So, I work as a customer service rep and sit at a desk all day... I need snack ideas to keep at work because I am dying!! We have a small fridge so I could put some small stuff in there, and I can keep stuff in my desk drawers... just needs to be filling and easy to eat/munch on, not very messy and not smelly!!
Work Friendly Snack Ideas?

Let's see, I guess the more common ones would be...<br><br>
Trail mix (lots of energy plus dried fruit for those "bound up" days...)<br>
Snackable fruit like grapes, berries, cut up pieces of melon<br>
The Ubiquitous Box of Saltine-Type Crackers (it's the only way I can get through the morning without feeling yucky)<br><br>
Right now I am in love with Annie's Chocolate Graham bunnies...not terribly healthy I guess, but not overly-sweet and awfully yummy...<br><br>
I'm sure other mammas have more creative ideas then mine!

Yogurt (or those tubes of it maybe)<br>
String cheese<br>
Those packages of whole wheat cracker sandwiches with PB in the middle<br>
Apple slices (dip them in lemon juice & they won't get brown)<br><br>
ETA: I just thought - why not make a healthy protein shake/smoothie at home the night before and freeze it. Then you could have all sorts of things in it - spinach, banana, ice cream, etc. It would thaw during the day and you could sip on it and keep your blood sugar up because of the protein infusion.

Goldfish crackers!<br><br>
Oh, what I wouldn't give for Goldfish Crackers, especially the pretzel ones. There aren't any at the store, and they are my favorite snack item.

I rely on wheat pretzel twists and FiberOne bars. Also peanut butter crackers - but these may have a smell that wouldn't work as well in a customer service area.

Honey grahams are really helping me. If you take fruit, freeze it (I dont know why, it makes it better). Club crackers with cream cheese. Mmm.

I know, I'd kill for some variety. Pizza, hmm, maybe I need to try that for dinner tonight...

I agree with everyone that nuts, dried fruit, cheese, and crackers go a long way right now. Plus, there is such a wide variety in each catetory--almonds, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds; raisins, apricots, cherries, pineapple, apple slices; string cheese, cheddar, mozzarella; saltines, graham crackers, oyster crackers, cheddar crackers.<br><br>
Since you have access to a fridge, I also love snacking on strips of cold grilled chicken. Fruit leathers are good for a quick sugar boost. And, of course, the easy fresh fruit and vegetables like apple slices, bananas, baby carrots, chopped cauliflower, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes; you can pair them with all kinds of dip like sour cream, salad dressing, cream cheese, chili, nut butters, hummus, salsa.<br><br>
Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? I love them for healthy snacks.
