How to eat healthy at the office and stay energized throughout the workday is extremely important given the busy work schedules many professionals have.  While most of us may reach for the chocolate bar or bag of chips, we may be better off with a nutritious nosh. Here at D2 Office Furniture + Design we are based in midtown and surrounded by healthy alternatives.

We highly recommend ready-made snacks to grab and stow in your desk drawer. For example string cheese is high in protein, offers a bit of fat and has only 80 calories. In addition to string cheese, some health bars also make a good snack, we suggest “Kind” or “Cliff” bars packed with fruit and nuts and high in fiber.
