How does it work?
What is Fit Pick™?
The Fit Pick™ program includes stickers that are placed in front of qualifying products, thin clings that explain the nutrition standard, coin slot stickers and round stickers.
The Fit Pick™ program is flexible and can help in a variety of settings, and includes two different nutrition standards that can be implemented depending on your needs.
Fit Pick™ 35-10-35 Standard: Identifies products with no more than 35% of their calories from fat, no more than 10% from saturated fat, an no more than 35% of the total weight from sugar (nuts and seeds excluded).
Alliance for Healthier Generation Standard: Popular with schools, this standard begins with the 35-10-35 guidelines and then adds caps on sodium and calories.
Florida Fresh Vending is committed to working with our clients to advance health and wellness awareness. Through the Fit Pick™ initiative, we help you create your own program that advances the health of your employees ensuring a brighter future for everyone.
Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips
- Top off your fuel tank several times a day with snacks; you’ll feel energized and satisfied throughout the day.
- Focus on fiber and protein. Choose cereal bars or granola bars with a little protein (check the Nutrition Facts) and some fiber to help keep you full longer.
- Pretzels or baked chips are a great low-fat, low-calorie way to satisfy the mid-day munchies.
- Choose fruits, vegetables and salads, pre-packaged and ready-to-eat. They are high on nutrition, crunchy, convenient, and great tasting.
- For a snack that is high in protein and calcium reach for a carton of low-fat milk or yogurt.
- It’s unrealistic to give up sweet treats if you really enjoy them. Like anything else, eat them “smartly” and in moderation.
- Craving cookies? Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts or graham crackers are great tasting lower fat choices. Pair these with low-fat milk, a protein-rich food, and you’ve satisfied that craving.
- Go nuts. Choose a package of peanuts, almonds, or other favorite nuts. They come packed with protein and fiber.
- Don’t confuse thirst with hunger. Keep a water bottle handy.
- Variety, balance and moderation are important when eating snacks.
