Vending machines play an important role in the office environment. Serving up welcomed refreshments to keep energy levels high among employees is crucial to the work day.
Too often however, vending machines are stocked to the brim with unhealthy and too sugary snacks. It is a well-known fact that when sugar is consumed it provides our bodies with ample energy, but once that sugar rush wears off (and it happens quickly) we crash and start the craving process all over again.
There are plenty of healthy snacks that provide the same satisfaction as sugar and high carbohydrates without the negative effects. Since your employees need fuel to concentrate and be productive throughout the day, here is a list of what should be in snack and fresh food vending machines. At first, your employees might grumble, but overtime they will begin to see how much better they perform when great food is readily available.
Snack vending machine:
Low sugar granola bars
Salt free or sea salt nuts
Whole grain crackers
Pita chips
Rice cakes
Dark chocolate
Fresh food vending machine:
Salads
Fruit
Vegetables
Low-fat dressing and vegetable dips
Chicken salad
Tuna sandwiches
Aside from food vending, beverage vending should be kept to low-sugar drinks and water.
