    8 healthy snacks that can live in your desk drawer


    If I had every dollar back that I fed into the vending machine when I heard its four o'clock snack siren song, my Roth IRA would be significantly more flush, and I'd likely have a firmer midsection. But from now on, what those cute vending machine stocking guys put in those wire racks is going to stay there. We've got desk drawers filled with the sort of tempting treats that won't do as much damage to our wallet or our waistline.

      a can of mixed nuts,a case of v-8smoothies is also healthy wise.

      bananas are great and they come in their own handy carrying case!

      I'd skip the cereal and popcorn suggestions, despite the convenience factor of it. Our world is corn and grain fed enough. Ever notice how you hear about cows being corn and grain fed... then we corn and grain feed ourselves? Hmmm....

      I have nuts, dried fruit, and canned soup ~ 100-150 and you feel full, the heat and drink are the best for a quick snack or in the summer canned V8 reg or spicy is a quick pick me up. I carry a sm 6 pack cooler with 0 cal flavored water, hummus, and fruit. for those that love popcorn the butter flavored puffs by Cheetos low in cals and tastes like popcorn without the burned smell...

      I missed an important point in the above comment "Ever notice how you hear about cows being corn and grain fed..." TO FATTEN THEM UP

      okayy clementines are soooo good.
      They're also small so i can carry them with me at school.
      Sardines?
      No thanks, try saltine crackers with peanut butter
      and a piece of dark chocolate are reallly good.

      Can of Zero points Progresso Soup when I can't get away for lunch. Microwave popcorn.
    • zodiac  •  1 year 8 months ago
      Microwave popcorn of any kind is bad for you.

      I wish someone would come up with a nut-free list of healthy snacks. I'm allergic to tree nuts :(
    • shangriha_ha_ha  •  1 year 7 months ago
      lara bars are in no way a knock-off luna bars...they're both bars, that's as close as it gets.

      Sardines are only a good snack to have in your desk drawer because you will absolutely not have to worry about anybody stealing them!!! UGH!!
    • Sara  •  1 year 8 months ago
      Well, I don't have a desk...I have my bag that I carry around my school...I have a groanola bar, 5 gum, raisons and a banana. Yupp...

      Ok list.
      However it is dead wrong about the sardines. Newsflash to anyone who doesn't know this yet: do not bring your stinky fish to the office! It is just plain rude!
      Also, some offices do not allow you to pop popcorn. Mine doens't. Too much burt popcorn and now it is banned.

      jar of jalapenos

      Sorry, but the Vegans have the best to offer for snacks or any other part of the day eating regime, not only in taste but in nutrition values as well.
    • Kristina  •  1 year 8 months ago
      I love the idea of oranges in a bowl on your desk. That would certainly brighten my cube up, if not deem me as that weird orange girl! I'm not seeing a problem with either!
    • Kiowana  •  1 year 8 months ago
