OFFICE SNACKING: HIGH-FIBRE SNACKS THAT WON'T CAUSE A 3PM SLUMP

The best desk snacks are portion-controlled, high in fibre and low in sugar, because fibre slows digestion and keeps energy steadier than a sugary snack. A single 30g NuPop pack is 136-137 kcal and delivers 5.7-5.9g of fibre.

WHY THE 3PM SLUMP HAPPENS

An afternoon energy dip is common after a carbohydrate-heavy lunch or a snack that is high in free sugars. Blood glucose rises quickly, then falls, and concentration usually falls with it.

UK government advice is 30g of fibre a day for adults, and most adults eat closer to 20g. Desk snacking is one of the easiest places to close that gap, because it happens every day at roughly the same time.

Practical office criteria: single-serve so portion size is decided for you, shelf-stable so it survives a drawer, no fridge required, and no mess on a keyboard.
