Staying healthy at work isn’t always easy. With anywhere from 8-10 hours in the office, healthy snacks at work are a must to keep employees energized and focused. So what are the best healthy snacks for the office? SnackNation reached out to 40 health experts, from nutritionists to dietitians, and asked them “What are your favorite healthy snacks to keep at the office (or wherever you work) and why?"
Here are top choices from the experts:
“My favorite snack to keep at work is a handful of nuts and string cheese. Keeping it low carbohydrate will not slow you down and the high protein will satisfy you until your next meal. Plus, the healthy fats in nuts will add an added dose of needed nutrition to your day."

“The snack I’m hooked on right now is a couple of brown rice cakes topped with almond butter accompanied by Greek yogurt or cottage cheese topped with blueberries, raspberries, or other fruit and sprinkled with cinnamon. So good, filling, and keeps me satisfied till my next meal!”

“My favorite snack to have on hand is a small bag of raw nuts and a piece of fruit, like an apple. I like to have healthy fats and fruit with fiber to keep me feeling full for a long time. Plus it’s easy to carry around with me anywhere I go.”
