Happy September, everyone! By now you’re probably well into your Back-to-School routine if that applies, and, if you’re like us, looking forward to the leaves changing color and all the seasonal flavors that fall brings about. That said, with new routines there are always some hiccups, and we’re here to help you save time as you and your family get back into the swing of things. We’ve got a mouthwatering array of lunch and dinner options to choose from at our deli and, if you’re really short on time, delicious and fresh salads, sandwiches, and snacks at our Grab n’ Go. We’ve also stocked up on reusable water bottles, sandwich bags, and snack pouches so you can be eco-friendly and lunchbox ready. And if there’s anything we don’t have, feel free to ask us, and we’ll order it for you if we can!
With gratitude,
Jerry
SEASONAL PRODUCE
SEASONAL FRUITS
Forgive us if we suddenly have a craving for apple pie. We can’t help it. The store is packed with apples of all kinds because it’s peak season for this juicy fruit. With such a wide variety available, there is something for everyone’s taste: Fuji’s super-sweet flavor, Granny Smith’s tartness, Braeburn’s notes of citrus, and everything in between. No matter your preference, each one is packed with prebiotic fiber and brain and immune support, so you can’t go wrong whatever variety you choose. If you need help deciding, check out our handy Apple Guide.
SEASONAL VEGGIES
While your apple pie is baking, it’s time to prepare your broccoli. This cruciferous vegetable is loaded with health benefits. Along with fiber and vitamins, broccoli has bioactive compounds that can help reduce inflammation. What more do you need to add this to your dinner menu? Your preparation can be simple: sauté it with some garlic and olive oil, roast it to get it a little crispy, or bake it into a quiche. Trust us, your body will thank you.
INTRODUCING THE COBB SALAD BOWL AT RT
We hope you’re hungry because RT is here with a delicious new menu item: the Cobb Salad Bowl. Crafted to keep you satiated and satisfied, this crave-worthy meal begins with vitamin-packed organic romaine hearts. Then we add slices of antibiotic-free grilled chicken, organic hard-boiled eggs, some applewood-smoked bacon, organic corn, gorgonzola crumbles, and a handful of organic grape tomatoes. To top it all off, we’ve got RT’s fan-favorite Chipotle dressing. Protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals are all served up in this fresh, crispy blend that’s rich, smoky, and savory. Come in and order one for yourself.
WELLNESS MATTERS
It’s the start of the school year, and that means kids are on the go. Between classes, activities, homework, and friends, it’s easy for our children to get rundown. That’s why Steve’s supplement pick this month is Garden of Life Organics Kids Multivitamin gummies. Not only are they organic and Non-GMO Project verified, they’re formula also includes nine whole fruits. Even better is what they’re made without. No artificial colors or flavors, processed sugars, syrups, or animal products. It’s an extra layer of nutritional support as your kiddo buzzes through their day.
Available in fruit and cherry flavor!
*Always check with your doctor before adding any supplement to your diet.
SMOOTHIE OF THE MONTH: BACK TO COOL
It’s September, and you know what that means: RT’s Back to Cool smoothie is here, just in time for the first school bell. Inspired by a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, this organic blend is made with almond milk, strawberry jam, banana, cacao nibs, peanut butter, and frozen strawberries. It’s nostalgia in every sip!
CHARITY OF THE MONTH: GLEN COVE YOUTH BUREAU
Founded in 1981, the City of Glen Cove’s Youth Bureau has provided substantial programming and opportunities for the community’s children. By catering to kids with after-school activities and summer camps, and to teens through employment and internship programs, the GCYB provides a safe environment where children can learn and grow.
