Keep a Basket of Fruit at Work for Fast and Healthy Snacks

Keeping a basket of fruit at your desk or in your office is the key to staying on a healthy diet. One of the most common places for people to lose their resolve to eat healthy is at work, usually because they don’t have easy access to healthy snacks when they’re at work. For most people the choices available for a quick snack at work consist of whatever chips or candy is left in the vending machine or whatever is leftover from a co-worker’s birthday celebration. Once and awhile a client or vendor might come by and buy everyone pizza. Those who are desperate for a snack may leave to go grab a high calorie and high fat coffee drink or pastry. All of those snacking options can undo all the hard work you’ve done trying to eat healthy and get fit. But if you buy a fruit basket and keep it at your desk or in the break room you’ll be able to grab a quick, energizing snack that is sweet and that is also good for you.

Citrus fruit is the perfect snack for work. The sweet taste will satisfy those sugar cravings and the extra fiber will help you stay full until it’s time for your next meal. Oranges and other citrus fruits contain natural sugars that are easy for your body to break down and use as fuel, so you won’t get the same crash that you’d get using coffee or other stimulants to try and stay awake at work. Oranges and grapefruits also have less than one hundred calories per fruit, which is a lot healthier for you than candy or chips that can have up to five hundred calories. Citrus fruit are also packed with Vitamin C, which will help your immune system fight off all those germs and viruses that end up getting passed around an office.

Keeping a basket of fruit at the office is the perfect snack solution because the basket will look pretty and inviting and the fruit will stay fresh for a long time. You can share your fruit basket with the others in the office, or order an extra large basket to be placed in the break room so that when people take your fruit you will still have plenty to eat. You can also leave your basket of fruit on your desk as a decoration that will also make it easy to grab a healthy snack.
