Whether you are back to your office building environment or adapting to your new home work area it seems that the majority of people in our pandemic world are returning to work.  Maybe it was the health and safety concerns highlighted by the virus or the additional pounds gained while in our Covid-19 home quarantines, but it appears that now we are all focusing more intensely on eating in a more nutritious manner.  In your hectic, often chaotic, and extremely busy work mode it is crucial that every individual

take into consideration eating healthy work snacks and beverages.
