It isn\u2019t always consumed at traditional meal times or eaten at a table. But according to those between the ages of 18 and 35 (Millennials), it contributes to their daily nutritional needs and functions as a meal.<\/p>\n<p>What is it?<\/p>\n<p>It is a healthy snack. Millennials are eating a lot of snacks. 92 percent of individuals recently surveyed by Surveygoo said they replace a meal with a <a href=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/healthy.php\">snack<\/a> at least once a week. 50 percent do it four times a week and 26 percent, do it seven times per week. That is a lot of snacking.<\/p>\n<p>Since Millennials are now the largest segment of the population in the U.S. workforce, Baltimore, MD employers need to reexamine their break room snack, <a href=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/beverages.php\">beverage<\/a>, and food options. At the top of the list of preferred ingredients for healthy snacks are whole grains, real fruit pieces, and nuts. These healthy ingredients are not just beneficial for Millennials. They are better for everyone. When researching different healthy snack options for your employees, here are three things to consider:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Nutritional Needs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Will it stop hunger between meals?<\/li>\n<li>Will it help me to stay hydrated?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-173\" src=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/AdobeStock_87217509-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Snacks in Baltimore, MD\" width=\"420\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/AdobeStock_87217509-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/AdobeStock_87217509-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/AdobeStock_87217509-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/AdobeStock_87217509.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Will it help me to manage my health and diet?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Refuel or Energy Pick-Me-Up<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Will it give me an energy boost?<\/li>\n<li>Will it increase my mental focus?<\/li>\n<li>Will it help decrease stress?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Whole Grains (oats, brown rice, millet, and quinoa)<\/li>\n<li>Plant-Based Proteins (legumes, nuts, and seeds)<\/li>\n<li>Fruits and Vegetables (berries, apple, and sweet potato)<\/li>\n<li>Low in Sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these areas can offer benefits when considered on their own.
