Healthy Gluten Free 
Snacking at Work
Many people ask about healthy snacks that can bring to work with them. Snacking at work is a habit that many people get into due to boredom, stress or low blood sugar. Smart snacking will help you normalize blood sugar levels resulting in improved concentration and a more efficient workday. The key is to plan your snacks in advance so you don’t become tempted by the junk food snacks that co-workers might leave in the office.
I recommend choosing snacks with nutritional value and great taste.
Some of my favorites include:
- Hummus with raw carrot chips (purchase at your local market). Make your own hummus with great northern beans or garbanzo beans and olive oil. Mix in a mini food processor. Add salt if desired. Use the raw carrot chips instead of bread or other chips to eat the hummus with.
This snack provides fiber, protein and vitamins.
- Apple or celery with peanut or almond butter. This snack provides, protein, natural sugar and vitamins and minerals.
- Lettuce wrap with chopped carrots, kale, raw, unsalted seeds and/or chopped cashew nuts and avocado. The vegetables provide fiber and vitamins. The nuts or seeds give an extra crunch and protein. Delicious and easy to prepare.
