Especially vending machines offering nutritious snacks with brands that consumers know and trust.<br \/>\nIf your Tulsa and Oklahoma City break room happens to cater to Millennials, the snack machine is even more critical to their daily lifestyles.<br \/>\nThe latest Mintel research confirms that consumers prefer portable snacks when on-the-go and they will pay more for healthier snacks and indulgent treats. Based on the June 2016 Mintel report, \u201cSnacking in Foodservice,\u201d 67 percent of consumers aged 18 to 44 desire snacks that are portable for on-the-go consumption.<\/p>\n<p>With snacking now ubiquitous, more than three in five (64 percent) consumers agree that snacking is necessary to get through the day, including 77 percent of Millennials. What\u2019s more, an extra boost of energy is also a motivator for Millennials as two in five (38 percent) dine at snack shops for energy compared to one quarter (27 percent) of consumers overall.<br \/>\nRecognizable brands also play a role when choosing snacks, as seven in 10 (69 percent) of consumers say snacks with branded ingredients are higher quality than other snacks. Moreover, seven in 10 (71 percent) Millennials say snacks are best eaten while on the go.<br \/>\nKeep in mind that Millennials are the fastest growing segment of today\u2019s work force.<br \/>\n\u201cMillennials gave us food trucks, food raves \u2013 what they want is a sense of community and they get that around food\u2026 They wake up every morning with the idea \u2018you only live once\u2019 (YOLO), so they are driving food trends, and we need to be watching carefully what Millennials are eating, because that\u2019s what is creating the trends,\u201d said Phil Lempert, a food marketing and retail expert.<br \/>\nWhile it\u2019s important to address the needs of all consumers, the Millennials bear special attention since their numbers are growing.<br \/>\nAs for the generation that succeeds the Millennials, snacking will also be important. The youngest consumers are being exposed to more varieties of flavors by their parents, meaning foodservice providers need to be ready to provide more variety in the meals and snacks they offer.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is a movement among parents to expand the palates of their children by introducing them to more diverse flavors that don\u2019t typically fit into a kids\u2019 menu,\u201d says Diana Kelter, a foodservice analyst at Mintel.<br \/>\nCreative vending and refreshment service providers will certainly need to find ways to introduce more diverse snacks for consumers to eat on the run.<br \/>\nFor more information about <a href=\"https:\/\/blueskysupply.net\/healthy\">healthy snack<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blueskysupply.net\/beverages\/\">beverage options<\/a> for your Tulsa and Oklahoma City breakroom, contact your <a href=\"http:\/\/blueskysupply.net\/\">Tulsa and Oklahoma City vending<\/a> partner Blue Sky Supply at <a href=\"tel:9185999100\">(918) 599-9100<\/a> to discuss your customized break room solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The break room snack machine in Tulsa and Oklahoma City plays a more important role in consumers\u2019 lives today than at any time in history.
