Who doesn’t love to have a snack during work, right? In this post we have separated ideas for practical snacks for work!
Healthy foods give us energy, improve our health, increase our concentration and strengthen our immune system. That’s why we should take healthy snacks with us to work, which will help us perform better during the day.
And for a healthy snack, you don’t need a lot of ingredients or a lot of time to prepare it, ideal for busy days at work.
Fruit salad with honey
Fruits are rich in vitamins as well as providing satiety and honey is rich in antioxidants. An easy and quick snack to prepare: slice up the fruit of your choice; put it in a container – opt for glass containers with lids, they help preserve the food better -; add the honey.
Snack with wholemeal bread
Wholemeal bread has less sugar and fat and is rich in vitamins and minerals. A snack with wholemeal bread will also keep you full. For the filling: opt for white cheese, shredded chicken or tuna and to top it off, a salad of lettuce and cherry tomatoes! A practical and delicious snack.
Natural yogurt with fruit
Natural yogurt with fruit is delicious and very healthy, rich in protein. All you need to do is cut up the fruit of your choice – strawberry is a great option – and add the yogurt.
Yogurt with Granola and Strawberries
Yogurt is a great healthy snack option because of the feeling of satiety it brings, especially when combined with granola and strawberries, which add extra flavor and crunch. Using small or medium-sized glass jars is a good option because as well as being a more sustainable choice, the yogurt can be stored and served in the same container, so you can buy a larger quantity and prepare portions daily.
Gelatine
What could be simpler to prepare than gelatine? By doing the process at home and dividing the portions into different containers (opt for a container with a lid), you can then take them to work and store them in the fridge until snack time.
Frozen strawberries
Strawberries are a very tasty fruit and great for that break time. One option that helps preserve the flavor of strawberries for longer is to freeze them. You can wash them, remove the top leaves and it’s important to dry them before freezing. This way you can keep them in the fridge at work until snack time without them losing their flavor or texture.
Dark Chocolate
If you’re someone who can’t get through the day without a sweet treat, a great option is dark chocolate with 60% or 70% cocoa, which are the healthiest types and have the most health benefits. However, if you find it difficult to control the amount of chocolate you eat, choose not to bring the whole bar, but separate a few squares and take only those.
Mate tea with ginger and lemon
As well as being a super healthy option to accompany your snacks at work and quench your thirst, this powerful herb acts as a diuretic and antioxidant in your body. Combine mate tea with ginger or lemon and benefit from its anti-inflammatory properties, which speed up metabolism, aid the digestive process and promote blood circulation.
Hibiscus and lemon black iced tea
A refreshing tea always goes down well. This tea is not only tasty but also helps with your digestion.
For preparation;
- 4 bags of black tea
- 1 liter of water
- 1 teaspoon hibiscus
- 1 squeezed lemon
Bring the water to the boil and add the tea bags and hibiscus, wait for it to cool and put it in the fridge. Make the lemon juice and add sugar or sweetener. After chilling, add the lemon juice!
