Healthy Workday Snacks





Having to spend your day in front of a desk or teacher should not keep you from enjoying some snacks. These snack will help you focus, stay healthy and drop any unwanted fat. Here are a few that i have found to be very filling and satisfying.


Walnuts

Grab handful of walnuts with your favorite fruit, or a bowl of oatmeal for a boost of fiber can be a great morning snack that will help you feel full longer.

Walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Apples

 Apples have tons of pectin, this helps suppress your appetite.
Eat your apple with a mid-day snack. Apples will control your blood sugar, and minimizes the amount of sugar that is digested in your meal. Have it with a tablespoon of almond, cashew, or peanut butter for extra protein.

Greek Yogurt

 Non fat Greek yogurt has two times the amount of protein of regular yogurt. It contains healthy bacteria, or probiotics, keeping your digestive tract healthy.
Take one half to one cup of yogurt with a small handful of granola for a great mid-day snack.

Apricots

For a great waking up snack, cut up 6 small dried apricots, cranberries and a small handful of granola.

Energy Bars

For another great mid meal snack, wake up with a "Clif Bar". There are satisfying flavors from apricot, chocolate fudge, peanut toffee buzz, mint chocolate, to banana nut bread.
