Summer Snacking: Light & Energizing Pantry Picks for Warmer Weather

Summer is here, and with it comes longer days, warmer temps and the need to rethink our usual snacking habits. Heavy foods can slow us down, especially during a hot afternoon in the office. That’s why it’s essential to stock your break room with light, energizing and hydrating options that keep your team productive, refreshed and satisfied throughout the workday.

At BostonbeaN, we offer a wide variety of healthy, seasonal snacks and drinks designed to support focus, provide energy and help your team stay cool all summer.

1. Fresh, Hydrating Fruits To Beat the Heat

Fruits are nature’s perfect summer snack. Stock your break room with:

  • Oranges, Bananas and Apples – naturally hydrating and full of essential vitamins
  • Fruit Cups – pre-portioned and packed with nutrients
  • Blueberry, Strawberry and Apple Parfaits – cool, creamy and energizing with the perfect combination of yogurt and fruit

Pro Tip: Keep a bowl of fresh fruit visible in the break room to encourage healthy grab-and-go snacking.
