Nuts & Seeds

Nuts and seeds are absolutely ideal desk snacks. Both store well and are easy to snack on. Nuts tend to be rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and fat, while seeds are packed with protein, vitamin B, minerals, fat and dietary fibers. 

Just stick to a handful of each when you snack, as they can also be high in calories.
