January can be a difficult month for many people. Short daylight hours, colder weather, post-Christmas fatigue and financial pressures can all impact mood and motivation. Blue Monday, often referred to as the “most depressing day of the year” , usually falls on the third Monday in January and has become a useful moment for workplaces to pause and think about employee wellbeing. While wellbeing goes far beyond food alone, encouraging healthier eating habits and a focus on nutr

Lunch in London is expensive. For many office workers, a quick midday meal can easily cost £8–£15, and over time this adds up for employees already facing high living costs.

In December 2025, the Jar Healthy Vending team came together to celebrate the festive season.

January marks the start of Veganuary, a global movement that encourages people to try a plant-based diet for the month of January and, for many, beyond. With growing interest in health, sustainability and ethical food choices, Veganuary has become a key moment for workplaces to reflect on how they support their teams’ changing habits. In a city like London, one of the most plant-friendly places in the UK, plant-based vending is a natural fit for the modern workplace. Recent r

A takeaway coffee in London now often costs £3.50–£5, which adds up incredibly quickly for anyone relying on caffein
