Healthy Snacks to Keep at Your Desk

A good snack combines fiber or protein with a little healthy fat so it holds you until your next meal.

• Apple slices with peanut butter
• A small handful of nuts and a piece of fruit
• Carrot sticks with hummus
• Plain yogurt with berries
• Whole-grain crackers with cheese
• Roasted chickpeas
• Hard-boiled eggs

Keep it practical

Keep shelf-stable options like nuts, dried fruit without added sugar and whole-grain crackers in a drawer. Portion snacks into small containers instead of eating from a large bag. Pay attention to whether you are hungry or just bored; a glass of water and a short walk sometimes helps.
