Working From Home? 15 Easy Snack Ideas from the Nutrisystem Menu

If you’re working from home, you need healthy snack ideas for the kitchen that’s so close to your “office.” Unlimited access to your pantry makes it incredibly too easy to reach for unhealthy snacks throughout the day. Throw some stress into your work scenario (isn’t that a given?) and you run the risk of sabotaging your diet with snacking.

Are we going to tell you not to snack? No! If they’re the right foods, snacks can play a crucial role in keeping you from getting too hungry and overeating during the day, according to research, published in Advances in Nutrition. In fact, the Nutrisystem plan allows for two to three snacks a day.

According to a 2019 survey done by the International Food Information Council Foundation, 97% of Americans admit they snack. About a third say they do it a few times a week and another third report snacking once a day. About a quarter (the honest ones!) confess they snack multiple times a day.

You’ll stay on track and avoid auto-pilot snacking if you eat your snacks on a regular schedule. When trying to think up new snack ideas, we always like to go back to the basics and transform your favorite flavors into weight loss-friendly options.
