Gluten-Free, Vegan and More: Meeting Dietary Needs in the Workplace

A diverse staff often has specific dietary needs, be they religious restrictions, allergies or specific nutritional concerns like keto, vegan or vegetarian.

When an employee ventures into the break room and sees snacks and beverages that they can consume, even with their dietary restrictions, it boosts morale and improves productivity.

BostonbeaN Coffee Company is committed to providing workplace-friendly, inclusive dietary options that allow your staff to enjoy their favorite foods, teas, coffees and other beverages as they fit into their specific lifestyle.

Understanding Dietary Needs in the Workplace

Dietary restrictions are more common now due to a variety of factors, but some of the most important are allergies and food intolerance. People are more apt to understand food intolerances — such as wheat gluten, soy or caffeine — than they were even 20 years ago and are more discerning about what they consume. You may think that the snacks in your break room are inclusive or useful for everybody, but decoding snack labels is tricky.

As such, simply tossing some bags of chips and big box store-branded coffee in your break room is not enough to satisfy your staff. There is a rising demand for inclusive office snacks and beverages, and you can be a cutting-edge business while making your employees’ stomachs happy.

Non-Dairy and Vegan Beverage Options from BostonbeaN

Although lactose intolerance is a common problem, a variety of plant-based milks abound — oat, soy, cashew, almond and more — for people who cannot digest dairy.

Dairy-free creamers are more common and delicious than ever before, with a wide variety of flavors and masterfully crafted, silky-smooth textures that are wonderful additions to your tea or coffee, even if you can digest dairy.

There are even vegan-friendly coffee and tea selections that will help your plant-based employees enjoy their morning breaks.

Gluten-Free and Vegan Snack Options

Gluten-intolerance is on the rise, making gluten-free snacks essential for an inclusive break room. Vegan-friendly chips, nuts and trail mixes, along with dairy-free snacks and sweets are hugely popular — and so delicious that you probably couldn’t tell the difference.

BostonbeaN also carries ColdSnap, a delicious non-dairy ice cream for maximizing your office ice cream parties and ensuring everyone can participate.

How To Bring Dietary-Inclusive Options to Your Office

One of the easiest ways to diversify your office dietary options is to take an anonymous poll to discover what your employees need. From there, create a designated snack and beverage station that is appealing and easily accessible. When you know what you want to include in your snack station, contact Boston’s most trusted provider of all things delicious, BostonbeaN Coffee Company. We can help you stock your break room to keep your staff energized, happy and healthy, no matter what their dietary restrictions or preferences.
