Organic Dried Fruit
Dried fruit is high in fiber, helps curb hunger cravings and is relatively low in calories. Dried fruit is also full of flavor, packed with nutrients and contains very little fat. Get yourself a variety pack of organic dried fruit snacks. We like Made in Nature’s Organic Dried Fruit Snack packs because it comes with a variety of fruits and flavors, like Super Berry Fusion and Apple Cinnamon Fusion, is only 100 calories per pack and is all-natural.
Turkey Jerky
If you crave salt, then turkey jerky is the perfect office snack! Just a 1 oz pack of gluten free Perky Jerky’s turkey jerky comes with only 60-80 calories and is jam-packed full with protein. We love this brand because they have a variety of flavors, including Tasty Teriyaki, Sweet and Snappy, and Jammin’ Jamaican. Your stomach and taste buds will feel very satisfied!
String Cheese
Take it back to playground days and get yourself some organic string cheese! String cheese packs like those provided by Horizon Organic are the perfect-sized snacks to curb hunger. Like most dairy products, string cheese is filled with calcium and protein. These snacks do need to be refrigerated, so if there’s not a fridge handy at work, keep them for snacks on the weekend or in between meals at home.
Pre-Packed Nuts
Nuts, like almonds, cashews, and pistachios are great for a healthy heart and a full stomach. Nuts are loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals that leave you full of energy. We can’t get enough of the Planter’s Nut-rition nut snack packs. They have a variety of flavors, including Women’s Health Mix, Energy Mix, Digestive Health Mix, Protein Mix and more. They are pre-packaged to be the perfect amount of nuts to get you through to your next meal.
Popcorn
Not movie theater popcorn loaded with butter (unfortunately), but Skinny Pop Popcorn comes in 100 calorie packs that are filled with fiber and whole grains. Skinny Pop Popcorn is a great snack to feel like you aren’t depriving yourself of taste! If you need to be on a diet without feeling like you’re on a diet, healthy popcorn packs are a great option!
