My husband has been on a healthy eating diet since January 1st of this year and so far, he’s lost 28 lbs. and most of that is because he has switched over to more healthier options when it comes to snacking and his beverages. In addition to the options you see above, he likes to keep individual snack packages of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, mixed nuts, dried fruits and in-season fresh fruits in his desk drawer.

Additional Tips: Only keep 4-5 different little options in your desk drawer, don’t overload it with 15+ choices, because you’ll be tempted to consume several of them at a time. When purchasing, he loves the idea of single-serving packs, which helps him to ONLY consume one serving at a time. You’ll want to ‘ditch’ the high-calorie beverages and go for low-calorie options that satisfy you…like Sparkling ICE beverages, herbal teas, etc.

    ALthough I love eating healthy snacks some of the time I don’t have them all the time. I do enjoy Welch’s Fruit snacks , but they do contain both corn syrup and sugar as well as real fruit.

    I am so glad to get this awesome list of good snacks from you I learned alot. I love alot of these products already and do snack on them. The welch’s fruit Snacks, Ice Flavored water ( I Love It ) My favorite I have it in the house most of the time. I would love to try the Go Organically Fruit snacks they look delicious! Thank you for the Good Advice.

  3. I had a couple of those Sparkling ICE drinks over the weekend and the little carbonation really helps settle my stomach (burping I guess) and they were lemon and Ice tea flavor, which also helped. I love both chia seed and flax seed as a snack and would go for those high protein Munk Pack cookies too.

    When I was at a desk some time ago, I liked the fruit snacks quite a bit. I liked the not just for the taste but they seemed to last in your mouth a long time and they werent so sweet they made you feel bad. I also like that mini popcorn you have showing. I think that would be a good choice too.
