Is it really true you can get healthy snack foods and beverages - from a vending machine?
You can now - thanks to Kristine Kuebli of Santa Fe. “YoZone” vending machines, filled with all-natural snacks and beverages, will soon appear in prime locations in and around Santa Fe.
YoZone healthy vending machines are in Santa Fe Prep School, Southwestern College, and Thornburg Management (an investment firm). Locations are pending at Moving People Dance Theater, Physicians of Santa Fe Medical Center, and Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper.
“I work for a local non-profit community health care center as the Director of Human Resources. In addition, I am a certified yoga, pilates, and group fitness instructor teaching at several centers in Santa Fe.” Kuebli says.
“Working for a community health center, we see a serious trend in the growing numbers of patients who are overweight, unhealthy, and many with diabetes.
“Our company needs to live by the messages that we send our patients...the need for healthy eating and exercise. As the HR Director, I was seeking healthy vending options for our employees. I soon realized that there were no options within the state of New Mexico, and very few choices at a national level...until I found YoNaturals.
“My husband and I made the decision to join the revolution and start a healthy vending business in Santa Fe. We concentrated on marketing the healthy vending machines to schools, colleges, health centers, fitness centers, and businesses with a strong employee wellness focus. We are placing our first 10 machines next week. It is our hope to make a difference in the health of employees and students in our community. “
“YoZone” Vending Machines are provided by YoNaturals, Inc, with national headquarters in Solana Beach, California. YoNaturals is a pioneer in the national effort to clean up vending machines in the public schools. The healthy snacks and beverages in “YoZone” vending machines are similar to what you would find in a health food store like Whole Foods or Wild Oats. .
YoNaturals offers more than 100 choices of healthy bars, chips, crackers, cookies, dried fruit, nuts, meals, spritzers, iced tea, coffee drinks, organic milk, water, energy drinks and juices. They are designed for health conscious people, dieters and busy workers who want their health food while “on the go.”
“Many people find it hard to escape junk food vending machines at the office, health club, school or shopping mall,” says Nick Yates of YoNaturals. “By giving people easy access to healthy food, now it's easier for busy people to maintain good nutrition.”
“Not only that, the soaring growth in the natural and organic grocery sector has created an unprecedented demand for healthier offerings, and we believe the vending market has yet to be tapped,” says Yates.
