Between busy schedules, cold weather, and endless seasonal treats, staying healthy at work can feel extra challenging during the holidays. But there’s good news for HR leaders: Filling your break room with better-for-you Christmas snacks for the office will make healthy choices easier.
Traditional Christmas desserts are loaded with sugar, fat, and salt. They’re also typically low in healthy nutrients like protein and fiber. There’s nothing wrong with a little sweet treat, but eating too much sugar, fat, and salt can lead to all kinds of health issues. So, if you can get your team to swap a few servings of candy canes and fruitcake for better-for-you snacks, that can make a big difference for their health.
There’s no regulated definition of “better-for-you,” so it’s up to you and your snack provider to decide what that really means. Here at The FruitGuys, the office snacks that we deliver check these boxes:
Here are a few of our favorite Christmas office snacks to bring better health and holiday cheer to the workplace. They just might help your team stick to their healthy habits!
These clean-ingredient cookies taste sweet and festive thanks to real cranberries and vanilla. They’re packed with healthy ingredients too, like carrot fiber, flaxseed, and whole oat flour. Each bite is allergy-friendly and supports Every Body Eat, a women- and minority-owned company.
Chocolate and peppermint are a match made in heaven, and these unique snacks celebrate both flavors. They’re made with clusters of crispy, gluten-free quinoa and crushed peppermint dunked in decadent dark chocolate. Plus, they’re made in a solar-powered facility by Undercover Snacks, a women-owned business!
If a brownie were made from gingerbread, it would be a Gingerbread Junior: soft-baked, chewy, loaded with white chocolate chips, and full of warming spices. Juniors from Rule Breaker Snacks also have a healthy twist: Their number-one ingredient is chickpeas! Plus, they’re vegan, allergy-friendly, and certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and kosher.
It’s not Christmas without fudge, and these sandwich cookies will cure those cravings! They taste decadent but have just four grams of sugar per serving. They’re also made without artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors. Romeos hail from Rip Van, a creative minority-owned business run by first-generation Americans.
Cranberries make great sauce, juice, and jelly, but have you tried them dried? The ones in The FruitGuys’ snack packs are chewy, naturally sweet-tart, and fun to munch on in the office. Plus, they’re full of antioxidants and vitamins. Eating them may even protect against urinary tract infections, ulcers, and stomach cancer. Bag bottoms up!
While Gingerbread Juniors are soft and chewy, these little snaps live up to their name. They’re crisp, allergy-friendly, and made with organic ingredients. They’ve also got a boatload of certifications: organic, vegan, parve kosher, and non-GMO. We love that they come from Homefree, a B Corp founded by a mom who wanted to make inclusive, safe snacks for her son.
