Snacks for school and work

8/20/2026

Don't underestimate snacks. This is the meal that can decide whether fatigue and sugar cravings hit us in the afternoon. A well-chosen snack keeps you full for longer and makes it easier to concentrate at school and at work. Just choose it in the context of the whole menu – is the school canteen cooking a sweet lunch? Go for a savoury snack instead. Got a hectic day full of errands ahead? Feel free to take kefir, a protein bar and an apple. Just don't skip the snack.

Where to start? Protein, carbohydrates, fibre

Each daily portion should consist of three basic components:

Protein help keep you full for longer and can be found, for example, in quark, yoghurts, cheeses or cottage cheese.
Carbohydrates provide the energy needed for school lessons, work meetings and sports activities. Bread and pastries, oat flakes or fruit are an ideal choice.
Fibre supports digestion and helps you feel full for longer.

A healthy basis

Sweet snacks: Pancakes, sweet spreads or granola

If you keep the basic rule of three key components in mind when preparing it, a sweet snack works just as well during the day as a savoury one. It can be based on pancakes, waffles, sweet muffins, granola, porridge, plain yoghurts or sweet spreads topped with fruit. No time at all? Grab a kefir, a bar and a piece of fruit. That counts too.

Sweet snacks

Savoury snacks: Sandwiches, cheeses or vegetable snacks

It may seem impossible to come up with a savoury snack that isn't a ham roll. But especially with snacks for children, it is much more important that the snack contains all three basic components and the child eats all of it than whether you choose avocado or tuna once.
If you feel that rolls are the only thing that will go down well, feel free to experiment with small things – alternate different types of rolls, replace butter with Lučina, Gervais or a similar fresh cheese, and choose the best-quality ham.

Something to enjoy: savoury snacks, sweets and nuts

Does a perfectly functional snack without a pinch of joy scare you? Absolutely Small treats that simply make you happy are also a valid part of a snack and can save an otherwise demanding day. The most popular choices include nuts, dried fruit, fruit pouches, jerky, dried cheese or smaller sweets and quality protein bars. Nuts are also practical thanks to easy storage and go well with both sweet and savoury snacks. And even better when you pack a little surprise for the children in the form of fruit snails or savoury dinosaurs.

Where to pack it: Lunch boxes, containers and bottles

Practical or fun packaging is just as important as the snack itself. The right box will help keep food fresh and prevent it from being damaged in transit.

Snack boxes with compartments let you keep bread, fruit and small treats separate. Drinking bottles make it easier to stay hydrated throughout the day. Matching sets containing a box and a bottle are also popular with younger children and students.

Whether you are preparing a snack for school, the office or a trip, the right equipment will make organising easier and help you have everything at hand.
