We are reaching the finish line, guys! It is almost 5pm. We are 1 hour and 12 minutes away from the weekend. We made it! Another week, another dollar! We all make such a good team.
Just a few moments ago I was craving a snack. I hate snacking. Snacking = empty calories. But I wanted something…. something sweet. My immediate thought was to have a Mission clean protein bar . I like these bars because they are high fiber, low carb, and 0g sugar alcohol. My favorite flavor is the chocolate brownie (190 cal and 20g protein). Grab one at your local GNC.
This got me thinking, we are always on the run, spend a lot of time commuting, and sitting at our desks… what do you keep in your desk, bag, or car?
Currently, I have a Mission bar and Emerald Nuts- 100 cal pack in my desk drawer. I usually keep a bag of jerky in my gym bag (quick protein post work out). I live about 1.5 hours away from my Parents so for those long car rides I’ll pack some fruit and nuts and cheese if we crave something to munch on.
Like I said, I am not a huge fan of snacking but I understand that with this “always on the go” routine we have, we need to have something to eat! If I am going to snack, it is going to be something healthy that will keep me full for a long time.
I used to be the kind of person who would get fast food during my car rides home. Something about eating fries in traffic used to be so comforting but it was taking a toll on my health and it was always sooooooooooooo embarrassing when someone was like “what did you eat?” “were you eating fast food?” or how about all the wrinkled oily bags in the back seat. OMG, so gross! We’ve replaced fast food bags with protein bar wrappers and empty water bottles… which reminds me, I need to clean the back of my car ASAP.
Snack food that you will most likely find in my work space:
- Protein bars
- Nuts
- Jerky
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Dried edamame
- Hummus   (Click link for coupon)
- Tuna snack pack
- In the work fridge: oranges, apples, and cheese
What about you? What is your go-to snack food? What do you keep at your desk or on the run? If you have any more ideas, I’d love to hear them!
Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Bananas. I eat at least one banana every day, more during cycling season. I don’t even like the damned things that much but there is nothing better for keeping my legs from cramping.

It’s been a while, but yes. I down a lot of electrolyte replacement drinks as well, so I’ve been fortunate enough to keep that in check.

I don’t keep snacks to hand. If they are there I will eat them all at once but I got home from work today (yes it’s Saturday) and there was an open back of Japanese Rice Crackers. I ate them. I didn’t like them. But it was something to do. Now I feel bad.

That’s why I am not a huge fan of snacking! I keep it for emergencies.
