Healthy Snack Options
Better choices. Great taste. Gotham Refreshments can dedicate shelves — or an entire machine — to baked snacks, protein bars, nuts, jerky, bottled water and low- and zero-sugar drinks, at the same $0 cost as any other placement.
What Goes In A Healthy Machine
Everything below is stocked as standard — no special order, no premium for asking. Healthy snacks run $1.00 – $4.25 depending on the item.
How Much Is Up To You
“Healthy vending” means very different things to different buildings. A gym wants protein and electrolytes; a corporate office wants better defaults without banning the candy; a school or clinic may have a written standard to meet. We stock to whichever of these you actually want.
A better-for-you shelf
One or two shelves of baked snacks, bars and nuts inside an otherwise conventional machine. The least disruptive option, and usually the one that changes buying habits most.
A tilted planogram
Roughly half and half. Baked chips, popcorn, pretzels and bars sit at eye level; water, sparkling water and zero-sugar drinks lead the beverage machine, with conventional options still available.
A fully healthy machine
Every selection meets your standard, with nothing conventional in the cabinet. Common on campuses, in clinics and in fitness facilities. Tell us the guideline and we build the list against it.
Healthy Vending Is Mostly Drinks
Most of the sugar in a workplace comes out of the beverage machine, not the snack machine — which is why a “healthy vending” program that only swaps chips does not move the needle much.
- Bottled and sparkling water — Smartwater, Dasani, Aquafina, and flavored sparkling options
- Zero-sugar sodas alongside, or instead of, the full-sugar versions
- Low-sugar sports drinks — Gatorade Zero, electrolyte options and vitaminwater
- Juices and coconut water where the audience actually buys them
- Black cold brew for a zero-sugar caffeine option
All of it runs from a BevMax glass-front beverage machine, so the healthy options are visible on the shelf rather than hidden behind a number.
