Hello beautiful people,
I wanted to share with you some of my favorite snacks to keep at work if I get munchies or hungry. Some of these I keep in my purse for on the go so I do not get trapped into bad eating. These change so that I do not get bored. But I just restocked the cabinet at work today so I figured to share with you.
1. Oat Fit maple and brown sugar oatmeal with flax. 100 calories 3g of protein, 12 g of fiber, 1g of sugar and 9% sodium.
2. Multigrain Rice Crackers with sea salt 130 cal, 2g of protein, 1g of sugar, 6% of sodium per 16 crackers. I sometimes eat these with freshly maid hummus.
3. Kale Chips 95 calories, 4g of protein, 4g of sugar, 12% sodium per half a bag. I buy these at Kroger sometimes but this specific one I bought at Marshalls for $3.99 and its the best one yet.
4. Dry Roasted Edamame 130 cal, 14g of protein, 8g of fiber, 1g of sugar, 3% sodium. This has 40% more protein than peanuts. Can be found here
5. Baked Goldfish Pretzel 130 cal, 3g of protein, less than 1g of sugar, 18% of sodium per 43 pieces.
6. Low Sodium Rice Cakes 40 calories, 1 gram of protein, and 0% sodium. I spread peanut butter on them with honey or raisins.
7. Pure Protein Bars 180-200 calories (varies by flavor of bar) 19-22g of protein, 3g of sugar, 2g of fiber, 4% sodium. I love these. I have them for breakfast with coffee, post workout, or when I am really hungry but will not be home to eat soon enough lol. I always carry one in my purse. I get a variety pack here.
8. Apples I always have an apple around. I snack on them all the time. I sometimes slice them and dip into peanut butter.
9. Earth Balance natural peanut butter and flaxseed 190 cal, 2g of sugar, 7g of protein per 2 Tbsp of serving. Its high in Omega-3. I spread this on my rice cakes, dip my apples in it or just eat a spoon of it alone 🙂 Buy at Kroger or here.
10. Dark chocolate I LOVE chocolate. Its worth every penny to me to get good quality chocolate. This one is 170 cal, 2g of protein, 0 % sodium. I have this when I have a really sweet tooth, its gluten and dairy free. No artificial anything. I love it! I am a firm believe in you get what you pay for, same goes for good tasting food. I buy this at Kroger for $1.97 or a box of 12 on amazon for $6.30 here.
11. Horizon low fat organic milk for my morning cereal days. I buy this for the kids too since it doesn’t have to be refrigerated, good for lunchboxes and travel. I buy it at Kroger when they have 10 for $10 or on Amazon here.
If you have Amazon prime and plan ahead you can always get better deals on healthier food. We order a lot of our stuff through amazon.
I also bring fresh vegetables and fruits and keep them in the fridge.
What do you guys like to snack on?

Looks pretty good – except for the pure protein bars, anything with protein powder or protein “supplements” just freaks me out a little. I also have a drawer full of snacks of work (I like Kind Bars and almonds) and then also bring in apples, carrots, bananas, oranges, blueberries or watermelon.

Thanks, I use pure protein post workout or as breakfast replacement. I am not a big meat eater and I found that this helps me fulfill protein intake. I agree that nuts are great source of protein but I have tree nut allergies so I am very limited even on the bars I choose because a lot of them contain nuts. I would have a handful of almonds daily if I could 😊. Thanks for stopping by.
