Research reveals 11:50am is the optimum time for a snack at work

New research suggests the UK’s favourite time for a snack at work is 11:50am.

The survey questioned 500 UK office workers and found seven out of 10 of us don’t make it through the morning without snacking. The research was commissioned by Nestlé Professional, which is launching its new range of Nature’s Heart products.

Over two thirds of consumers in the workplace are currently being driven outside of work to buy snacks. This is due to a lack of choice, wanting better quality, nicer taste or because they don’t find the type of snack they want at work. The new range of Nature’s Heart aims to fill this gap with delicious, responsibly sourced snacks that are a source of fibre.

The range is entirely vegan and is naturally indulgent. It includes goldenberries, which are sweet and tangy, high in fibre, high in iron and source of potassium. Nature’s Heart fruits and trail mixes are a delicious morning snack, while the dark chocolate fruits and glazed nuts offer consumers a sweeter more indulgent choice for an afternoon treat.

The full range includes:

• Blueberry & goji trail mix – Delicious blueberries, goji berries, apricots and tangy goldenberries combined with a medley of crunchy nuts and seeds. A naturally high fibre snack that’s bursting with flavour.
• Strawberry, banana & pistachio trail mix – Juicy strawberries, chewy banana, tangy goldenberries and sweet goji berries combined with crunchy almonds, pistachios and seeds. A natural high fibre snack that’s bursting with flavour.
• Dark chocolate goldenberries – Tangy goldenberries covered in rich dark chocolate and lightly dusted with cacao. Naturally delicious and high in fibre.
• Dark chocolate bananas – Enjoy the mouth-watering taste of sweet, chewy dried banana covered in rich dark chocolate and lightly dusted with cacao. Naturally delicious and high in fibre.
• Tropical mix – A delicious mix of soft, juicy mango, pineapple and banana. A tasty, natural source of fibre snack.
• Pineapple & chilli cashews – A sweet and spicy mix of creamy cashews, juicy pineapple, tangy goldenberries and crunchy sesame seeds, lightly coated with a chilli infused coconut nectar. A delicious source of fibre.
