Long meetings, deadlines, and a boss who growls louder than your own stomach. To keep your spirits up, and sometimes as a last resort to avoid going crazy, you often reach for snacks at the office.
However, it's especially important to pay attention to your diet if you have an office job. You typically sit a lot, and there's little to no opportunity for exercise during the workday. This article will tell you about the best snacks for the office or home office – snacks that will keep you fueled, boost your mood, and not make you feel like you're going to burst.
The requirements for snacks to make it onto our list are:
- They should be healthy
- They must not contain too many calories.
- They should be as high in protein as possible.
1. Greek yogurt with berries
Greek yogurt provides high-quality protein and keeps you feeling full for a long time. Combine it with fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries for an extra boost of vitamins and antioxidants. Ideally, choose organic and unsweetened yogurt, which can be sweetened with a little honey or stevia if desired.
2. Cottage cheese with cucumbers and tomatoes
Cottage cheese is a real protein powerhouse. Combined with crunchy cucumber and tomato slices, you get a refreshing, light snack with few calories.
3. Almonds or walnuts (in moderation)
A small handful of almonds or walnuts provides healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Be careful not to eat more than about 30g, as nuts are very high in energy.
4. Hard-boiled eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are easy to prepare and transport. They provide not only protein, but also important vitamins and minerals.
5. Edamame
Green soybeans are rich in plant-based protein and fiber. Simply boil them briefly, add a little salt – and you have the perfect office snack.
6. Vegetable sticks with hummus
Strips of carrot, celery or bell pepper with a little hummus dip bring color to the office and provide you with protein from the chickpeas.
7. Water Buffalo Jerky
Very high in protein, has a long shelf life, and is leaner than classic beef jerky. When buying jerky, look for varieties without added sugar or artificial flavorings.
