SNACK BREAK #06: zucchini pasta, kravis wedding, & crispy rice treat wars 🤬
pls help us settle a debate
You know what time it is… SNACK BREAK.
Before we get into it… NEW FLAVOR ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
Meet Salted Peanut Butter Cup (!!!) – a limited edition collaboration with dietitian & wellness influencer, @rachaelsgoodeats! And you guys… it tastes JUST like a R**se’s Peanut Butter Cup. We’re so proud of this one. 🤤🥜🍫 Our OG peanut butter-chocolate flavor was already the perfect balance of sweet ‘n salty, but we’ve added peanut chunks, a lil extra salt, and lots and lots of chocolate chips to really give it that edge. As always, this is a limited drop, so grab a few jars while you can!
Anyway… go grab ur little snack (I’ll be spooning my pb deux) and enjoy our recs for this week!
Zucchini Lemon Pasta 🍋🥒
BOMB A$$ RECIPE brought to you by Lindsay, our Field Marketing Manager. *Hi Lindsayyyy! 👋* We were running a demo together at Whole Foods a few weeks ago where she was RAVING about this pasta recipe. (P.S. Yes we’ve been demoing!!! Come say hi and try some cookie dough!!!) Anyway, I had to try it for myself and I’ve officially found my latest food fixation. It’s so simple, so fresh, and a perrrrfect summer dish. Dropping a janky image of the the recipe for you below:
Thrift Con 🧵
Hot take: conventions are fun??? The rest of the team is probably reading this *rolling their eyes* as we’re still recovering from Expo West last month, but personally I thrive there. Anyway, Kristina, our Director of Ops (heyyyy Kristina 👋 ) has been raving about ThriftCon which just went down in Denver last weekend. ThriftCon brings together curators of vintage clothing and collectibles (from the 70s to the 2000s) to put on what they argue is the “greatest flea market you've ever been to.” They’re throwing these thrift parties in 5 more US locations this year so definitely check out their website to see if there’s one going down near you.
Hokas 👟
I think Hokas are the epitome of “ugly cute.” But honestly who cares what they look like when they’re SO DAMN COMFORTABLE. Kristina and I just bought the Bondi 8s (twins!!!) and suddenly I want to take up running? And if you know me, that’s shocking. Seriously though, mine came a couple days ago and I’ve been avoiding wearing them outside because I just love having them on in my house all day while I WFH. Maybe that just means I need another pair in a new color so I can have indoor and outdoor shoes…
I’m Glad My Mom Died ⚱️
This might be old news but this book is SO GOOD. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. She’s most known for her role on Nickelodeon’s iCarly and her memoir explores her struggles as a child actor and her relationship with her emotionally abusive and overbearing mother that sent her down a path of OCD, anorexia, and addiction. I’m only about halfway through but I CAN’T put it down. It’s heartbreaking, but simultaneously hysterical? And before you tell me that’s an ABSURD statement, just read it for yourself. 🥲
Kravis Wedding Special 👰♀️
If you haven’t already you HAVE to watch the Kravis (Kourtney Kardashian + Travis Barker) wedding special on Hulu. Tbh it should be called the 3-wedding-special because they did in fact have THREE WEDDINGS. One in Vegas (classic), one in Santa Barbara, and one in Italy. The Italian wedding was insane and their love for each other is disgustingly cute, so if you’re looking for a mindless watch or a reminder to NEVER SETTLE, we gotchu.
Sweetgreen Crispy Rice Treat??? 🤷♀️
Ok so last week Sabeena picked up one of the new Crispy Rice Treats at Sweetgreen. And it’s exactly what it sounds like – a play on Rice Krispy treats but better-for-you. Totally up our ally. Except she hated it. She thought it was disgusting and told us all not to buy it and requested I de-influence it in this newsletter. So I’m gonna be honest - I was about to write a scathing review of this sweet-block-of-crunchy-rice until my curiosity got the best of me. I bought one… and really liked it??? This treat is tearing our team apart, so please let us know:
HOW DO U FEEL ABOUT THE CRISPY RICE TREAT AT SWEETGREEN???
Til next time! 😚
