Awesome Desk Snacks

5/6/2020

When you’re stuck at your desk, a snack can make everything better. The best snacks are satisfying, portable, portioned, nutritious, and delicious. Here are some ideas that can keep you going through the afternoon slump:

• Trail mix - Portion it out ahead of time and watch for varieties full of candy.

• Popcorn - Enjoy it as-is or get wild with the seasonings.

• Fruit - Apples, pears, and bananas are already portioned and packaged by nature and ready to go.

• Almonds/Pistachios/Peanuts - A small bowl of nuts can go a long way.

• Kombucha - It’s fizzy, refreshing and full of probiotics.

• String Cheese - Easy and fun to eat so you’ll have a little diversion before getting back to your inbox.

• Protein Balls - We’re obviously big fans of our Low-Carb Protein Balls and they do check all the boxes for an awesome snack!

• Peanut Butter - Eat a spoonful or spread it on a rice cake or apple slices.

• Dried Roasted Seaweed - Something different that’s got lots of vitamins and is a crunchy alternative to chips or crackers.

• Tuna - Either from a can or pouch, it can be eaten by itself or with some whole grain crackers.

• Wasabi Peas - Some fiber and protein and lots of invigorating heat! Just be sure to portion these out as they’re calorically-dense.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
