Oh Monday. Life would a little more pleasant if you never came around. It seems that you go out of your way to frazzle me.
But I won’t let you get the best of me.
I’m going to do what I can to pretend you’re not here and celebrate the day in my own little way.
I won’t respond frantically to frantic emails.
I’ll put on a cheerful sweater.
I’ll take a leisurely lunch with a friend.
I’ll buy myself pretty flowers at the grocery store.
I’ll refrain from yelling at the drivers who will not let me over.
Okay. That last one is a lie.
I’ll make something for breakfast that screams Saturday…and smiles and summer and butterflies and rainbows.
Maybe my expectations of breakfast are a tad too high.
1/2 frozen banana
3/4 cup frozen cherries
juice and zest of half a lime
1 scoop vanilla whey protein (or protein powder of choice)
Combine everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
Enjoy as is, or dress it up with a bit of granola if you like. How about some cherry almond granola?
You could even add a bit of spinach to turn this smoothie into a green monster, but you’ll have to say goodbye to that pretty pink color, if you do.
Pretty, cheerful, tasty things make Monday much more bearable.
Happy Monday is almost over!
How do you get through the most hated day of the week?
