TITUSVILLE

SANA VIVO

ALTERNATIVE HEALTHY VENDING OPTIONS

[ By Matt Weinstein, Contributor ]

Based out of Titusville, Lorelei and Allan Sprayberry were upset with the diet and eating habits of local children and adults. “I saw how poorly our children eat and what it was doing to their health,” said Lorelei. “We established this company to help pass on better eating habits to not only children, but to adults as well.”

Sprayberrys get mobile report updates when items get vended or issues come up. This makes restocking and maintenance much easier to handle and much more efficient. The machines take cash, credit card, atm card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and just about every major provider.

As a former school teacher under the disciplines of health and physical education, Lorelei taught at Titusville High School for 18 years before retiring this past September to tackle the problem head on. Her husband, Allan, became her partner in the creation and operation of a new company. Allan, a school teacher as well, is currently involved part-time, but plans to join his wife full time upon his retirement from the education system. Their new company, Sana Vivo, provides healthy vending snacks and beverages to businesses, government offices, schools and large companies as a healthy alternative to the traditional snack machine. “People are generally becoming more health conscious,” says Lorelei. As they actively look for healthier snack and drink options in the workplace, Sana Vivo is able to provide employees and customers with the healthy and delicious snacks, drinks and meals that they crave.

“We have something for everybody, and we are really proud of what we do!” Both snack and beverage based, the offerings in a Sana Vivo vending machine include Veggie Straws, Skinny Pop, Chex Mix, a healthier version of beef jerky, Goldfish, protein cookies, fruit snacks, Kind Bars, Cliff Bars, Luna Bars and much more. Their beverages include water, protein drinks, Propel Fitness Water, Bai, and low calorie G2. The available offerings also include items that are GMO free, kosher, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and low-fat. Vending options can also be customized by partners that reserve machines with the company. This healthy alternative for schools and businesses also works to help lower rising healthcare costs and promote a healthier, more productive environment. With snacks and beverages located in one frame, the machines are set up as a dual machine. This makes them very compact and economical to operate. With a footprint similar to that of a small refrigerator, the compact size can still hold over 300 items. These hightech machines also make service much easier. The 30 : SPAC E COAST B U S I N E SS
