10 Healthy Portable Snack Ideas For Work

Here are my go to tips and ideas for sensible snacks so you can stay committed to your healthy eating regime when you're surrounded by a group of sweet toothed office co-workers.

1. Chickpea Chips. They're a quick snack that can keep you fuller for longer, and you can buy them in portion size packets to keep your snacking in check. Of you could try a no added sugar chickpea chocolate cake!
2. Popcorn is a good high-fiber snack choice that often surprises people. I love having a popcorn snack on a Friday afternoon - The aroma will make all you co workers jealous and your workplace will temporarily smell like a movie theatre. Popcorn may look like a lightweight snacking option, and it is, with many low-fat options that that are light on calories. Skip the flavoured ones and go for a natural salted popcorn that comes in serving sized packets.
3. No Added Sugar Nut Bars. Bars are a great option as a more substantial snack, and especially when they're loaded with superfoods. Bars are an ideal healthy morning or afternoon snack, for sustained long lasting energy.
4. Bliss Balls. These are great when you're not in the mood for something savoury and are chasing a snack that will fill you up, won't give you sugar spikes but also has a little sweet touch to it. Here are some of my favourite no added sugar bliss balls.

6.  Raw Foodie Bars. Convenient if you have to rush out the door before breakfast, or have to work through lunch, raw food bars can be you little secret to getting through the day.
7. Whole grain crackers. You'll probably crave carbohydrates during your day. There are days I definitely do. Instead of reaching for bread, crackers are the better option.
8. Protein Snacks. Handy when you skipped lunch, or are feeling really low in energy and need a quick pick me up. I also have these on hand for a quick snack in the afternoon before my gym workouts when I'm feeling like I need a little push to get there.

9. Fruit Leather. Remember the days of fruit rollups in your school lunchbox? Well, they're back and as popular as ever, and just because we now have a work lunchbox, instead of a school lunchbox, don't let that stop you.
10.  Sugar Free Chocolate. I'll admit I thought about not putting chocolate on the list of portable snacks, but hey, it's all about moderation. And because sometimes you just need a little chocolate.  So why not be prepared and have one on hand that is not loaded with sugar and other preservatives.
