As obesity rates in both adults and children reach increasingly alarming levels, the need for readily available, healthy food options is becoming more and more important. Fresh Healthy Vending is a welcomed change to the vending machine market and they are providing delicious and nutritious alternatives to the standard vending machine food which are usually high in fat and low in nutritional value.

Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day. Here are a few of the best Fresh Healthy Vending Recipes to help get your day started:

Fresh Healthy Fruit Chunk Double Dippers – all that is needed for this early morning treat is a few pieces of fruit cut into chunks, some low-fat yogurt and low-fat granola. Roll the fruit chunks in the yogurt first, being sure to coat all sides equally, and then roll in the low-fat granola. This might not be the best idea if you plan to travel while eating, but it is a great idea for eating at home or in the office. Simply using toothpicks to serve the fruit will keep your fingers clean and eliminate the need for extra dishes.

Fresh Healthy Perfectly Pleasant Parfaits – this tasty treat keeps in line with the combination of fruit, yogurt and granola. Construct your parfait in a sealed container to have a delicious and nutritious breakfast that can go wherever you go. Simply layer yogurt, fresh fruit chunks and low-fat granola, making sure to repeat the layering process until you have enough parfait for a filling breakfast, and you’re done. This meal is high in calcium, Vitamin C, protein and fiber.

If you are in the mood for a hot breakfast, the Fresh Healthy English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas with Egg can be just what you’re looking for. Toast two whole grain English Muffins, lightly brush with olive oil and then top with a slice of tomato, some hard-boiled egg slices and then top with low-fat mozzarella. Place in the oven to broil for three and a half minutes to melt the cheese and you’re done. Lightly salt to taste and enjoy.

When looking for fresh vending recipes, you will want to look for something that peaks your specific interest. If you select foods that you find appetizing, you will find it much easier to maintain healthier eating habits than traditional vending machines offer. Feel free to get creative with your ideas; select a main item for your meal and incorporate some different supplemental items that you have not tried in the past to create new and exciting recipes of your own. Once you’ve found a winner, be sure to pass it along to friends and loved ones. The example you set just may become contagious.
