Healthy Eating Hacks for Busy Professionals: Quick Meals On the Go

August 2, 2024 · Read Time: 1 Min

Staying busy is a way of life for the modern office worker. With so many tasks to check off the to-do list each day (and only so many hours to get it all done), some things are sure to be sacrificed along the way. For many, the fast pace of professional life means healthy eating often gets left behind. Convenience is the name of the game when trying to fit a meal into a busy day, and what is convenient isn’t always as healthy as your employees would like.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Healthy foods can be both convenient and delicious, and all it takes is a little planning—and working with the right partner. InReach can present your employees with a wide range of fresh, healthy snacks and meals that meet their dietary goals in whatever time they have available. Call today to learn more!

Healthy Eating Hacks for Busy Professionals

Pre-Packaged Salads Satisfy

When thinking about quick meals on the go, salads might not come to mind. Burgers and fries tend to be the fast meal of choice for many, and while those have their place, healthier options can also be fast.

Pre-packaged salads are a great example of a fast meal that is healthy and enjoyable. In a micro market from InReach, employees are sure to find delicious salads that they can simply pick up and dive into in a matter of moments. There is no waiting for the salad to be prepared, yet it is fresh, tasty, and nutritious.

Staying Hydrated Is Helpful

Hydration is a huge part of a healthy diet. The average office worker can easily go hours without drinking anything when they get drawn into meetings and are absorbed by their work. Suddenly, they look up and are feeling hungry, may have a headache, and just want to grab whatever they can to feel better and get back to work.

Consistently consuming fluids throughout the day can avoid dehydration and may make it easier to stay on a healthy eating track. The hydration solutions available through InReach effectively address this problem by putting desirable drinks within arm’s reach throughout the day. Whether it’s a well-stocked coffee station, water services that make clean water available to everyone, or some cold drinks in a micro market, we can elevate your refreshments to a new level.

Always Keep Healthy Snacks Close

There are sure to be stretches of the workday that require employees to be at their desks for an extended period. A client Zoom meeting may run long, or a project needs to get across the finish line and it’s an all-hands-on-deck situation. For those cases, having quality snacks waiting can prevent a healthy eating plan from veering off track. Using vending services from InReach, you can present your employees with a variety of snacks so they can pick out something to slide into a desk drawer and hang onto for a moment when a quick snack is required.

Healthy Convenience Is InReach

So, how do you eat healthy when super busy? It comes down to having the right options close at hand. Adding a micro market to your office will enable your employees to make choices based on what is right for them, not just what is convenient. You could also explore the Just Baked machine, a temperature-controlled kiosk that provides access to hot food around the clock.
