The craving for a snack. With everyone's busy schedules and tendency to multi-task, what most employees grab for a 'snack' is nothing short of a Spelling Bee on an Energy Drink!
Who on earth can pronounce LET ALONE spell the ingredients in most of the office place 'snacks'. Ever think there's a reason the vending machine looks like a 'jail' for snack food? It should be because most of it is BAD FOR US!
At my workplace, they have made a concerted effort to push for and replace a lot of 'unhealthy' snacks (Candy bars, chips, etc.) with more healthy options so that's a big plus, but when you consider the other option (bringing snacks from home), there's no comparison.
When you bring snacks from home, they are usually more healthy and more filing as well. Save your change for the parking meter or daily newspaper and get online or forage up a good cook book and assemble a list of some 'go to' snacks you can have at work and pack quite easily.
Below are some wonderful web-sites surrounding the 'theme' of Work Time snacks. Check them out!!
