Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re outfitting vending machines across the Texas Tech University campus, in healthcare facilities like University Medical Center, or throughout Lubbock’s bustling retail and hospitality districts, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a particularly valuable feature for the campus-adjacent areas in Tech Terrace and around the Depot District where young adult students and staff represent a significant portion of daily foot traffic. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices and facilities throughout Lubbock—from the South Plains Mall area to the 82nd Street corridor’s medical and professional offices—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering the diverse Lubbock workforce—including agricultural professionals, healthcare workers, and the region’s substantial student population—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Lubbock by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique demographics of our community. Across Texas Tech University’s sprawling campus and the surrounding Tech Terrace business district, we recognize that student populations and young professionals often rely on convenient snacking throughout their day—making nutritional content a critical consideration for employers in higher education and healthcare sectors. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, there’s a rising demand for healthier options that serves Lubbock’s wellness-conscious workforce and the significant student population that drives foot traffic in campus-adjacent areas. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that reflect the priorities of our region’s educational institutions, medical professionals at the University Medical Center, and manufacturing facilities throughout North Lubbock and the 82nd Street corridor. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that resonate with Lubbock’s growing emphasis on functional nutrition and employee wellbeing.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re a Texas Tech student between classes in Tech Terrace, a healthcare worker at University Medical Center managing long shifts, or an agricultural professional in the South Plains, refueling your body with snacks several times a day keeps you energized and focused.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: The fast-paced environments around Lubbock’s major employment centers demand sustained energy—opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness that carries you through morning lectures, patient care duties, or equipment inspections.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings during your Citibus commute or break room downtime with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips that won’t weigh you down.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads available through workplace and campus vending machines for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste—especially valuable for Lubbock’s mobile workforce and students navigating the 40,000-strong Texas Tech population.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost while working across the 82nd Street corridor, Slide Road industrial zones, or downtown Lubbock offices, grab low-fat milk or yogurt to support your body’s demands.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out—a practical approach for Lubbock’s diverse workforce managing busy schedules in healthcare, education, and manufacturing sectors.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that pair well with low-fat milk for added protein, making them ideal vending machine selections for North Lubbock businesses and campus locations.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber—a choice that resonates with Lubbock’s agricultural heritage and cost-conscious consumers throughout the region.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand, especially when navigating Lubbock’s warm climate and demanding work environments.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking that supports your performance whether you’re on the South Plains or in the heart of Lubbock’s business districts.
