The Healthy Snacks Nutritionists Reach For At Work
Bounce Bar, £1.85
“You can find these protein-based balls everywhere, including Holland & Barrett and Boots. Protein will keep you fuller for longer and keep blood sugar levels balanced. Plus, they’re small enough to fit in your handbag and there are lots of flavours – try the coconut and macadamia variety.” – Sana Khan, nutritionist and founder of Avicenna Wellbeing

Clearspring Organic Seaveg Crispies, £1.25
“These are my go-to for a long afternoon at my desk. They are crispy seaweed thins made from just three ingredients – nori, sea salt and organic sunflower oil. They keep my nose out of the biscuit jar until tea time with the kids.” – Gabriela Peacock, resident nutritional therapist at Tempus Belgravia and founder of GP Nutrition

TREK Protein Bar, 90p
“Cereal bars may be appealing, but so many of them are high in sugar and fat. If you train regularly, your protein needs may be higher, so try a TREK bar – the entire range has between 9-10g of plant-based protein per bar, as well as gluten-free oats, fruits and nut.” – Alex Cook, EXALT resident sports and endurance dietitian

RXBAR, £2.50
“When we crave sugar, we’re actually craving a combination of sugar and fat which provides those moreish and hyper-palatable qualities. For a healthier sweet snack, choose a mix of sugar and fat – an RXBAR contains dates and nuts, and provides a high-quality dose of protein to keep you full.” – Lily Soutter, nutritionist

Brave Roasted Peas, £1

“These lime and chilli-flavoured cashews, peanuts and almonds come in a handy 35g snacking size which helps to ensure good portion control. While it is true that nuts contain fat, they are low in saturated fats and can keep your heart healthy.” – Rebecca Stevens, registered nutritionist

GOSH! Tuscan Vegetable Bites, £2.18

Whether you're in the office or working from home, stock up on these expert-approved staples, which guarantee endless snack options…

OATCAKES: “You can’t go wrong with oatcakes – they are packed with low-GI carbs and fibre. For a nutritionally-balanced snack, pair with a small portion of nut butter for some protein and good fats, alongside an apple, which counts towards your five-a-day.” – Alex
-
NUTS: “A pack of unsalted, roasted nuts is a great snack option. Pair a handful with a pack of fresh berries from the supermarket – the nuts will slow the sugar absorption from the berries for an energy-boosting snack.” – Vivienne
-
MINDFUEL: “This is such a clever brand and the sachets can easily be kept in your drawer or handbag. I rate the protein-based soups (you just add hot water), but they also do pre-mixed chia puddings and teff porridge.” – Vivienne
-
BANANAS: “Cheap and cheerful, bananas contain a range of nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, C and minerals including iron, potassium and magnesium. A medium-sized banana covers off 10% of your fibre requirements for the day, too, making them the perfect fruit to keep in your drawer.” – Rebecca
