Top 10 Healthy Snacks to Eat at Work to Help You Avoid Junk Food

Do you find yourself eating a lot of junk food at work? The lack of healthy vending machines at work certainly doesn’t help, because when hunger strikes it is hard to find healthy alternative.

I find being prepared with healthy snacks to eat at work is the best option; here are my Top 10 Healthy Work Snacks:

1) Celery – The benefits of celery are tremendous! Not only do you burn more calories than you consumer, but when you’re craving a crunchy snack it is the perfect alternative to a fatty bag of chips

2) Greek Yogurt – Full of calcium and probiotics, yogurt is filling and delicious. You can even try out a new flavour each day so you don’t get bored

3) Carrots – Again you have the crunch factor craved from foods like chips and cookies. Carrots are also good for your skin, your vision and can be eaten with a variety of low fat dips

4) Popcorn – Hold the butter though, if you want to keep this snack healthy!

5) Trail mix – Be careful though, some trail mixes are full of sodium and empty calories

6)Watermelon – This juicy fruit will energize you with its natural sugars

7) Granola – You can find granola in a variety of forms, the most popular being granola bars

8) Hummus – Full of protein! 

9) Apples & Peanut Butter – One of my favourite snacks! You get the benefits of fruits as well as the protein of the peanut butter

10) Edamame – These soybeans are full of protein and can be eaten hot or cold.
