Fresh fruits: Fresh fruits like strawberries, pineapples, apples, bananas are good for all employees. Bananas contain potassium and are filling as well as easy to eat on the go. You can even bring seasonal fruits to work to switch it up.

Nuts: Nuts like almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, are healthy as well as filling. They are easy to carry around and can be had between meals or even while travelling to work as it is a non-perishable snack. It has a good combination of macronutrients, and a high amount of fiber.
