tarzhay thursday | pretties + protein, plus a new #fab4smoothie recipe!

happy thursday! this week feels all sorts of discombobulated since i was on vacation the first half, worked from home on wednesday due to snow, and am now finally heading back to work today. needless to say, i’m thinking spring full force, and i’ve picked up a few things at target this week to help feed that spring craving.

baublebar’s line at target, sugarfix, has a ton of cute new statement earrings that i’ve been dying over. can we talk about those tortoise shell ones?! so cute. i’m making a concerted effort to wear more fun earrings this spring, since scarves make me feel a little [“a little”] top-heavy with this bump, and i’m really into dainty and simple necklaces. i love that i can try out some different statement earring trends and not break the bank with sugarfix. not to mention, all of my sugarfix pieces are high quality and have lasted, and i’m not the most careful person with all of my jewelry. much recommend if you are looking to test out any jewelry trends – the sugarfix line at target is your way to go!

SO good! i also double checked the ingredient list and feel a lot better about purchasing it.

speaking of springy/summery things, i just picked up the coconut flavored protein from the tone it up line. in all honesty, i had bought the peanut butter flavored kind a long time ago, and ended up never using it because i liked the vega or ancient nutrition kinds better. that being said, i’m glad i gave it another go, because my new #fab4smoothie recipe i made yesterday was AH-MAZING. i will definitely be making that kind again! i also picked up some of these – total impulse purchase – as well as my go-to protein bars.

as promised, here’s my new fave #fab4smoothie recipe that i’ll have on repeat for the next, idk, forever:

  • PROTEIN: 1 scoop tone it up coconut protein
  • FAT: 1-2 TB trader joe’s mixed nut butter
  • FIBER: 1 TB flax meal, 1 TB hempseed
  • GREENS: frozen kale [like, a lot of it to give it that really bright green color and make it #instaworthy. i promise you won’t taste it]
  • ice
  • top with unsweetened coconut shreds [i get mine from tj’s but target has some great options as well!]

so, so good! you will not regret trying this. if you do, let me know what you think. happy thursday, and thanks for reading!
