5 Healthy Habits for Seattle, Tacoma, & Bellevue Employee Wellbeing

by

Employee wellbeing should be one of your top priorities. Because for your team to perform at their best, they must feel their best. With the New Year, it is the perfect time to focus on wellbeing, especially as it relates to workplace wellness.

Luckily, Vista Vending’s Seattle break room solutions and the following tips can help. Here are five ways to boost employee health with the start of a new year.

1. Make SMART Resolutions

Most New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by mid-January. Set your staff up for success with the idea of SMART resolutions. These are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For instance, an excellent SMART goal could be, “I want to add one serving of veggies to each of my meals for the month of February.”

Our Tacoma micro market solutions are a great place to start. Employees have access to fresh foods, like veggies, and hydrating drinks 24/7.

2. Get More Shut-Eye

A good night’s rest is important. Sleeping for eight hours can help you feel refreshed in the morning. Well-rested, your employees will perform and focus better. Plus, sleep helps control weight and lifts mood.

Help staff get the sleep they need by offering caffeine-free drinks in your break room. Office coffee service options like decaf coffee and herbal teas are great alternatives to caffeine drinks that could disrupt sleep later on. Ensure there are plenty of caffeine-free cold drinks in the always-open beverage vending machine, too.

3. Employee Wellbeing Starts with a Healthy Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Protein-packed foods help you feel full so you avoid snacking between meals. A nutritious breakfast is a great idea for employees. Thus, they will feel energized all day long.

Get healthy breakfast items stocked in your Bellevue micro market. For instance, yogurt, meat burritos, and eggs are all great choices.

4. Enjoy Some Fresh Air

Getting outside into nature improves your mood and makes you more alert. The natural sunlight also supports your natural circadian rhythm. Encourage employees to take walks outside during their lunch breaks. Free grab-and-go snacks from your Seattle office pantry let them skip the drive to the store. Therefore, employees have more time to refuel while they enjoy some fresh air.

5. Eat a Healthy Lunch

Staying healthy means eating right at work. However, busy employees might skip lunch altogether. Entice them to eat right by providing healthy snacks and meals in your break room. Vista Vending can create a menu for your team’s diverse dietary needs. This allows everyone in the office to eat right.

Consider subsidizing your micro market to promote better-for-your choices. This makes it easy to offer discounts on delicious, nutritious products, enticing your staff.

Deliciously Nutritious: Great Tasting Healthy Snack Alternatives for Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue Break Rooms

by

Finding a healthy snack in the workplace is getting easier every day. Why? It’s thanks to a rise in the number of good-for-you snacks available in sizes that fit in a vending machine. That makes it easier to stock new and nutritious items in Seattle break rooms for employees to enjoy. After all, healthy snacks satisfy hunger while still staying in line with wellness goals. And that’s great news! Healthy staff are happier and perform better at their jobs, delivering better results.

What types of delicious snacks can you find in the at-work healthy category? Here are some options we can bring to your improved Tacoma vending machine.

Vegetable Chips

Made from kale, beets, sweet potatoes, or even seaweed, crunchy lunchtime snacks are getting a makeover. Check out a sweet potato fried to chip perfection in avocado oil by Jackson’s Food Company. Or bite into a special “dirty” kettle-style sweet potato chip from Utz. Both are a unique, superfood take on the classic potato chip.

Pea Puffs

Along with a wrap or sandwich from the Bellevue fresh food market, how about a puffed snack? Try the latest healthy one made from legumes such as Hippeas. These puffs are packed with plant protein and fiber to fuel you up for important work.

Or dip into Peatos, which offers remixes of your favorite snack foods, but made vegan. There’s plenty of flavor, protein, and fiber to keep you feeling full and enjoying your snack break.

Fruit: The Original Healthy Snack

Sometimes called nature’s candy, no list of healthy options would be complete without fruit. It’s ideal for when staff want something sweet, but natural. From pre-packed fruit in juice to freeze-dried fruit bites, there’s a fruit snack right for everyone on your staff.

The sweet bright taste of tropical fruit sings in Del Monte® Fruit Cup® Snacks. They are packed in convenient snackable portions complete with their own nutrition labels for viewing.

Dried fruit like those from bare® act almost like chips. Apple and banana slices give a satisfying crunch. Toasted coconut flakes taste like a candy bar. Satisfy your sweet tooth and get a dose of vitamins, too.

Another novel and interesting fruit snack is freeze-dried varieties. Brothers All Natural® has a gentle dehydration process meant to keep nutrients, flavor, and texture intact. Try the strawberries, mangos, bananas, apples, etc. It’s a bounty of fun perfect for beating the afternoon slump.

Don’t Forget Healthy Hydration

When snacking, it’s a must to drink fluids. That means opting for tasty, yet healthy drinks to go along with your healthy snack. In a well-stocked micro market or Seattle cold beverage machine, look for sparkling water. It comes in many flavors, most with no added sugar or artificial additives.

Or perhaps it’s time to improve the office drinking water. Tacoma water filtration service will take your current water, run it through filters, and deliver a better tasting water on the other side. It’s excellent as is, frozen for better-tasting ice, or even used to brew tea and office coffee. The lack of chemical taste and particulates lets your brew of choice shine through. That’s a hydration win if we ever heard of one.

Healthy Snack Choices Support Work and Wellness

Finding at-work snacks that support healthier living is getting easier. Trendy, healthy snack choices are coming to vending and micro markets. Fuel up on veggie chips, legume puffs, and snackable fruit. Don’t forget the importance of drinking healthy beverages, too.
