The top 3 healthiest vending machine snacks.
Let’s be honest, while the overwhelming majority of the items on offer with the push of a button are full of nutritional sins and empty calories, not every choice from the vending machine will torpedo your diet. If you can resist the chips and candy, you’ll find some healthier snacking options that can make a snack attack less deadly to your six-pack pursuit. Check out the top three healthiest vending snacks below.
1. Nuts
Nuts are one of the healthiest things to snack on. We would opt for peanuts or almonds. Full of healthy fats, vitamin E, fibre and high in protein, nuts can help quell hunger until you’re able to nosh on your next meal. If possible, opt for unsalted nuts to help keep your sodium intake in check.

2. Popcorn
When hunger hits you like a hammer at the office or on the road, don’t slide in your coins and send a pack of crisps for a free fall. Instead, rip open a bag of low-calorie popcorn. Popcorn is considered a whole grain and delivers hunger-quelling fibre and a surprising dose of antioxidants.
