Hitting that afternoon slump? Thinking of taking a walk to the nearest vending machine for a mid-day pick me up? Well, stay away and consider these healthy alternatives to help get you through the day.
Cottage Cheese
This power food will give you lots of protein packed in a small cup.
Fruit
Lots of fruits, such as bananas, give your body a dose of glucose. And because they can digest quickly, they are a quick and nutritious way to energize your body. You could top your banana with peanut or almond butter for the perfect snack.
Greek Yogurt
This snack has almost double the protein of regular yogurts.
Water Packed Tuna
Avoid the oil-packed tuna and opt for the water one instead. A single can will give you 22 grams of protein.
Turkey
Just 3 ounces of turkey can give you up to 25 grams of protein.
Hummus
Try dipping vegetables in this for a protein-filled snack. Half a cup of hummus will give you 6 grams of protein.
Eggs
Try taking a hardboiled egg with you to the office. The egg white has the most protein and will be a tasty, fulfilling treat.
Lentils
These protein-filled grains are great tossed on a salad. One cup has 22 grams of protein.
Sweet potato
This snack is sure to fight off mid-afternoon fatigue because it is high in carbohydrates, vitamin A and vitamin C. They also make for a healthier alternative to french fries.
Honey
Just a spoonful of honey is equal to that of an energy drink. Just add a bit to your breakfast yogurt or afternoon tea to fuel your body throughout the day.
