Keep Your Long-Distance Moving Crew Fueled Up With These Healthy Snacks
A long-distance move can feel daunting on your own, but the prospect of packing, loading and transporting your possessions doesn't feel quite as big when you hire a moving crew to take care of the work. You have the choice of either stepping aside and letting the crew members do their thing, or working alongside them from the start to the end of the move. In either case, it's a polite gesture to provide the crew with some refreshments. Sure, you can let the crew take care of their own meals and snacks, but providing the fare is a simple way to show your appreciation for all the hard work. In order to keep everyone working with high energy, opt for healthy choices. Here are some ideas.
Cold Water
It's pretty straightforward to provide chilled bottles of water to the moving crew, but many people provide soft drinks instead. While soft drinks are flavorful and may provide an initial boost of energy, their high sugar content can also lead to a crash. This means that the crew member who has a soft drink could be dragging his or her feet later on. Instead, water will keep the crew adequately hydrated, which is especially valuable when it's hot, and there's no risk of a crash.
Trail Mix
While you might want to first confirm that no one on the moving crew has a nut allergy, trail mix can provide a healthy source of energy without being heavy. A combination of nuts, seeds, dried fruit and more all work together to provide healthy fuel for everyone on the moving crew. There's a very low risk of a sugar crash, too — the high fiber content in the nuts will help to slow down the absorption of sugar from the dried fruit into the bloodstream, keeping the blood sugar levels stable.
High-Protein Wraps
Wraps are ideal for a day of work because they're easy to eat quickly and while on the go. Make sure, however, that the wraps fuel your crew, first and foremost. Opt for multi-grain wraps and load them with meat and cheese, as well as a hearty combination of vegetables. When it comes to a meal, people often buy pizza for the moving crew — but just imagine trying to lift heavy boxes and furniture with such a heavy meal in your stomach. The lightness of the wraps will provide healthy fuel for the crew without being overly heavy. Contact a company like Walsh Moving & Storage to learn more.
