But it\u2019s 3PM again, and the vending machine is calling your name \u2014 that packet of crisps has never looked better. Even though you know that it\u2019s not the healthiest choice, somehow you end up going for it every day.<\/p>\n<p>If that sounds (maybe uncomfortably) familiar, you\u2019re definitely not alone. Lots of people have eating habits at work that aren\u2019t the greatest \u2026 making it hard to stay focused and productive. But actually, it\u2019s really easy to incorporate better foods into your work snacking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re craving something savoury\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lightly salted nuts can be a great source of energy (not to mention healthy fats). Pumpkin seeds, rice cakes, and edamame are great too, as is popcorn, but skip the microwave stuff if you can and go for all natural. If you\u2019re really craving crisps, then try seaweed crisps or veggie crisps instead of the regular potato ones. They\u2019re still crunchy and salty, but they\u2019ve got extra nutrients in them that you\u2019d otherwise miss out on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re dying for something sweet\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fresh fruit can help with the sugar craving, especially quick-energy fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. Trail mix and granola can also be good, but be sure to read the labels if you\u2019re eating shop-bought versions, because some are loaded with fat and salt. Chocolate\u2019s fine too, in moderation \u2014 just go for dark chocolate so you can get all the extra antioxidants and you won\u2019t get the same type of sugar crash as you would with milk chocolate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_pear1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_pear1.png\" alt=\"illustration_pear\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>When you need to power up\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with having a morning coffee or the occasional energy drink, but neither\u2019s a great choice to get you through the afternoon slump. Instead, try substituting fizzy drinks with flavoured sparkling water, or bring your own water bottle to work and throw in some lemon or lime slices in the morning. It tastes great and is a good source of electrolytes, a bit like a natural energy drink.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_mug2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_mug2.png\" alt=\"illustration_mug\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>When you need energy for endurance\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re working long hours or you\u2019ve just found out you\u2019ve got to stay late for a project, don\u2019t try to see it through with energy drinks \u2014 you\u2019ll just end up crashing. Instead, think protein or fibre-rich foods like hummus, oatmeal, salmon, or beans: they\u2019ll all keep you going for hours. If you\u2019ve got time to cook, try\u00a0making\u00a0a curry. The spices in the sauce can give you an instant lift, and the protein in the meat can help keep you going long term.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_salad1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_salad1.png\" alt=\"illustration_salad\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your turn \u2014 what\u2019s your favourite work snack?
