When you work at home, do you take the opportunity to take good care of your body’s need for quality foods or do you just go for convenience with whatever is in easy reach?
I admit to the latter much of the time, but it’s a habit I’m trying to change.
At the best of times, I’m really not much of a home maker, let alone a kitchen goddess, lol! I’d much rather be on my laptop researching and writing and shaping my business.
(They say that women with clean houses don’t have a computer! ROFL! How TRUE – at least in my case!)
So, from the time I get up, this is probably where you’ll find me. With a cup of brewed black coffee. Eventually, I start getting hungry, so then it’s in search of some filling. I want it quick and easy. Not much, if any, preparation required.
So here’s my top-of-mind list of quick and easy and healthy things to eat when I’m distracted by hunger:
- Nuts
Bananas
Apples and other tidy fruits
Muesli with yogurt
Health bars
Dried fruit
Boiled eggs
Cheese slices or cubes
Carrot
Seeds
If you’re a little bit more organised, you can make yourself some sandwiches or a cut lunch. This is especially helpful if you have to make lunch for others in your household.
Oh, and drink lots of water too while you’re working at your computer. I’ve actually got hourly reminders set in Outlook, to just have a sip, to keep my brain hydrated. And throw a slice of lemon into your water, to alkalize it.
Over to you:
What nutrious and yummy snacks – on – the – run do you organise for yourself?
