Some people get in from work and immediately get back to work in the kitchen, boiling pasta and chopping up veggies, or throwing something nice and easy in the air fryer.
Others find it hard to take on a big meal, and with low energy levels and low appetite acting on them, snacks are the only thing they can really stomach.
And that’s OK – everyone’s approach to food is specific to them! But snacking can be a little nutritionally void compared to a square meal, and you might not be getting what you really need.
As such, we’ve put together a few ideas for making your after-work snack routine a little healthier.
Like to Dip? Start Using Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is a tasty source of protein, and it goes down smooth (or crunchy) with quite a few healthy snacks. Fruit slices, whether you’re a fan of apples or pears, as well as vegetable sticks, trail mix, and crackers.
Just one jar of peanut butter could last a good couple weeks at a time, so it’s pretty cost effective as far as dips go too! Not to mention the quick sandwich options, as well as the desserts you can put together in 10 minutes too.
All in all, peanut butter is something to always have in the cupboard for those difficult after-work hunger needs!
Make Your Drinks a Little More Energy Boosting
If tiredness is the one thing you struggle most with after work, some structural lifestyle changes might be required in the long run.
But for now, you’re tired, you’re a bit hungry, and you need something that’ll solve these problems in the next 5 minutes. Off to the snack cupboard you go!
And seeing as you’re likely to grab a drink to go with your snacks, we’ve got an idea that could boost your energy levels: using some fast acting Delta 9 THC drink drops in your favorite beverages.
With a supplement like this, you could turn that after-work cup of cocoa or glass of lemonade into a drink that could restore a bit of your ‘oomph’.
Deconstruct the Meal You Were Thinking of Having
If you get in after work and just think to yourself that there’s no way you can stand to cook tonight, don’t. You really don’t have to!
Instead, take your pick of the ingredients you were going to use and eat them as-is (as long as that is safe to do so!). Eating meal ingredients as snack foods is one of the healthiest ways to get your vitamins and minerals while being low energy and out of focus.
Of course, you may need a bit of sauce to go with raw broccoli and carrots, but you can make a super quick and easy cheeseboard from the deli meats you were going to chop up for that pot pie!
When finding yourself in an after-work snack routine, small and simple changes will make the world of difference to your diet!
