Protein Powders...are they safe?
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?

Not surprised. A lot of grains/peas/soybeans grown in other countries have high metal contents because of the naturally occuring metals (especially arsenic) in the irrigation water. Tumeric is the same. I rarely use protein powder, and when I do, I use whey protein. I typically don't have a sensitivity to dairy so it works for me.

Batch cooking or wing it?

I do like to batch cook my protein in advance with neutral seasonings, then I can throw it in whatever I make for the night.

Good Monday morning/afternoon/evening! Have you looked at our map recently? We are all over the world! Tap the "Map" tab at the top of the home page. 🌍 Which makes me wonder.... (answer one or all ⬇️ ) - What is your favorite thing about where you live? - Where is one place you have loved travelling to, and why? - Where is one place you want to go?

@Amy Joy rock hounding is going out to places where you can find cool rocks. Our area has opals, obsidian in fun colors, agate, and a semi precious stone called sun stones. As well as a rock that glows brightly under a black light.

My dermatologist check up went well this time. I'm good for 2 years or so. My mom had bad skin cancer, so I am trying to be pro active. My gif for the whole week..

I allowed myself to fully mentally rest last night, instead of pushing for more. I got a lot done yesterday, and I celebrated with mental downtime.
