Farmer’s Fridge - Taste better than it looks

 So this is my first time seeing a vending machine that offers some healthy food choices. It’s mostly salads, sandwiches, and breakfast options. All mainly cold food so no soups or any entrees that require heating.

The machine is pretty neatly and easy to use. They do have an app if you want to check a certain fridge. You can even order through it ahead of time and you can pick it up right before midnight. Pickup is easy. The screen will show a pickup code and all you have to do is just enter that code into your app and it will check availability and give you your order. 

I do find it weird that the machine itself only has the option to swipe your card to pay. No tap to pay if any kind when everything now has that option. But thankfully I can just order on the app and be able to use my mobile pay. 

Their advertisements and product photos make the food look really nice but reality it doesn’t even look that nice. The jars make it seem smaller than it is. 

They have a 50% promo for your first order which is worth using. The most expensive item is the High Protein Chicken Schawarma salad bowl for $14.49. It’s a bit pricey but it was actually good. The date on it says the Beat By slash is a couple days away but there was already a few lettuce pieces that are wilting. The colors are a bit dull but again it tastes great. The chicken isn’t dry and there wasn’t a lot of it though I think the other protein is the chickpeas. I was not able to finish the whole thing in one sitting. For the price it’s ok. I think I rather spend it at a fast food chain as I’m not sure when these were made. 

I also tried the chia seed overnight oats. It doesn’t look great but the taste is good. Nice thick pudding texture with some granola. Rather expensive for $16.09 I paid for it. 

I do like that they have a rewards program. You get $9 credit for 50 points. Every $2 you get a point so you have to spend $100 to get that $9 credit. Which I think is probably easy to get with the prices they charge. 

I think this is a great option to have something healthy at the workplace. I do find the prices to be a bit high for regular people salary. But I do hope they expand their menu to more hot food options for the winter months.
