Now, the The [Green Moustache](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-grocery-store) Organic Café has introduced its own vending machine inside the Meadow Park Sports Centre, which is being touted as "Canada’s first all-vegan vending machine." The vending machine in Whistler, British Columbia is stocked daily with 100% organic, gluten-free and [plant-based dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-meals), including everything from buddha bowls and collard wraps to nut-free granola bars and [vegan cheesecake desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-happy-pear-food-products).
