5 healthy snacks for your Los Angeles break room

In 2020, Covid-19 sidelined many people when it came to their health. Even before the pandemic, too many companies offered unhealthy snacks as rewards, to celebrate milestones, or just for snacking. As we head back to the office, it will be nearly impossible for employees to avoid unhealthy snacks because they are so readily available.  However, now is the perfect opportunity to support their health goals by offering healthy snacks.

5 healthy snacks you can offer in your Los Angeles office 

We’ve come up with a list of five healthy snacks to satisfy those cravings but still keep your health goals on track.

Fruits

Think of the plethora of fruits you can enjoy. Whether they are dried or fresh, fruits are a great source of essential vitamins and minerals and high in fiber. For example, you can enjoy apples with or without almond butter (delish!), blueberries, bananas, oranges, and more. Fruit snacks are refreshing and can satisfy the sweet tooth but are better for you than candy.

Veggies

Make it a habit to snack on vegetables daily. They are low in calories, fat, sodium, and cholesterol. They also help protect you against certain diseases. In addition, consuming vegetables help your digestive system work more efficiently when they are a regular part of your diet.  You’ll relish the crunch of carrots, the slight spicy quality of broccoli, and the sweet mild flavor of juicy bell peppers.

Nuts & Seeds

Crack open the benefits of adding nuts and seeds to your diet to leverage heart-healthy substances such as unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and more.  Lower your risk of diabetes, and heart and respiratory diseases. With anti-inflammatory properties, nuts and seeds help lower the risk of certain diseases because chronic inflammation is linked to many major diseases. Moderate amounts of nuts and seeds are a must-have for those practicing healthy eating. Besides, who doesn’t love a handful of crunchy almonds, protein-packed hemp seeds, or flavorful walnuts?

Granola

Often considered a healthy breakfast cereal, granola is a toasted mixture of oats, seeds, nuts, grains, puffed rice, spices, and nut butter.  By customizing your granola with fewer sweeteners, you can make it an ideal healthy snack to keep you energized in the office. Moreover, granola can improve blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, and improve gut health.  Enjoy the perfection of this crunchy and satisfying snack whether you add it to almond milk, yogurt, or eat it as is.

Dark chocolate

Indulge in the chocolatey goodness of a snack that is good for you! Dark chocolate may prevent heart disease, improve cognition and blood sugar levels. Furthermore, dark chocolate can help with weight loss, improve cholesterol, and boost your mood! It may be sinfully delicious but it’s also packed with health-boosting benefits.
