At work, you either have something for the small appetite in between or, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the bakery next door or to the cafeteria. What makes the whole situation a bit trickier, is working from home.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Snacks at Home\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To be prepared for the workday at home, it is no longer necessary to prepare snacks in advance or to pack a chocolate bar. Simply going to the refrigerator or just grabbing something out of the candy drawer is enough.<br \/>\nThe most dangers of eating unhealthy are lurking at home, since the snacks are within reach. For example, you are preparing a coffee in your kitchen and seconds later you\u2019ll go back to your workplace with some cookies.<\/p>\n<p>But how can we endure these cravings? And how can we munch without making our fingers fatty and without leaving a crumbling keyboard behind.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">The &#8220;Know-How&#8221;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Especially in the professions that are performed from the desk, a conscious and healthy nutrition is essential. Here, it should be taken care of that we provide ourselves with essential nutrients, but at the same time do not consume anything to high in calories.<\/p>\n<p>Snacks are there to satisfy our hunger until the next bigger meal and counteract our afternoon sleepiness. For this reason they should be a healthy mix of energy suppliers and keeping us full, which gives us the push we need.<br \/>\nIn other words, just the right thing for a stressful workday.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t have to be boring at all. Often it is advised, instead of eating chocolate to just grab some fruits or a carrot instead of a cereal bar. However, this is not everyone\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Snack Tips<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What we need to boost our efficiency and to satisfy the small hunger, are snacks, which provide us with complex carbohydrates, lots of vitamins and healthy fats.<\/p>\n<p>The most common recommendations are fruits (e.g. in a fruit salad) or vegetable-sticks with a dip. Dried fruits like apricots and mangos, nuts or even a (few) piece(s) of dark chocolate are also included, but they are high in calories, which is why these snacks should only be enjoyed in moderation. Nevertheless, they provide the necessary energy and satisfy our hunger for a longer period of time.<br \/>\nSmoothies are only one of the classics. Just put your favorite fruits or whatever you have at home in the blender, add some yogurt (plant-based or milk), puree everything and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>To bring a little variety, we have a few suggestions for you, how you can easily prepare your own delicious snack.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Recipes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Parmesan crackers<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13723\" style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13723\" class=\"wp-image-13723\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Seasoned cheese cracker\" width=\"220\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2023\/01\/cheese-food-g5dd9b5608_1280-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/de\/photos\/k%c3%a4se-nahrungsmittel-k%c3%a4sechips-chips-915964\/\">Pixabay<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>100 g Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n<li>Cayenne pepper (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finely grate the parmesan cheese (or buy it already grated) and season it with cayenne pepper.
