Top 3 Healthy Snacks to Eat at Your Desk

Snacking on the right foods fights hunger and keeps you from changing your mood during the day.

Let’s be honest: snacking is something many of us enjoy, especially when we’re sitting at our desks and need a little boost. And here’s the good news: snacking isn’t the problem, it’s what we snack on that makes the difference.

Choosing the right snacks can help keep your energy levels steady, curb cravings, and even improve your mood throughout the day. So instead of feeling guilty, let’s rethink snacking as a smart strategy for staying fueled and focused.

Here are three nutritious, easy-to-love snacks that can help you power through your workday:

Nuts

A small handful of nuts can go a long way. They're full of heart-healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. If plain nuts don’t excite you, try switching things up with homemade snacks like our No Bake Energy Bars for a little natural sweetness and crunch.

Bananas

Simple, portable, and satisfying, bananas are a great source of fiber—just one medium banana has around 3 grams, which helps keep you fuller for longer. They’re also a great smoothie base or ingredient for easy, fun recipes like Mixed Berry Smoothie. 

Eggs

Eggs are an all-star snack: affordable, protein-packed, and super versatile. You can enjoy them on their own, or toss a boiled egg into your salad for a midday protein boost that keeps you going. Need inspiration? Check out our protein-rich breakfast omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and leeks.
