Who says a snack can’t be leftovers? If you’­re craving something warm and filling, opt for a cup of lentil soup, which is loaded with plant-based protein and fiber to keep you full, Freuman says. And since lentil soup is a melting pot of spices, you’ll feel satisfied with all the delicious flavors coming through in your dish.

Trade in tortilla chips for broccoli florets, either raw or steamed when you need a crunchy fix, Ilana Muhlstein, M.S., R.D.N., creator of 2B Mindset, suggests. “Many grocery stores now sell refrigerated or frozen broccoli florets that can be steamed in the microwave, making it easy to prepare at your workplace,” she says. Plus, avocado is packed with healthy omega-3 fats, as well as vitamins and minerals.
