i pack nuts and whole-grain cereal (hot and cold) in my office desk and power bars in my purse. why? so i’m prepared should i need a satisfying snack to tide me over. sometimes you are caught in traffic or you need to work past the lunch hour on a project. things happen but hunger waits for no one. the key to a great snack is choosing a “whole food” (not processed) that contributes calories along with nutrients and some fiber. now i’m adding some bags of dried fruit to my office snack stash. sun maid offers a wonderful dried fruit option with 3 grams of fiber per 1/4 cup serving — sun maid mixed fruit. sweet apricots plums tasty pears and apples are ripened by the sun then dried and packed in foil-fresh zipper bags. the result is super moist and delicious dried mixed fruit you can snack on right from the bag. each 1/4-cup serving also contributes 100 calories 26 grams carbohydrates 290 mg potassium 4% daily value of vitamin a and iron in addition to many phytochemicals. sun maid has two other dried fruit options with 2 grams of fiber per 1/4 cup serving — goldens & cherries and fruit bits.
what's the best way to pack convenient healthy food to go?
