General

Our most recent product is one we’ve had many requests for – the delicious and healthy Lo Bros Kombucha range. You’d have to be living under a rock not to have heard about kombucha (pronounced ‘kom-boo-chah’). It’s the darling of the health food conscious, the new ‘miracle cure’ for many gut problems and if it’s made well like the Lo Bros range, it tastes amazing. Do you really know what it’s all about though?

What is Kombucha exactly?

Kombucha is actually a tea-based sparkling probiotic drink. It’s so wonderfully bubbly due to the fermentation process, which gives it that sweet-yet-sour fizz that makes it unique. In the case of Lo Bros kombucha, it’s a living drink that’s full of beneficial probiotic cultures, similar to the way yoghurt is living.

The bacteria and yeast used to spring the culture in kombucha to life is called a SCOBY (or ‘the mother’ for those familiar with brewing). It doesn’t look very appealing, but SCOBY – which looks like a rubbery disc of goo – stands for a Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast and without it, kombucha wouldn’t have the detoxifying, immune-strengthening qualities it does.

How do probiotics help?

In each carefully created bottle of Lo Bros kombucha, there are millions (around 100 million actually!) of powerful little probiotic microorganisms. When you ingest them, these probiotics actually move into your digestive tract and live there, multiplying and helping balance the good bacteria that makes up your microbiome. As mentioned, this boosts your immune system, helps clean and speed up your digestive tract, replaces lost bacteria after antibiotics, improves oral health and improves your general health overall. There are many more purported health benefits of drinking kombucha or ingesting probiotics in other ways, but we’ll stick to those that have been scientifically proven. As a bonus, kombucha also contains prebiotics, which is the stuff probiotics feed on. This means your good bacteria gets an instant boost of power as soon as you drink them!

Why is Lo Bros a good choice?

Lo Bros kombuchas are made using an ancient recipe, they only use organic ingredients – such as the highest quality oolong and green tea and filtered spring water – and are fermented slowly and steadily in small batches. The SCOBY is added to these ingredients with a small amount of organic sugar, which feeds the bacteria during the 21-30 day fermentation process.

To complement their amazingly pure base ingredients, Lo Bros also source the finest organic spices, fruits and roots (such as ginger… yum!) to ensure their product remains one of the best. That’s it – they then bottle it up, chill it and send it to the stores! With flavours like blueberry, raspberry & lemon, peach & ginger, passionfruit, cola and many more, you’ll have no problem finding a taste that suits you. While some kombucha can taste much too sour, vinegar-like or can be loaded with sugar to try and counteract these flavours, Lo Bros are so careful to balance their low-sugar kombucha ingredients so they not only stay healthy, but taste amazing too. That’s the best part – they taste so good and with every sip, you’ll feel the health benefits!

Vending machines that just offer one brand of cola or a narrow selection of chips or candy bars may have satisfied companies and workers in the last century, but you can do better now.

You and your workers should demand a broad range of products, fresh and healthy options, the latest in technology, and a smaller energy footprint. Luckily, a family-owned company can help workplaces across Australia discover how great a vending machine can truly be.

Select a Machine That Offers a Wide Range of Products

First, your employees want and deserve a wide range of selections for drinks, snacks, or even meals. Candy, chips and cola just don’t cut it anymore.

Can you remember an old-school vending machine carrying meals that were both delicious and fresh? Your workplace vending machine should offer fresh and never frozen options from great companies like Youfoodz. Youfoodz brings to the table offerings such as Portuguese BBQ chicken, Mac n Double Cheese with Steak Diane, and much more. It’s like having a chic cafe right in your employee break room.

While everyone loves chocolate bars oozing with caramel, the sugar-packed snacks don’t provide lasting energy. Protein and paleo bars, however, do pack a punch that lasts for hours. Your machine should offer great energy bar brands like Clif and Blue Dinosaur Paleo.

Finally, why guzzle a sugary cola when you can drink deliciousness without sugar, preservatives, or other unhealthy stuff? Your machine could carry drink brands such as Emma and Tom’s. They are all-natural and come from Australia, not a company halfway around the world.

Your Machine Should Offer the Latest Technology

Your grandpa’s vending machine only took change. Of course, your grandpa’s vending machine only offered a few measly foods and drink options, too. Today’s consumer wants more choice, whether it is about healthy food and drink or how to pay for it.

A workplace vending machine should employ the latest technology, including payment options that accept paper money as well as credit and debit cards. It should also come with energy-efficient LED lighting, high-capacity shelves, and other options that elevate it above the pack. These include a higher rate of energy efficiency, reducing your costs and the machine’s impact on the environment.

Free Is the Way to Be

If your workplace vending machine does not come with free installation, free stocking, and free service across Australia. Wherever your workplace lies, free is the way to be!

You deserve a machine with no hassles that comes with excellent guaranteed 24/7 support.

Get Your Machine From a Family-Owned Company

You want a quality machine with great products and a comprehensive guarantee of service from a company that you can trust. Workplaces also need a company that understands the needs of businesses right down to the food eaten by employees on break and lunch. In this case, your company vending machine should come from a family-owned, Australia-based company. You can trust that such a company will strive to meet and exceed expectations.

Did you know that vending machines are a favourite investment for entrepreneurs? They’re an excellent way for a person, business or organisation to earn a commission. Additionally, vending machines require very little upkeep, and this is excellent for people with a busy schedule. We’ll explain why Brisbane vending machines and vending machine investment with Robinson’s Vending all over Australia is a good thing.

When you contact Robinson’s Vending and arrange for a vending machine at your business, you’ll nominate a bank account for your commission payment. Each quarter, Robinson’s Vending will pay you a commission based on the number of sales your Brisbane vending machine or machines bring in.

You want to encourage healthy lifestyle habits with your child, and this includes their food and beverage choices, including those that you can get with Brisbane vending machines from Robinson’s Vending. The goal of Robinson’s Vending directly aligns with the Promoting Health in Schools initiative, and we’ve outlined the top seven advantages of vending machines in schools.

1. Fuels Your Students’ Focus– Healthy food is fuel that helps your students focus throughout the day. It’s especially important in the mid-afternoon when it’s typical to experience a slump. Snacking between meals can help to improve your child’s focus, and this can help them engage in their classes more.
2. Improves Employee Morale –Along with helping your students, having a healthy vending machine in schools can also benefit your employees. They’ll be able to grab a quick healthy snack between classes or when they’re marking papers. It’s an easy way to show your employees that you care.
3. Teaches Healthy Eating and Snacking Habits – Keeping your on-campus Brisbane vending machines stocked with healthy snacks can teach your kids healthy snacking habits. They’ll be able to choose from Clif & Blue Dinosaur Paleo Bars, Emma & Tom’s products, Crispy Fruit dried fruit snacks and much more. This will make them excited to try these tasty and nutritious snacks, and they won’t get a sugar rush.
4. Fills in Nutritional Gaps –Even though you want your children to eat right, they may not get all of the nutrition they need every day, and they can develop gaps or deficiencies. Robinson’s Vending has a line of healthy and nutritious snacks that help to fill in these gaps, and they’re packed with protein, vitamins, and nutrients.
5. Keep up with Government Recommendations– In Australia, the government is fighting childhood obesity by recommending changes in schools where snacking and meals are concerned. The Healthy Eating Advisory outlines how important it is for schools to give children healthy options to snack on, and vending machines from Robinson’s Vending allow you to do this.
6. Easy Access to Nutritious Choices-For some students, having access to healthy food or snack options can be a luxury they don’t necessarily get anywhere but school. Healthy vending choices open up a whole new realm of possibilities for these students. It also helps to ensure that they don’t have any significant nutritional gaps to worry about as they grow.
7. Additional Revenue Source – Budget cuts happen, and some programs may suffer because of it. However, having a Brisbane vending machine in the school can add an additional source of revenue. The schools can take this money and put it back toward the students’ educations by investing in new books, course materials or in the courses themselves.

Coca-Cola has been one of the most popular soft drinks around the world for decades. Here are some really interesting Cocoa-Cola facts that can make you go fizzy.

Fizzy Fact One: If you were on a mission to try every Coca-Cola product available and you only drank one per day, it would take you over nine years to try them all. Coca-Cola has over 500 brands with 3,500 beverages. This long list include soy-based drinks, sodas, and energy drinks.

Fizzy Fact Two: Coca-Cola was originally a morphine substitute when a Civil War veteran named Dr. John S. Pemberton first invented it. He invented it after he became addicted to morphine and he wanted a substitute.

Fizzy Fact Three: When Coca-Cola first came out, you could buy it for $0.05 per glass at Jacobs Pharmacy.

Fizzy Fact Four: By 1997, Coca-Cola sold over one billion servings of its product every single day around the world. Today, Coca-Cola sells 1.7 billion servings per day.

Fizzy Fact Five: The Coca-Cola company has a yearly revenue of just over 35.1 billion dollars. This amount puts it at the 84th largest revenue earner in the world. It even generates more yearly revenue than Costa Rica.

Fizzy Fact Six: If you took every single drop of Coca-Cola that the company ever produced and put it in eight-ounce bottles, you would have enough bottles to lay end to end and go to the moon and back 2,000 times.

Fizzy Fact Seven: Coca-Cola’s red and white logo is so iconic that over 94% of the world’s population will instantly recognise it on sight.

Fizzy Fact Eight: The Coca-Cola brand uses over 300,000 tonnes of aluminium each year to manufacture its cans for US operations alone. This works out to 17.4% of what the entire United States’s aluminium industry makes each year.

Fizzy Fact Nine: In 2010, Coca-Cola spent more advertising money than both Apple and Microsoft combined.

Fizzy Fact Ten: In parts of the UK and in the Southern US, the term “Coke” refers to all types of soft drinks, including Pepsi.
