Whether you’re equipping a vending machine at an ExxonMobil facility along the Corporate Boulevard corridor or stocking one in a Downtown Baton Rouge office tower, VendVue’s healthy vending machines with FitPick® branding stand out as the clear choice for health-conscious employers.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making nutritional choices immediately visible to state government workers, LSU faculty and staff, and shift workers grabbing quick meals between demanding schedules across Baton Rouge’s petrochemical and port operations sectors. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that resonate with the health priorities of today’s Baton Rouge workforce.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to meet diverse workplace needs—from government offices along the Government Street corridor to manufacturing facilities in Tiger Bend. 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, ensuring compliance with institutional wellness standards valued by Baton Rouge’s major employers.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices throughout Baton Rouge—whether in Mid City, the Perkins Road district, or College Town near LSU—to implement the same program seamlessly and maintain unified wellness messaging.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Baton Rouge consumers—including healthcare professionals, port workers, and students—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines that support their active, demanding lifestyles.

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 Baton Rouge by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique needs of our community’s diverse workforce. Whether your team works in the petrochemical refining sector along the Corporate Boulevard corridor, manages operations at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, or supports state government functions downtown, we recognize that shift workers, office professionals, and industrial teams need accessible nutrition that sustains energy and focus. 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 among Baton Rouge’s health-conscious employers and employees. This shift towards wellness—particularly evident across LSU’s campus and professional services firms in the Perkins Road district—has inspired us to offer tailored solutions. 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 active, high-performance standards of Baton Rouge’s business community.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re a state government employee managing back-to-back meetings in the Capitol complex or an industrial shift worker at one of our petrochemical facilities, refuel your body with snacks several times a day to maintain energy and focus.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Baton Rouge professionals and LSU students alike benefit from cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber—they deliver longer-lasting fullness during extended work shifts or study sessions.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings common among our port operations workforce and service industry staff with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Downtown Baton Rouge’s bustling commercial corridors and the Perkins Road district see constant foot traffic—choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Healthcare and higher education workers throughout Mid City and Government Street need reliable protein sources; low-fat milk or yogurt provide a healthy boost.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, especially during festival season and LSU game day celebrations around College Town.
  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 for quick breaks across Baton Rouge’s manufacturing and retail sectors.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber—a staple choice for shift workers in the Bocage industrial area and beyond.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand throughout your workday in our warm Louisiana climate.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking for Baton Rouge’s diverse workforce—from Corporate Boulevard professionals to downtown casino workers.
