| We share this week's favorite recipe, podcast blog article & more! Plus, check out the Deal of the Week! | | | | | Howdy, friend! Happy Memorial Day weekend! This special day, which far exceeds the casual observer's designation as the unofficial start to summer, is a day of remembrance for all the American service members who sacrificed their lives for us and our freedom. We honor these brave, integrous men and women by pausing to express our sincere, heartfelt gratitude for the immense liberties that we get to enjoy (and all too often, take for granted) daily thanks to their grit, guts, and convictions. "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." - Melody Beattie Give thanks today and every day…and at those times when it seems like nothing's going your way, it's even more important to recognize all that's good in life. | | 1. Favorite Recipe We Tried This Week | | | | Besides saluting brave soldiers who've left us too soon, Memorial Day is synonymous with cookouts, and few things meld good eatin' and fellowship like a summer BBQ. Of course, despite being finger-lickin' good, the typical spread could use a nutritional makeover. Don't worry, Coach C has you covered with her 5 healthy BBQ sides, which are downright delicious. Even if you aren't hosting or attending a BBQ this weekend, you're going to love these health-supercharged sides, including classics like cole slaw, potato salad, broccoli salad, and more—including lots of bacon. Good luck choosing one…you may be bringing all five! | | | | 2. Best of our Weekly Podcast | "Don't get distracted by the shiny object. Execute on the fundamentals." - Reed Hastings Are you drinking the Keto Kool-Aid? Thinking about joining the masses and jumping aboard the Keto bandwagon? Before you consume one more fat bomb, drink one more cup of oil-infused coffee, or completely sign off on carbs, find out why going Keto may be a huge mistake. While Keto can certainly be useful, in this episode of BioTrust Radio, punningly titled "Death to Keto!", we talk about how it's just one of many tools in the toolbox, and we'll reveal 5 steps that everyone should take first, (before they even think about trying Keto). Enjoy! | 3.

Most Popular Blog Article This Week | Even though they actually belong to the legume family, peanuts are by far the most popular "nut," making up two-thirds of all nut consumption in the United States. But as you may have noticed a time or two, popularity doesn't always equal quality, and in recent years, peanuts (which, believe it or not, contain resveratrol, the same antioxidant associated with the anti-aging benefits of red wine) have taken a back seat to other nuts like almonds, pecans, and walnuts. In particular, peanut butter has taken quite a lashing, especially in health circles. But is it worthy of the flogging? Or, is peanut butter actually good for you? What does peanut butter do to your body? Let's crack open the shell on this pseudo-nut, shall we? | | 5. Transformation Challenge Update | Let's get this party started!

Charity Update: No Kid Hungry® | | For many kids, there are few things that they anticipate with as much excitement as summer vacation. But for a shocking number of children, particularly from low-income families, summer is the hungriest time of the year. When schools close, students no longer get school meals, and their families struggle to put food on the table. 43% of low-income families say it's harder to make ends meet during the summer. This hunger can have a long-term impact on a child's health, ability to learn, and general well-being. Free summer meal programs—at schools and community centers—are the answer, and all across the country, No Kid Hungry helps local organizations launch and operate summer meal sites where kids can eat breakfast and lunch for free. And that's why, for every customer order, we donate a meal to a hungry child, in your honor, through our partnership with NoKidHungry.org. To date, BioTrust has provided over 3.2 nutritious meals to hungry kids. Please help us hit our goal of 4 million meals this year. | 7.
