Does sitting at a desk all day make you crave snacks? It does for me!
If you've ever worked an office job, you know what it's like to be stuck at a desk all day long. Even if you love your job, those days can still be long and repetitive.
Many office jobs also have something else in common- the break room. There's something about sitting at a desk all day that creates a snack habit to break up the monotony of the day. It’s also a gathering place to chat with your coworkers, celebrate with birthday cake, or share some treats together. Many times, these aren’t the healthiest treats either- break rooms often have pastries, donuts or cupcakes.
The idea of a break room is good though- having a place to escape your desk for a few minutes, have some time to chat about things with colleagues, and even get up front your desk to stretch and loop around after a bathroom break. Taking a trip to the break room or vending machine feels like an escape, allows you to be social, and gets you up and moving. These are all great things!
So then let’s focus on creating a bit healthier snack routine that what might currently be going on in your office. Today, I want to share with you some of my favorite and simple healthy snacks you can keep on hand for those much-needed snack runs.
