21-Day Snacking Challenge @ Work - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the 21-Day Snacking Challenge @ Work?

The challenge encourages healthy eating choices. Everyone who registers receives a digital book that includes snack recipes created by high school culinary students and health education videos.

You also get access to our Healthy Snack Finder and messages during the challenge to keep you updated in inspired. We want you support each other by planning snack breaks together!

2. If I’m missing some the ingredients a recipe, do I have to make a special food purchase?

No. The Healthy Snack Finder has hundreds of recipes that match ingredients you may have on hand. You can also create a healthy snack. We’ve included some guidelines in question 7.

It’s OK to miss a day. We like for you to think ahead and plan your snack each day. Remember, you can make and enjoy a snack at any time.
