients I like and half I never touch. But I’ll go to Trader Joe and get a bag of almonds, a bag of walnuts and a bag of dried cranberries. When I get home, I toss the ingredients together in a gallon size ziplock and then mix the portion into smaller SERVING size ziplocks to work with throughout the week.
6. Hard-boiled egg: Avoid these, and consult your doctor if you have high cholesterol. Hard boiled eggs are good with salt salts or black pepper. If you really care about your cholesterol, pop the yolk out. egg white still tastes less than good with a pinch of salt.
7. Yogurt: Go with the plan, Greek yogurt, and sprinkle in some walnuts. I like how they add food to the yogurt, especially since I don’t like yogurt at all. But adding walnuts (or you can try shaved almonds), in moderation makes the treat quite tasty.
8. Popcorn: Opt for snack size bags that are about a third of the size of a traditional bag of microwave popcorn. If you want something sweet, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or honey on the bag.
9. Salty: If you want something like chips, try Chex instead. There is a wheat version of Chex Mix that is just as good as the other flavors, but divide the portions before the start of the week. Don’t bring a whole bag of Chex Mix to work and then think you’re eating in reasonable increments. Instead, divvy up the contents of one bag in five, a separate snack ziplock bags at the beginning of the week. . You’ll get the bracelet you want without emptying half or the entire bag on your desk.
10: PBJs: Well, not exactly, but if you like peanut butter, try a crunchy peanut butter dish on a piece of whole wheat bread or whole wheat English muffin You will get your protein and whole grains in your diet. If it needs to be sweet at all, drizzle with a little honey (who knows when you put on too much honey? The bread drips).
