Sweden isn't just the land of ABBA, köttbullar and stunning nature. It's also home to a more nutritious office ritual we at JustBite truly believe in: Fika! The break moment the Swedes go all in on.
And if there's one thing we want to achieve, it's for people to consciously and mindfully enjoy their break with a tasty, more nutritious snack.
Stop! Fika time!
So what exactly is this Fika thing, and why do the Swedes swear by it so much?
In short, Fika means consciously stepping away from your activities and taking a short break from your desk, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and something tasty.
But it's so much more than that! It's a planned moment to truly pause, together with friends and/or colleagues. It gives you the chance to take a more nutritious break and really connect with others. It gives your body and mind a well-deserved pause, so you can get back to work refreshed and fully focused.
But it also gives you and your employees a moment of reflection and the chance to clear your head. And that makes room for fresh, brilliant, fantastic ideas!
By the way, we spoke earlier with Lesley Arens about the importance of this kind of informal break moment in our podcast, and the importance of Fika in it.
Nutritious Fika-ing
Our mission is to get everyone Fika-ing, but in the most nutritious way possible. We kanelbullar and offer you a more nutritious Fika twist, because office breaks don't need to be packed with sugary snacks and the sugar highs and lows that come with them.
We skip the our boxes for the office super easy to offer your employees a healthier snack. We do the selecting for you, and only the snacks that meet our strict selection criteria meet our strict selection criteria, get to treat our customers. This way you can be sure you're easily offering your employees a healthier alternative. So make sure your employees clearly feel valued, and that you care about their health and wellbeing.Â
We want to give you the tools to help your employees easily choose a healthier lifestyle and enjoy their break moment more mindfully. We do this not only with our boxes, but also with fun info cards about more nutritious food in every box. During these workshops, we give your employees practical information about more nutritious food and healthier breaks in a fun way, paired with a tasty, more nutritious bite of course!
Why is a healthier break so important?
By giving your body more nutritious snacks and consciously making time for a break, you give yourself the right energy to power through with full focus, no ups and downs. By taking a break on purpose and connecting informally with others, you also give your mind a chance to recharge for a bit.Â
