Best Snacks for Boosting Productivity at Work

Snack Your Way to Success

Certain snacks have earned their spot as productivity powerhouses. As with any type of food, balance and moderation is key. If you’re looking to avoid a glut of sugar and salt that only gives you spurts of energy – then explore a few of our energy-boosting favourites:

Walnuts: Power Through The Day

With an antioxidant content surpassing that of any other nut, walnuts are a key factor in maintaining optimal brain function as you age, thanks to their abundance of omega-3 fatty acids.

Brazil Nuts: Battle The Burn Out

Bringing a wealth of selenium, along with a dose of Vitamin E and B helps your body to use energy-yielding nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fat and protein for fuel. Brazil nuts are a nutritional powerhouse worth embracing. Brazils offer a refreshing twist to elevate salads, couscous, and burritos.

Don’t overlook their unique flavour and health benefits, available raw and in milk chocolate.
