02 Jun Why You Shouldn’t Sleep on Functional Snacks
We’ve all been there: the 3 p.m. slump hits, and the breakroom calls. A sugary granola bar or a bag of chips might seem like the answer—but that’s a short-term fix with long-term costs.
Global Employee Health and Fitness shouldn’t only be in May! It’s time to take a closer look at what’s fueling your workplace this summer—and why functional snacks are the wellness upgrade your breakroom (and your team) needs.
Proximity to Junk Food Snacks
Everyone loves a quick snack. But most breakroom staples are high in sugar, low in nutrients, and designed to satisfy cravings—not support energy or focus.
Your team deserves better. When employees reach for snacks to power through their day, they should be getting fuel—not filler.
What Are Functional Snacks?
Functional snacks are designed with intention. They’re made with ingredients that go beyond basic nutrition to support:
- 🧠 Cognitive performance
- ⚡ Sustained energy
- 🛡️ Immunity and gut health
- 😊 Mood and focus
They don’t just fill you up—they elevate how you feel and function.
And no product embodies that better than Nakee Butter.
Meet Nakee Butter: The Ultimate Brain Fuel
Created to fuel the mind and body, Nakee Butter is a creamy, indulgent, single-serve nut butter packed with functional ingredients. In fact, there are two specific spreads, depending on what you need:
- Focus—Try the Focus spread for which includes fuel for your brain, such as cacao peanut butter.
- Immunity—Illness in the office can take forever for everyone to recover. An Immunity spread is a great way to combat this, especially in the cooler months.
This is functional snacking done right: portable, satisfying, and actually good for you. If you’re looking for quick and easy daily solutions packed with protein, both flavors will benefit your office greatly.
It would be naive to only put healthy snacks in the breakroom—unless that fits your company culture, of course—but creating a balance in the breakroom is key.
A Side-by-Side Snack Comparison
Let’s compare two common breakroom choices:
🥱 Typical Candy Bar
- High in sugar and refined carbs
- Empty calories with little nutritional value
- Quick energy spike, followed by a crash
- Leads to brain fog, fatigue, and reduced productivity
⚡ Nakee Butter Spread
- Packed with healthy fats, protein, and MCT oil
- Antioxidant-rich cacao to boost mood and focus
- No refined sugars—just clean, stable energy
- Supports cognitive performance and lasting satiety
One is a temporary fix. The other is a strategic advantage.
Why HR & Workplace Leaders Should Care
If you’re in charge of employee experience, culture, or facilities, snack selection might not seem like your highest priority. But here’s the truth: Your breakroom is a reflection of your culture.
Stocking functional snacks like Nakee Butter sends a powerful message:
- “We care about your well-being.”
- “We want you to thrive—not just get through the day.”
- “We invest in food that helps you do your best work.”
And the best part? You don’t need a full wellness overhaul—just smarter options that align with how your team wants to live and work.
