Daily Skimm: It's like my iPod stuck on replay

Foodies, it’s time to plant a real one on ya: Not all plant-based proteins are created equal. In fact, some are chock-full of processed ingredients. Aka the kind made in a lab instead of grown in…well, the ground. 

Daily Harvest’s Crumbles don’t play that game. They’re made with real, whole ingredients. Like lentils, walnuts, porcini mushrooms, and veggies you know and love. Plus each serving’s packed with 13 grams of plant-based protein. Which means you can level up any of your fave dishes (think: lettuce wraps, tacos, and grain bowls) with only the good stuff. Oh, and Skimm’rs can get up to $40 off. Plantastic.* 

Trying to stay WFH comfy on in-office days? Check out Athleta. They have all the easy-to-style pieces you need to rock polished looks with PJ feels. Aka exactly what you’ll wanna slip on for meetings, meetups, and…anything else on your cal. We’re talking…   

• Breathable, quick-drying pants in a statement-making shade ($89). So you can show up sweat-free and styling. Even after your summer commute.

• A silky-sleek skort that’s light as air ($59). For a workday look with workout-level mobility. Aaaand plenty of pockets.

• Wide-leg pants that are alllll about the details ($59+). Think: a subtle, silky side stripe. And a super flattering, ribbed waistband.
