Many of the patients we see at the center are busy New Yorkers that are always on the go, running from one meeting to the next. It makes healthy eating a bit more challenging, but it’s still do-able. Here are some tips for healthy snacks for your busy workday:
Stock Up Your Desk
Keep some snacks in your desk at work, or in your purse. It’s easy to keep gluten-free crackers, rice cakes, almond butter, nuts and even canned wild salmon on hand. Buy a bag of organic apples and put one in your bag each morning.
Plan Your Snacks
If you’re hungry for a snack, don’t grab the first thing in sight. Plan your snacks in advance and treat them like a mini-meal.
Take note of when you get hungry each day. Do you have a snack attack mid-morning? If so, you may want to have a SUSTAIN shake around 11am to get a protein boost. Or do you hit the vending machine for Swedish Fish or race to Starbucks every afternoon? If that’s the case, make sure you’re having a nourishing lunch, and plan for a healthier snack.
