How to Build a Healthier Break Room: Essentials Every Office Needs
If your break room is just a sad coffee pot and a few stale snacks... it’s time for a glow-up.
A well-stocked, health-conscious break room isn’t just a nice perk—it boosts morale, encourages hydration, and keeps your team energized throughout the day.
At The Water Way, we help businesses across Alabama and Mississippi turn bland break rooms into productivity powerhouses.
Here’s how to create a healthier space for your crew—without breaking the budget.
💧 1. Hydration Station: Bottled Water & 5-Gallon Jugs & Single Serves
Staying hydrated improves focus, energy levels, and even mood.
That’s why water should be front and center in every break room.
What to include:
- 5-gallon water dispensers for easy access
- Single bottled water for grab-and-go convenience
- A steady delivery schedule to avoid last-minute store runs
âš¡ 2. Sports Drinks for the Win
Not just for athletes! Sports drinks can help replenish electrolytes after a long meeting, hot warehouse shift, or when the AC decides to quit.
Choose options that:

- Are low in sugar or contain natural electrolytes
- Come in a variety of flavors to keep things interesting
- Are available in single-serve bottles for easy distribution
☕ 3. Coffee to Get the Morning Going Right
A good caffeine boost is what every morning person loves!
K-Cups and coffee essentials to include:
- Bold flavor options (dark roast, flavored blends, decaf)
- Create a clean, easy-to-use brewing station
🚚 And yes, we deliver it all—no coffee runs required.

🧘 4. Healthy Swaps & Snack Ideas
We don’t provide snacks, but while you’re upgrading, toss out the greasy chips and stock up on:

- Trail mix, granola bars, dried fruit
- Low-sugar options and protein-packed bites
- A mini fridge with fresh fruit or yogurt
