10 healthy snacks to eat at your desk

Here are some of my recommended snacks for the mid morning or afternoon munchies....

1. Hard boiled egg
One egg has approximately 70 calories and is packed with five to six grams of protein! I like to cook a whole bunch on Sunday and then they are ready to go each morning!

2. Almonds
About 12 nuts has 184 calories! They are packed with protein and omega fatty acids, which are great for your heart!

3. Apple and Cheese or Peanut Butter
This snack is high in fiber, protein and fat! I like light baby-bel cheese or natural peanut butter.

4. 1/2 Avocado
Avocado's are so good for you. This rich fruit is very high in fiber and will keep you full until your next meal

5. Cottage Cheese and Fruit
This is high in fiber and protein but low in fat. A great pre-workout snack!

6. Organic Taste of Nature Granola Bar
Not all granola bars are created equally. In fact - some of them are just as bad as eating a chocolate bar. Look for something with < 10 grams of sugar, having some fiber and some protein.

7. Celery (or carrots) and Hummus
Hummus is great for you. It's high in fiber, protein and it has nutrients that help normalize blood pressure.

8. Tomato Slices and Cheese
This combination contains fat and protein. Plus tomatoes are full of antioxidants!

9. Baked Sweet Potato and Tuna
ok - I know this one sounds strange but it is super healthy! It is a great balance of protein and carbohydrates! It is also packed with fiber and beta-carotene!

10. Banana and a glass of milk
This is a great snack for after a workout. Banana's are high in potassium and the milk provides a great balance of carbohydrates and protein needed for after a workout.

Enjoy!!
