What Are Some Healthier Snacks To Include In A Vending Machine?
April 27th, 2009 Posted in Información General
My office’s break room’s vending machine is filled with CRAP! There’s nothing but junky foods, like candy, cookies, fruit pies, potato chips, and the like. The healthiest things are Baked! Lay’s Potato Chips, pretzels, Wheatables crackers, and roasted peanuts. What are some other options that I could suggest to our office’s management about cutting some of the crap?

One of the problems with any sort of vending machine food is the very fact that they’re made to be shelf-stable…they can be stored at room temperature for a matter of weeks or even months, so they’re “perfect” for a vending machine. The vendor (whoever owns the actual machine) loses money if he has to take back outdated food.
Many good solutions have already been mentioned (dried fruit snacks, jerky, etc). But another idea might be to replace the existing vending machine with a refrigerated model…check with the Vending Company, I bet they can arrange it. This way, they could easily include things like fresh fruits, vegetables (like prepackaged celery & carrot sticks), yogurt, or whatever. And they could still have a couple of “junk food” choices available for the people who really want it.
