Fall may have you asking, "which witch is which?" 🧙‍♀️ But we`re asking, "which `wich is which?" 🥪 Build a fun fall sandwich with these tips!

1️⃣ Start by choosing your bread. We like heartier fare like whole-grain sourdough, pretzel rolls, herbed focaccia, or rich and buttery croissants.
2️⃣ Choose your spread. Set aside the mustard and try out an herb aioli, apple onion jam, cranberry orange jam, or herbed feta spread.
3️⃣ Choose the main event. Whether your diet is plant-based or plant-sometimes, any of these will make for a delightful fall `wich: roasted squash, roasted carrots, sauteed mushrooms, roasted, sliced turkey, or prosciutto. (We recommend mixing and matching these for maximum effect!)
4️⃣ Choose your toppings. (Okay, some might call this the main event...) We like any sliced cheese or burrata, crisp greens like arugula or butter lettuce, fresh vegetables like cucumber, or marinated, roasted tomatoes.

👉 Put it all together and what do you get? Here are a couple of sandwich suggestions to get you started:
⭐ Roasted squash and sauteed mushrooms with Swiss cheese and herb aioli on toasted whole-grain sourdough
⭐ Prosciutto, marinated, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and burrata on foccacia

You CAN have your snack and eat it, too. 🤫 If you`re a busy snacker, your go-to solution for a quick energy boost might be a vending machine, but a little planning will probably help you strike a balance between nutrition and convenience. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Make it whole. Foods in their natural forms (or only lightly processed) like fruits, vegetables, or nuts will keep you fuller for longer.

2️⃣ Choose a power combo. Aim to incorporate at least two of the following into your snack: protein, fiber, and healthy fat! Examples include apple slices with nut butter and hummus with vegetables.

3️⃣ Packaged, but powerful. Choose packaged items that are mostly whole food-based like dried chickpeas or whole-grain crackers and pair with something that has protein or fat like hummus or cheese.

4️⃣ Think beyond typical "snack food." Save that small amount of leftovers or consider out-of-the-box combinations like a vegetable and hummus sandwich or composed bean salad.

When it comes to snacking, make sure you listen to your hunger cues and choose flexible, nutrient-rich options that satisfy and can create a balanced and fulfilling snack routine. If you find yourself snacking on something "less nutritious," it`s totally okay! Eating should be a pleasurable experience. #BalancedEating #SnackIdeas #MindfulEating #NourishYourBody ...

Our commitment to Fair Trade Tea is worth savoring. 🍵

In October 2015, we were the first food service company to commit to sourcing Fair Trade tea in our cafés nationwide. Nearly 10 years later, we are as committed as ever to the enhanced social responsibility and transparency that the Fair Trade label provides.

Here`s how we got there:
➡️ Tea plants thrive in warm, humid climates, meaning most tea is imported from abroad.
➡️ We have long fought for improved labor conditions for farmworkers domestically.
➡️ Unfair labor conditions abroad are myriad. In India alone, tea plantation workers have reported issues of forced labor, gender discrimination, low wages, and high rates of child labor.

What`s in your cuppa?
Our partner, Numi Organic Tea, provides us with assorted herbal and caffeinated Fair Trade Certified teas, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and community development premiums to support health, education, and infrastructure projects.

Did you know that the markets for bananas, coffee, tea, and chocolate are volatile to price changes? Or that the supply chains are highly vulnerable to exploitation?

That`s why fair trade entered the scene back in the 1950s in an effort to create fair, safe working conditions while enriching folks growing and harvesting these goods!

Today, the Fair Trade Certification ensures that workers at certified farms receive fair treatment and fair pay while giving transparency to consumers about whether their product was ethically sourced.

How do farms seek certification? It is a complex and rigorous third-party certification process that takes many months to ensure minimum requirements for labor standards are being met. Following this, there is an annual audit to maintain the label.

We are proud to source Fair Trade tea companywide, working towards better conditions and compensation for producers this Fair Trade Month and beyond!
