How to stay fueled and productive in the Covid-19 Era

The home office just became an essential part of daily life due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Many people have set up new work routines while trying to juggle their kids home from school.  Napa Nuts is here to provide a few snacking tips to make each day just a bit easier by taking away the hunger pangs.

Napa Nuts has already looked into how to set up snacks in the office break-room.  Now many people have the option to have the break-room within arm’s reach of the workstation. This could be both a curse and a blessing depending on which choices get made.  We are here to help you make informed decisions about how best to set up your home office for comfort, convenience and productivity.

Here at Napa Nuts, we are huge fans of Trail Mixes. We spend a lot of time thinking about our blends. We consider the flavor profiles between sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy. We think we have this down to a science and our repeat customers seem to agree with us.

If you are trying to stay healthy, one of the best choices for snacking are raw nuts. We have already covered all the reasons that eating nuts is healthy for you in a previous blog so we won’t cover all of that again. The basic summary is that healthy fats and protein are good for you.

Our top recommendation is the Raw California Blend of mixed nuts. We have all California grown pecans, almonds, walnuts, and pistachios. All of these nuts are individually sought after for their crunch and nutty flavor.

Trail Mixes with no or low added sugar are also a great choice. The dried fruit will add a bit more sweetness and chewiness to your snacking. The natural sugars found in fruit are a great energy boost and still give you the vitamins found in raw fruit. We mix our trail mixes every few days so anytime it is ordered someone is getting a fresh trail mix that hasn’t been sitting in a bag for months on the market shelf.

Our California Blend trail mix is a wonderful mix of dried fruit including raisins and apricots with some California grown nuts. We also offer the Performance Blend trail mix which was designed for elite athletes. Only raw nuts and natural sugars in this one.

Many people are trying to avoid added sugars right now. Some studies have shown, however, that there can be some benefits to eating Dark Chocolate. In order to get some of these health benefits, we recommend our Valley Blend Trail Mix. This one has natural fruit, some raw nuts, and some dark chocolate. There is no actual definition for “superfood”, but this counts in our book.

Snack safely, and snack often. With love, Napa Nuts
