Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Our fireworks were cancelled tonight because of the thunderstorms, but we're heading out for dinner now with our neighbors. What are you up to this weekend?

As a research nerd, I love to keep up with the latest in studies and papers published. Protein powder has been in the spotlight recently with the release of the Clean Label Project analysis. They tested 165 products and found almost half had high levels of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Surprisingly, organic and plant-based varieties scored the worst. Get more detail, including what this means for you in my latest email. [not on my email list? message me] Do you use protein powder? If so, is it whey, plant-based or something else?

Batch cooking or wing it?
