Fitpick Machine

Whether you’re equipping a vending machine at a Fresno State University building, a food processing facility in West Fresno, or a retail location along the Blackstone Avenue corridor, VendVue’s healthy vending machines with FitPick® branding stand out as the clear choice for employers serving Fresno’s diverse workforce.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making it easy for agricultural workers, shift employees, and service industry staff throughout Fresno to identify nutritious options at a glance. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that matter to the San Joaquin Valley’s health-conscious employees and students.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored for working populations like those in Fresno’s logistics, healthcare, and food processing sectors. 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), which aligns with the dietary needs of hourly workers and seasonal employees throughout Downtown Fresno and the surrounding neighborhoods. 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 facilities in different Fresno locations—from River Park Shopping Center to government service offices to Community Regional Medical Center—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Fresno’s working families and underbanked populations to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines that respect their daily needs and budget constraints.

Extensive Variety of Healthy Snack Options.

FitPick® transforms healthy snacking across Fresno’s diverse workplace environments by clearly identifying “better for you” options from a carefully curated selection of nearly 700 FitPick® approved products. Whether placed in the bustling corridors of Fresno State University, healthcare facilities like Community Regional Medical Center and Saint Agnes Medical Center, or distribution centers throughout the Blackstone Avenue logistics hub, this program effortlessly guides customers—from agricultural professionals to service industry workers—in choosing nutritious items from vending machines, removing any guesswork and streamlining the selection and purchase process.

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 Fresno by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly within the city’s diverse economic landscape spanning agriculture, food processing, healthcare, and education sectors. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, Fresno’s workforce—from agricultural workers and logistics professionals at distribution centers to healthcare staff at Community Regional Medical Center and Saint Agnes Medical Center, as well as Fresno State University employees and students—increasingly demands healthier, more practical nutrition options that fuel long shifts and demanding schedules. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations, combined with Fresno’s significant population of workers who prioritize nutritious, accessible meals during their workday, has inspired us to offer tailored solutions strategically placed throughout high-traffic corridors like Blackstone Avenue and Shaw Avenue, as well as near major employment hubs and retail centers across Tower District and River Park. 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 reflect the real nutritional needs of Fresno’s hardworking, diverse communities.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: In a sprawling city like Fresno where agricultural workers, logistics employees, and service industry staff often work long shifts across multiple job sites, maintaining steady energy throughout the day is essential—refuel with nutritious snacks several times daily to stay focused and productive.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Healthcare workers at Community Regional Medical Center and Saint Agnes Medical Center, along with food processing industry employees, benefit from cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber that sustain energy during demanding shifts.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Whether you’re commuting through the Blackstone Avenue corridor or taking a break near Tower District, satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips available in convenient vending machines.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Fresno State University students and faculty, construction crews working throughout Fig Garden and Old Fig Garden neighborhoods, and retail workers at River Park Shopping Center all need quick access to pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads offering high nutritional value and convenience.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt—particularly important for Fresno’s diverse workforce who may skip formal breaks while managing multiple responsibilities.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, recognizing that reasonable indulgence keeps morale high during physically demanding work in agriculture and construction 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—ideal grab-and-go options for employees near Shaw Avenue distribution centers and West Fresno retail corridors.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber that sustains you through demanding workdays typical in Fresno’s food processing and agricultural sectors.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand—especially critical in Fresno’s hot climate where outdoor and warehouse workers face elevated hydration demands.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking, ensuring employees across Fresno’s diverse industries maintain wellness and productivity throughout their shifts.
