07 Nov Deliciously Nutritious: Great Tasting Healthy Snack Alternatives for New York City Break Rooms
Finding a healthy snack in the workplace is getting easier every day. Why? It’s thanks to a rise in the number of good-for-you snacks available in sizes that fit in a vending machine. That makes it easier to stock new and nutritious items in New York City break rooms for employees to enjoy. After all, healthy snacks satisfy hunger while still staying in line with wellness goals. And that’s great news! Healthy staff are happier and perform better at their jobs, delivering better results.
What types of delicious snacks can you find in the at-work healthy category? Here are some options we can bring to your improved New York City vending machine.
Vegetable Chips
Made from kale, beets, sweet potatoes, or even seaweed, crunchy lunchtime snacks are getting a makeover. Check out a sweet potato fried to chip perfection in avocado oil by Jackson’s Food Company. Or bite into a special “dirty” kettle-style sweet potato chip from Utz. Both are a unique, superfood take on the classic potato chip.
Pea Puffs
Along with a wrap or sandwich from the New York City fresh food market, how about a puffed snack? Try the latest healthy one made from legumes such as Hippeas. These puffs are packed with plant protein and fiber to fuel you up for important work.
Or dip into Peatos, which offers remixes of your favorite snack foods, but made vegan. There’s plenty of flavor, protein, and fiber to keep you feeling full and enjoying your snack break.
Fruit: The Original Healthy Snack
Sometimes called nature’s candy, no list of healthy options would be complete without fruit. It’s ideal for when staff want something sweet, but natural. From pre-packed fruit in juice to freeze-dried fruit bites, there’s a fruit snack right for everyone on your staff.
The sweet bright taste of tropical fruit sings in Del Monte® Fruit Cup® Snacks. They are packed in convenient snackable portions complete with their own nutrition labels for viewing.
Dried fruit like those from bare® act almost like chips. Apple and banana slices give a satisfying crunch. Toasted coconut flakes taste like a candy bar. Satisfy your sweet tooth and get a dose of vitamins, too.
Another novel and interesting fruit snack is freeze-dried varieties. Brothers All Natural® has a gentle dehydration process meant to keep nutrients, flavor, and texture intact. Try the strawberries, mangos, bananas, apples, etc. It’s a bounty of fun perfect for beating the afternoon slump.
Don’t Forget Healthy Hydration
When snacking, it’s a must to drink fluids. That means opting for tasty, yet healthy drinks to go along with your healthy snack. In a well-stocked micro market or New York City cold beverage machine, look for sparkling water. It comes in many flavors, most with no added sugar or artificial additives.
Or perhaps it’s time to improve the office drinking water. New York City water filtration service will take your current water, run it through filters, and deliver a better tasting water on the other side. It’s excellent as is, frozen for better-tasting ice, or even used to brew tea and office coffee. The lack of chemical taste and particulates lets your brew of choice shine through. That’s a hydration win if we ever heard of one.
Healthy Snack Choices Support Work and Wellness
Finding at-work snacks that support healthier living is getting easier. Trendy, healthy snack choices are coming to vending and micro markets. Fuel up on veggie chips, legume puffs, and snackable fruit. Don’t forget the importance of drinking healthy beverages, too.
