30+ Healthy Snacks for Work (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
30+ Healthy Snacks for Work (V, GF): my favorite healthy snack ideas that are vegan, gluten-free, protein-packed! These quick ‘n easy recipes are perfect for bringing to work, and make for great healthy snack options!
Snack Time!!! Make that good healthy snack time! Ahhh… those words are like sweet music to my ears. When I was a kid, tasty snacks were basically the only thing keeping me from falling asleep in the middle of class. Okay, fine, I fell asleep anyway, but I did get up in time for afternoon snacks!
Of course I did. 😉
As an adult, I now leverage healthy snack ideas to keep me going throughout the day while I work, and to keep my eyes from drooping (because for some odd reason, napping in the middle of a meeting is frowned upon). I dominate that snack attack before it even thinks about showing up.
Smug bugger!
Just in case you love/need/want to make it rain via healthy snacks like I do, both at work and everywhere else, I thought it would be super fun & yummy to bring together my favorite protein-packed, super easy, vegan & gluten free healthy snack recipes! This way, you have all the good healthy snack options you need for work, late night snacking, and to make for your kids! 😉
Without further ado, here are my favorite gluten free healthy snacks for work! Enjoy.
