Especially for those able to work from home, you might oscillate from virtual meetings to online happy hours to a feel-good TV series on Netflix. And repeat. With all this skyrocketed screen time, the thought might have crossed your mind once or twice: Should I invest in a pair of blue-light-blocking glasses?

As if there weren’t enough protein products on the market already, everyone’s favorite Seattle-based, siren-logo’d coffee chain—Starbucks—is hopping on the bandwagon and debuting several of its own. Following preliminary testing in five stores, protein cold foam and “protein-boosted” milk will be available nationwide in the US and Canada as part of the company’s mission to modernize its menu, according to a September 2 press release (and as a Starbucks representative told me on September 24). Both new products, the rep said, were developed in an effort to respond to consumer trends—namely, the spiking demand for protein-fortified food and drink items.Hearing…

What I love most about oatmeal cookie recipes is how versatile they can be—you can mix in chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even swirl in nut butter for extra richness.
