work stash suggestions...
Last week I ran into a friend at Whole Foods while I was reading the
labels on the cups of soup. I was looking for a lower sodium version to keep at my desk. Soup does not tempt me and I like to have a few things at my desk that I will not want to break into for days that I am just extra hungry or have to work late or whatever. You know, something better than the 7-11 type place across the street where I am likely to go with the less expensive candy bar rather than the more expensive "healthier" alternative. What do you keep at your desk for these situations? -- jmk in NC |

What do you keep at your desk for these situations? -- jmk in NC Is there a microwave in your office? Check the international shelves of your grocery store and see if they have TastyBite food. It's spicy because it's India style but you can get it with the rice and it is shelf stable. I'm going to stock up on it before I have surgery in a month, also Jyoti canned food. It's not soup, it's vegetarian (maybe even sakahara) and it's delicious. There's also a brand of shelf stable Gang Pha soup (Thai). Also a mix of almonds, cheerios, peanuts, and raisins. Complete protein, cholesterol killing, high fiber, plus some sweetness. Mariani dried fruit: prunes, apricots, mixed fruit (I don't really like pears or dried apples, so I stick with the first two). Costco has the big resealable bags. Low sodium, high fiber and plenty of other nutrients. |

I typically have fruit and veggies on hand (that I bring from home) but I like to have some non-tempting items around as well. I used to have Soup At Hand (still have one) and stuff but now I am finding them to be too high in sodium (970 mg per serving!) I will certainly check out the soups that you suggested. Thanks again! -- jmk in NC |
