7 Healthy Office Snacks That Beat Chips (and Why Makhana Tops the List)
The 4 pm slump hits every office. The easy fix is a packet of chips or namkeen, but fried snacks leave you feeling heavy and hungry again an hour later. Here are seven desk-friendly snacks that keep you going through the afternoon.
- Roasted makhana: light, crunchy and naturally gluten free, with plant protein and fibre. A jar of Mkoji Butter Delight or Nagpuri Tadka fits easily in a desk drawer.
- Roasted chana: high in protein and budget friendly.
- A piece of fruit: banana, apple or guava, no prep needed.
- Mixed nuts: a small handful of almonds or walnuts.
- Sprouts chaat: pack it from home with lemon and onion.
- Curd or buttermilk: cooling and good for digestion.
- Peanut chikki: a small piece when you need something sweet.

Makhana (fox nuts / lotus seeds) is roasted, not fried, stays crunchy in an airtight jar, and comes in flavours so you never get bored. Mkoji makhana has no added preservatives, and our Butter Delight is made with real butter and no palm oil.
