Quick Healthy Snacks for Work

SHARE ON YUMMLY --> Yum

Finding healthy snacks for work isn't easy.


You're running from meeting to meeting, conducting task after task, and answering question after question. You don't even have time for lunch, so forget about healthy snacking. On the job, your version of quick and healthy snacks are greasy chips and sugary candies from a vending machine--and neither fit the clean eating diet you're trying to continue.

May I recommend to you a few healthy snacks for work? 


The choices below are nutritious, portable and virtually mess-free. They're perfect for work, as well as play. Most of all, they taste good.

1. Veggie Corn Chips

Whoever first added vegetables to corn chips is a genius! Our favorite chips are now filled with super foods like kale, chia and beets, but remain flavorful and crunchy. Because they come in snack-able sized bags, they're great as quick healthy snacks for work.

My recommendations are SuperEats Kale and Chia Chips...

2. Fruit Chips

If veggie chips are good healthy snacks for work, so are fruit chips. For those of you with a sweet tooth, fruit chips offer the same sweet flavor but with natural sugar.

I fell in love with Seneca Apple Chips. They're sweet, crunchy, all-natural, gluten-free and quite frankly, EXTREMELY addictive.

Get them at Seneca Apple Chips.

My new addiction, though, are Samai plantain chips. Like apple chips, they're naturally sweet, flavorful and crunchy.

3. All Natural Cookies

Cookie-lovers can enjoy healthy snacks for work too. Nowadays, there are many natural, low-calorie desserts at super markets. Try stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, or find "healthy foods" or "natural foods" sections at your local grocery store.

My choice are Hannah Max All Natural Cookies. They are sweet, crispy and won't leave you feeling bloated. If you need a treat during work hours, the Hannah Max All natural Cookies are fantastic healthy snacks for work!

4. Apples Slices (with Cheese or All-Natural Peanut Butter)

Fruits are good snacks for work, because they're easy to carry. The work desk-friendly ones (a.k.a mess-free) are probably bananas and apples.

Apple slices are my favorite because they are sweet, crunchy and easy to dress up. 

By dressing up I meant pairing them with with natural cheese slices like Beecher's Handmade Cheese or all natural peanut butter.

8. Pop Chips

In addition to tasting great and fun to eat, pop chips contain zero artificial ingredients and aren't fried or baked. Best part? They have half the fat of regular potato chips, and won't leave your fingers greasy.

I like them, and so do my kids.

9. Pirate Booty's Pop Corn

My kids love these baked rice and corn puffs. They're flavorful with aged white cheddar, and are healthier than Cheetos, due to being free of artificial ingredients and having no trans fat. 

Quite honestly, I love them too. They're perfect healthy snacks for work, as well as play.

Made with baby snap peas and baked to crispy perfection, these lightly salted snacks are crunchy and tasty. Compared to potato chips, they have 50% less fat, and are loaded with fiber and protein. They're also light weight and easy to pack and store, making them perfect healthy snacks for work.
