The Friday 5

Image
Hey there and happy Friday to you! The Hauperts had quite the fun vacation week. It started out slow, but definitely ramped up towards the end. Quinn took part in a science "investigation" camp with his best friend. As a family, we went into Boston and saw Disney on Ice. I had an Entyvio infusion. Mal and I did our taxes and then went out to lunch one afternoon. Quinn and I baked Snickerdoodle Blondies for Mal. (He loved them!!) We (almost) completed a 1,000 piece Star Wars puzzle. We went bowling with friends, played at the playground, and went swimming one day. Wow, I'm kind of exhausted typing that all out! 🙂 With it being Friday and all, it’s time for another edition of the Friday 5 where I share my top 5 favorites from the week.

Traditionally sweetened with a bit of honey, the chai lattes available widely in the Western world tend to be cloying with syrups and artificial flavors that don’t honor the Indian art of steeping the tea with whole spices. To find a Primal and Primal-keto version, forego the coffee house line and make your own at home. What Is a Dirty Chai Latte? A dirty chai latte is the beautiful marriage of a chai latte spiked with a shot (or two) of espresso. If you have an espresso machine at home, simply add a shot or two of espresso to the recipe below. We used instant espresso powder and recently boiled water to make our dirty chai latte as simple as possible—no espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker necessary. We did use a milk frother to add volume to the almond milk, but you c

Working Out While Injured No matter how careful we are, injuries can be an unfortunate side effect of working out. If the injury is severe, it makes sense to rest the affected area to prevent further injury. But we don’t want to lose the gains we’ve achieved by resting for too long. So how do you balance the risk of further injury with the desire to stay in shape when you’re injured? How about working out while injured? How To Workout While Injured Photo by LYFE Fuel on Unsplash Speak With Your Health Professionals Prior to working out with an injury, it’s important to speak with your health professionals. Make sure there isn’t a severe condition that requires complete rest. Sometimes there is an underlying issue or concern that demands total abstinence from exercise. Listen to Your Body After speaking with your health professionals, the most important part of working out while injured is to listen to your body. If you are in moderate to severe pain, you should consult a phys
