Keep a Basket of Fruit at Work for Health, Quick Snacks

A basket of fruit is the ideal snack to bring to the office. Keeping a basket of fruit in the break room or even at your desk is a smart way to make sure that you always have fresh, healthy fruit on hand for snacking. If you don’t have any healthy options immediately at hand during the workday you’re like to end up eating chips or candy bars from a vending machine or ordering food from a restaurant or stopping at a coffee cafe for a high calorie sugar filled coffee and a pastry to break up the boredom of the workday and give yourself the energy that you need to get through the rest of the day. But, if you keep healthy fruits nearby so that you won’t have to go looking for a snack you are much more likely to eat an orange, or a grapefruit, or some other piece of healthy citrus fruit as a snack.

The natural fiber in oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits will help fill you up and keep you from getting hungry before your next meal. The natural sugars in citrus fruits will give your body the energy needs to keep going without causing unnatural spikes in your blood sugar which can result in a nasty sugar crash. When you eat a piece of citrus fruit as a snack you can count on the energy from that snack to carry you through until the next meal even though that fruit has half the calories of chips or candy bars. If you buy a basket of fruit to keep at your desk you won’t need to worry about getting bored eating the same snacks everyday because you can buy an assortment of citrus fruits so that you can choose a different fruit for each snack. When the fruit is gone you can buy a mixed assortment box of fruit to replenish it, or have your co-workers chip in with you to buy more fruit.

You will also save money keeping a basket of fruit at work for snacking. The initial price of the basket of fruit is far less than the cost of an expensive cup of coffee two or three times a day, or the cost of buying overpriced chips and candy bars from vending machines. You’ll be amazed at how much money you can save by making the switch to keeping a basket of fruit at work instead of buying snacks to give you energy throughout the day.
