In people's minds, vending machines are often filled with common snacks such as potato chips and candies. However, in fact, many vending machines now hide many treasures of healthy snacks. Today, let's take a good inventory and I believe it will give you a new understanding of vending machine snacks.
1、 Nut class
1. Original Nut Mix Pack
When it comes to healthy snacks, nuts are definitely the top priority. Nowadays, many vending machines have mixed packages of original nuts, which usually contain various nuts such as cashews, almonds, almonds, walnuts, etc. They are rich in high-quality plant protein, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, as well as various vitamins and minerals, which have many benefits for the human body. Unsaturated fatty acids can help maintain cardiovascular health, while dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and aid digestion. Moreover, the original flavor of nuts has not undergone excessive seasoning processing, which maximizes the retention of the nutritional components of the nuts themselves. It tastes delicious and crispy, satisfying cravings and providing nutrition for the body. It is a very good healthy snack.
2. Daily nut small packaging
This type of small packaged nut, which is well matched according to the daily recommended intake, is also very common. Usually, several different nuts and dried fruits are combined in scientific proportions, such as a certain amount of cashews and almonds paired with raisins, cranberry dried fruits, etc. This combination not only provides a more balanced nutrition, but also enriches the taste. The sour and sweet dried fruits neutralize the greasy feeling of the nuts, giving off both the rich and crispy flavor of the nuts and the soft, sticky, sweet, and sour taste of the dried fruits. It is easy to become addicted to eating. At the same time, the design of the small packaging is convenient to carry and can help us control our intake, avoiding excessive calorie intake caused by eating too many nuts at once. It is especially suitable for taking them out during breaks or work breaks to eat.
2、 Coarse grains
1. Whole wheat biscuits
Whole wheat biscuits are a frequent visitor to healthy snacks. They are mainly made from whole wheat flour, which retains more nutrients such as bran and germ compared to ordinary wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is rich in dietary fiber, B vitamins, and more. The taste may not be as delicate and may be slightly rough, but it is precisely this unique texture that becomes more fragrant when chewed, and has a strong sense of satiety. Eating a few pieces when hungry can not only cushion the stomach, but also avoid consuming too many calories like eating high-fat and high sugar cookies. For those who want to control their weight or pursue a healthy diet, it is an unmissable choice in vending machines.
2. Roasted sweet potato jerky
I believe everyone is familiar with the deliciousness and nutrition of sweet potatoes. Roasted sweet potato jerky is a healthy snack made by roasting and dehydrating sweet potatoes. It retains most of the nutrients in sweet potatoes, such as carotenoids, vitamin A, dietary fiber, etc. It tastes soft, sweet, chewy, and has a taste no worse than fresh roasted sweet potatoes. Moreover, due to dehydration treatment, the shelf life is relatively longer, making it easier to store and carry. It's a great choice to see it in the vending machine and buy a bag, whether it's for afternoon tea and Dim sum, or to replenish energy when going out for play.
3、 Protein sticks
1. Whey protein stick
For fitness enthusiasts or friends who want to supplement protein, whey protein bars are an excellent discovery. It mainly uses whey protein as the main raw material, and also adds some dietary fiber, crushed nuts and other ingredients to enhance taste and nutrition. The protein content is very high, which can help us quickly replenish protein, especially after exercise. The body urgently needs nutrients to repair and grow muscles, and at this time, eating a whey protein stick is the most suitable. And it has multiple flavors to choose from, such as chocolate, strawberry, etc. It tastes like eating a delicious dessert, but it won't put too much burden on the body. Prepare a few in the vending machine and you can "recharge" yourself at any time.
2. Plant protein stick
With vegetarianism and increasing attention to plant protein, plant protein bars have also begun to appear in vending machines. It is usually made from plant protein sources such as soy protein and pea protein, combined with various natural dried fruits, grains, etc. It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. It is suitable for a wider range of people with different dietary needs, such as vegetarians or friends who are lactose intolerant. It can satisfy everyone's love for snacks and ensure sufficient intake of high-quality protein, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
4、 Yogurt type
1. Low temperature sugar free yogurt
Nowadays, many vending machines are equipped with refrigeration function, which has led to the emergence of low-temperature sugar free yogurt. Although sugar free yogurt may not have the same sweet and greasy taste as yogurt with a large amount of added sugar, it retains the original flavor and rich active probiotics of yogurt. These probiotics are very beneficial to intestinal health, as they can regulate gut microbiota and enhance digestive and absorption functions. You can pair it with some fresh fruits you buy yourself, such as strawberries, blueberries, etc., to make a delicious and healthy fruit yogurt. It has double the nutrition and a great taste, making it a favorite for those who pursue a healthy and low calorie diet.
2. Room temperature yogurt cup
For those who do not have refrigeration conditions or want more convenient portability, a room temperature yogurt cup is a good choice. It has undergone special processing technology to maintain relatively stable quality and taste even at room temperature, and usually contains some nutrients such as calcium and vitamins, further enhancing its nutritional value. Take a cup from the vending machine during breaks, trips, etc. and enjoy the delicious and nutritious yogurt anytime, anywhere.
