Workplace Snack Guide
In many fast-paced working environments being able to stay focused and regenerate can often become difficult. Whether this is trying to balance meetings or needing to brainstorm ideas for your next project, it is crucial you keep your energy levels up. The quick fix is to grab a sugary treat because they increase your energy levels the most, right? But what if there was a healthier alternative which is not only packed with protein but also makes the perfect snack to keep you fueled throughout the workday.
Top 5 healthiest nuts and their benefits
Pistachios
These vibrant nuts are packed with nutrients but lower in calories and fat than many other nuts. Did you know that pistachios are a great source of plant-based protein because they are one of the few plants that have all nine essential amino acids! This is the go-to snack if you are on a plant-based diet, as this small nut is known as a ‘complete protein’. A Benefit of pistachios are that they are filled with melatonin which promotes healthy sleep as well as overall gut and eye health.
Walnuts
Walnuts are not just delicious, they are filled with nutrition, these nuts are rich in omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for brain health. For this reason, walnuts are a good addiction to pick up if your diet doesn’t consist of the likes of oily fish. Keeping your mood up in the workplace may get increasingly hard at times but if you decide to snack on walnuts, they are packed with vitamin B6, which has been shown to potentially boost your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
Peanuts
Although they are not actually considered nuts, they are packed with protein, fibre and essential minerals. They contain vitamin B3 which helps to keep the skin healthy and is required to convert food into energy, supports a healthy nervous system and reduces tiredness. Peanuts are commonly enjoyed as roasted peanuts which can come coated in a range of flavours like our honey chilli peanuts and wasabi peanuts.
Almonds
Almonds are one of the most popular nuts for their flavour and crunchy texture, almonds have been associated with many health benefits such as improving heart health, aiding in weight management and ensuring you have healthy bones. This is because almonds contain 15 essential nutrients including being rich in fibre, calcium, magnesium and vitamin E. You can eat almonds as a standalone snack or they can be utilised in recipes.
