Goodbye unhealthy vending machines, hello Snack Nation!

When you hire Nest Health Connections, the first step we take in understanding a company’s wellness needs is to conduct a wellness survey.  We ask lots of different questions about movement, exercise, stress level, sleep, nutrition and much more.  We also have a few open-ended questions to give employees the opportunity to write in their own thoughts as it relates to office wellness.  After doing literally thousands of these employee wellness surveys the top write-ins look like this: “Please get rid of the awful/unhealthy vending machine, candy bowls around the office, donut day and pizza offered for lunch time meetings”!

The donut, pizza and the candy bowls are easy fixes – they have got to go.  If an employer really wants to create a healthy environment it is easy to ask your team to get rid of those candy bowls – yes, even for Halloween!  We recommend lots of other non-pizza lunches options that are healthy and tasty!  Mad Greens is one of our favorites for employee lunches and Whole Foods has a great variety as well!  And just forget the donuts and please don’t bring them to your kids soccer game’s either!

So the last item on that list, unhealthy vending machines, was a little more complicated to figure out.  We have google searched, called and emailed dozens of so called “healthy vending machines”.  Even if we did get a returned call the prices of the healthy vending machines were cost prohibitive for companies under 1000.

Then we hit the jackpot and found SnackNation, the simple way to get exciting, new, delicious snacks delivered (for FREE) directly to your office (or home)!  With SnackNation, your company receives a specially-curated selection of the tastiest healthy snacks from the hottest natural food companies in the world.

OK, here’s what I love about SnackNation and why we have decided to offer them as Nest’s exclusive snack partner:

  • The snacks are HEALTHY, tasty and change every single month!

  • There are no contracts – just try it! They are so confident their clients will love it, they don’t have to ask for one!

  • You save 40% off retail pricing! Plus you don’t need an expensive up front vending machine – they come in a corrugate box

  • And this is the best reason of all – for every box you buy, SnackNation donates 10 meals to feed America. Seriously, that is awesome!

But don’t just take our word for it – try a FREE sample box with 15 snacks included (value $39.99).  Our clients receive the best pricing, so send us a request at info@nesthealthconnections.com and we’ll set up your FREE sample box and get your team on the road to healthy snacking.  FYI – ALSO great for your family.  We’ve had employees order for their homes after their great experiences at the office!
