First, breakfast! 😀
Despite the cooler weather, I was in the mood for a nice, cold smoothie this morning. I figured it’ll start to get a little too chilly for smoothies soon, so I should take advantage of the temperate weather and enjoy ’em while I still can.
Ahhh Attack of the Green Monster
I made myself a chocolate peanut butter cup green monster smoothie by combining the following:
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 large handfuls spinach
- 4 ice cubes
- 3/4 c. cold water
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1.5 tbsp. peanut butter
PB Cup Green Monster
The best part about this smoothie?
It matched my pants!
She Did the Match... She Did the Monster Match!
In the above picture they don’t look that matchy-matchy, but I blame the sunlight because in real life they were almost dead on!
Here are some other green monster smoothie recipes for ya in case you’re interested:
- Cocoa Overload Green Monster
- Mocha Green Monster
- Piña Colada Green Monster
- Berry Good Green Monster
Now onto the oh-so-serious debate…
The other day I was talking with one of my coworkers about the gorgeous flowers she had at her desk.
Our conversation then turned into a debate about what women prefer to have sent to them from their significant other.
Chocolate?
Or flowers?
Peonies
My answer was flowers. I can buy myself chocolate, but I’d feel totally goofy sending myself flowers at work. Plus, flowers last longer than a box of chocolate around me. 😉
I’ll never forget the time Ryan sent me a cookie bouquet at work. The bouquet was comprised of five large cookies which became my breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack that day. Turns out me and a cookie bouquet are a deadly combination.
Question of the Morning
Would you rather receive flowers or chocolate from a loved one?

i’m definitely a flowers type girl… but if they want to steal a place in my heart, boys should bring me ice cream.
but the real question of the day… where are your green pants from?? too cute, i’ve been looking for some exactly like them!
thanks! they’re from j.crew.
So I say flowers!!
And I have to ask if you can taste the spinach?!?!?!? I like NOTHING more than a PB and banana smoothie but with spinach???
no you really can’t taste it at all! it’s fantastic!
flowers!
Flowers! It feels go good to get flowers!
Lol…Monster Match
Totally a chocolate person….I cant do anything with flowers…I cant bring them to clinic or to class, and I cant leave them out on the table cause Kieran (my cat) will eat them lol or knock over the vase. Chocolate on the other hand I can bring in for a snack during lunch for both clinic and class and Kieran wont try to eat them 🙂 Plus chocolate tastes bunches better than flowers hehe
Monster Match = Brilliant.
You’re too cool for school, girl.
I would rather receive flowers because I am not much of a chocolate person and I don’t eat sugar (for now) BUT I love the kind that are potted…because they don’t just whither up and die. I’m all for a potted gerbera daisy or Orchid.

Most definitely, flowers. I could buy myself chocolate anyday. Plus, it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you get flowers sent to you.
flowers. though random gifts of chocolate, i would NEVER turn that down 😉
As much as I love CHOCOLATE… Flowers always make me feel super special. 🙂
I’d have to agree with you (even thought I don’t have a husband or a boyfriend) I would rather get flowers. 🙂
Flowers… I would MUCH rather receive flowers!
flowers absolutely. i eat way too much chocolate at once.
