If you’re anything like me you start the day off really really well, but by 8pm you’re reaching for chocolate! These 6 healthy snack ideas for work from home moms will set you in the right direction!

I tend to do intermittent fasting from 7pm till 11am… that’s commonly known as 16:8 fasting… not for everyone that’s for sure… but it tends to help me sleep better, be less inflamed (I have a a few inflammatory conditions, including arthritis and asthma) and generally feel a bit better all round. 

I usually drink plenty of water each day and try to get in a nutrient dense smoothie as my first meal of the day around 11am, if toast and peanut butter doesn’t win the argument. Sometimes both.

But, I do know one thing… and that is IF I am organised, I don’t eat shitty food. And IF I’ve shopped smartly, prepped, and have options on hand… I tend to eat better for my brain and my body.

So, I rounded up 6 of the best healthy snacks for women working from home to help you out ladies! Yeah… I got you boo! … some are just such no brainers that I’m surprised I hadn’t thought of them before. Some are OMG good and I know they’ll become you’re staples. These are super great snack idea for work, or work from home work!

What’s a good snack for work?

Good snacks for work include nuts, dried fruit, granola bars, trail mix, and energy balls. You want to make sure you’re grabbing something that’s gonna not only fill you up but also give you some energy and sustain you through till lunch or clock-off time!

Apple Chips
If you’re looking for something sweet, try apple chips. You can make them yourself by cutting up apples into small pieces and baking them at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 15 minutes.

Peanut Butter Cups
Another option is peanut butter cups. Just spread some peanut butter onto graham cracker squares and then top with chocolate.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you need something sweet, try these chocolate chip cookies. You can make them as big or small as you’d like.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
This cereal has been around since the 1970’s. It’s still one of my favorites! I love how crunchy it is and how delicious it tastes.

Popcorn
If you’ve ever had popcorn at a movie theatre, then you know what a good snack is. You can make your own popcorn at home with just a few ingredients. Make it as fancy or simple as you like. Add salt, butter, vanilla or a dusting of icing sugar.

Fruit Rollups
Fruit rollups are one of my favorite snacks because they’re portable, nutritious, and delicious. You can make them at home using fresh fruit, dried fruit, and honey.

Nuts
Almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and hemp seeds are some of the healthier nuts and seeds available. All of these foods contain protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Protein Bars
If you’re looking for something more substantial, try protein bars. They’re an excellent source of protein and fiber, and they’re also portable so you can bring them with you wherever you go.

Energy Bites
Protein bars are a good option because they provide a mix of carbohydrates and protein. This combination helps keep you feeling full longer than eating just carbs or just protein alone.

Fruit & Veggies
If you’re looking for something sweet, try fruit. Apples, bananas, oranges, pears, peaches, and berries are some of the fruits that contain natural sugars and fiber. They also help fill you up without adding too much calories.

Yogurt
If you’re looking to add protein to your snack, try yogurt. It’s high in calcium and low in fat, making it an ideal choice for those who need to watch their weight. Try Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and granola for a delicious snack.

Banana Chips
To make these chips, simply peel and slice bananas into thin slices. Then place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Flip the banana slices over and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Good snacks are easy to grab on the run, so you won’t need to spend much time in the kitchen. These snacks will satisfy your hunger without weighing you down.

Wrap Up

I totally went down a rather large rabbit hole looking for great healthy snacks for us work from home mommas! I got seriously lost and had to dig my way back to reality… I wish I was more creative in the kitchen like these amazing women! 

But, alas, my kitchen prowess is very much limited… However, I can sniff out great content! So, try these! And let me know which ones you loved!
