Time is running out to take the Employee Health Risk Appraisal worth
2 hours of vacation time! This survey should only take 10 minutes and will help direct the future of the Wellness Program.
Hurry! It's only available thru March 31st!
We all know it's super hard not to over-eat during lunch or reach for a bag of chips an hour after. After all, we're hungry and live fast on-the-go lifestyles! Lucky for us when you have easy portable ingredients, creating an on-the-go snack becomes relatively simple.
Here are a few nutritious grab-and-go snacks for when hunger strikes!!
- Whole grains, nuts, and seeds: Whole grain crackers make a tasty snack and nuts pack a ton of protein and fiber as well
- Greek yogurt: Mix with fresh fruit to take in 7 grams of fiber.
- Hardboiled egg: Only around 70 calories and you can boil a bunch at the beginning of the week to save time.
- Whole wheat tortilla and hummus roll up: (1 tortilla, 1 Tbsp. hummus). The first ingredient in hummus is chickpeas (garbanzo beans), which provides you with lots of fiber and protein.
- Fruits and veggies: You can easily prep and throw into Ziploc baggies to grab-and-go throughout the week.
- Whole wheat breakfast cereal mixed with dried fruit and almonds: You get plenty of fiber from the cereal and protein from the nuts.
...and last but certainly not least,
- Water: It is so important to stay hydrated! Dehydration causes you to believe you need to eat when actually you really need liquid intake. Keep a bottle with you at all times and refill it throughout the day.

ReplyDeleteCarrots & hummus or homemade trail mix: craisins, almonds, & sunflower seeds
ReplyDeleteKind bars which have a lot of nuts, low sugars, and taste yummy! Also nut-thins (crackers made by Blue Diamond) with some almond or peanut butter are a great snack! jlong@co.weber.ut.us
ReplyDeleteI love laughing cow light cheese or mini babybel light cheese with a few wheat crackers or a couple of strawberries.
