\"Snack<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even if you haven\u2019t heard of the term \u201csnack meal,\u201d you\u2019ve likely experienced it with the 86 percent of Americans who already have. A snack meal is a healthy snack<\/a> eaten in place of a traditional meal, and more and more people are incorporating them into their diet. For example, according to a recent survey performed for Farm Rich, the average Alexandria, VA employee consumes five snack meals each week and is likely to eat their snack meals instead of lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon\nGilreath, Director of Marketing at Farm Rich, shared that \u201cPeople are no longer\nfeeling bound to the traditional three meals a day, which gives them more\nvariety and time back to do the things they enjoy most, and for many, that\ndoesn’t involve a ton of time in the kitchen, especially on busy days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the\ndifferent generations of Alexandria, VA employees, Millennials are the most\nlikely to believe that \u201cthree standard meals a day is a thing of the past.\u201d\nUnlike older generations who look at snacks as a way to curb cravings,\nMillennials use snacks as way to refuel without needing a lot of time to\ngrocery shop, prepare a meal, and then sit down to eat it. Snack meals need to\nbe easy and quick to prepare and portable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farm Rich\u2019s\nsurvey found that the top healthy choices are cheese, crackers, fruit, chips,\nnuts, veggies, yogurt, and pretzels. The right combination of these healthy\noptions will enable employees to create small meals that meet their own unique\nnutritional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Snack<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One way Alexandria, VA employers can help their employees meet their meal\/snacking needs is to offer healthy snack meals (with beverages<\/a>) in their break room vending machines. Access to healthy, onsite options will not only save time, but it also provides employees with the fuel they need to recharge, giving them the energy to have a productive day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d really\nlike to give your Alexandria, VA employees a boost, consider implementing one\nof the following vending solutions – their wallets will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsidized\nVending:<\/strong> The\nprices of the items in the vending machine are lowered. At the end of each\nmonth, your company receives a bill for the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Vending:<\/strong> All the products in your vending machines<\/a> are free. Your company receives an invoice at the end of each month and pays the entire cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
