Dear office workers: we understand you. We know that working in an office can be tough, especially when lunchtime comes and you're still not done with your first task of the day. To prevent hunger from getting the best of you and to avoid giving in to cravings for street food, we have some delicious snack recommendations to take to work.Vegan chia cookies with avocado dip. Instead of filling your stomach with spicy pork rinds, try these exquisite chia cookies. In addition to satisfying your hunger, they'll boost your spirits thanks to the nutrients in their ingredients. They are even considered the pearls of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that help combat fat and regulate body weight, and they are very simple to make! Other important facts to mention are: they have antioxidants, Omega 3 in amounts higher than other seeds; they are a great source of fiber and have 5 times more calcium than milk. A plus is that they are also gluten-free.Lentil tabbouleh. This is an ideal snack for heavier days at the office. The iron and protein in this tabbouleh will help keep you energized for longer. If you can, use fresh mint for a more intense flavor.Vegan Vietnamese rolls. The most practical, healthy, and easy lunch doesn’t always come in the form of a sandwich. Try these rolls and discover how delicious portable food can be. Prepare them on the weekend so you have lunch for every day.Fruit detox bowl. This recipe is as simple as chopping, freezing, and blending. In its original presentation, it is suggested to serve it in a bowl, but you can also add a little water to the mixture to make it more liquid and drink it as a smoothie.Chicken and pico de gallo burritos. For those days when you need something more filling, we suggest preparing these delicious burritos. Ideally, you should eat them freshly made, but since you probably won’t have much time at the office, you can heat them in the microwave.Cucumbers filled with chicken salad. You only need 20 minutes to make this recipe. If you plan to take this dish to work, we suggest placing the salad and cucumbers in separate containers. This way, it will be easier to transport the food. Cucumbers are not only a fantastic snack option because they are so light, but they are also diuretics, improve digestion, regulate blood pressure, and eliminate toxins.Amaranth gorditas. If you prefer sweet cravings, then these gorditas will delight you. Perfect for pairing with your mid-morning coffee, amaranth gorditas can be made with wheat or amaranth flour to make them even healthier. Among other benefits of amaranth, we can highlight that it is diuretic, which is facilitated by its levels of calcium, fiber, and potassium.Strawberry yogurt with tapioca and pistachios. Treat yourself to a sweet craving while eating healthily with this yogurt with tapioca and pistachios. To add more flavor, you can include your favorite nuts: blueberries, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc. And indeed, pistachios rank among the top two nuts that contain the most fiber. Additionally, they stand out because they have vitamins, minerals, and significant amounts of thiamine (vitamin B1) and vitamin B6; and are a source of riboflavin, vitamin E, vitamin K, and folic acid.Which of these snacks will you take to work next week?
