Before and After Vending Machine Options – Machine Cuisine

I am working with a Martial Arts Studio who currently has the vending machine below! Ouch! We need a major BEFORE and AFTER revamp of this machine cuisine. Even though whole food is best, vending machines can be a “baby step” to  healthy options.

STEP 1 – Remove all sodas and potato chips

STEP 2 – Add mini water bottles at top

STEP 3 – add some FRESH FRUIT OPTIONS

STEP 4 – Choose from these healthier alternatives
