Healthy Snack Alternatives

Ideas for healthy food stations and snacks for your next meeting or conference

Eating healthy during long meetings and conferences can be a struggle. It’s easy to grab whatever is presented throughout the day whether it’s a cookie, bag of chips, or doughnut.

Sugary and carb-loaded food options can leave attendees feeling bloated or sluggish. In order to keep the energy high, offer healthier food options during breaks.

Below are five healthier alternatives for your snack bars:

1. A trail mix station

This array of dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate was displayed at one of our recent events. Guests could fill a small bowl with the array of options to snack on while the meeting was in progress.

4. Cake pop alternatives

Cake pops are a fun and easy sweet treat but not quite the healthiest option. Swap out the cake pops for banana or apple slices that can be dipped in something sweet. Although the toppings aren’t the healthiest, it sure beats a sugary filled cake ball.

5. Quick breakfast bites

For early morning meetings offer guests quick breakfast options so that they can get to the meeting on time and not miss out on the most important meal of the day. These yogurt parfaits are an easy grab and go option:
