I am going to turn green!
I woke up at 6Am, showered, and made a green monster for some flu fighting action…
handful of spinach
cup of unsweetened almond milk
frozen banana (already sliced pre-freeze)
pumpkin butter glob
almond butter glob
pumpkin pie spice
cinnamon
Equal
ice
blend and you will have a yummy “pumpkin pie shake” 
*Can you tell it was so incred dark out this morning? Who is awake this early besides me…oh wait most normal people rise and shine by 7am…me? I prefer the 11 AM wake up call.
This GM seriously held me over from 7am until 12ish….
I did however drink about 12 ounces of OJ though (getting my vitamin C in)
and black coffee with Soy milk and Splenda.
I was freezing/ hot/ cold every 10 minutes. Joys of being ill and working in front of a constant door opening and closing…
Around 12 I had this Cliff bar because guests could hear my stomach growling as I seated them..
Peanut Toffee Buzz Buzz…
um I would give this a 6/10. I am not a huge toffee fan. If you all love toffee then try this, but for me, I think I will stick with my beloved White Chocolate Mac Nut Cliff or Chocolate Mint.
Plus, the manager at the grocer that is connected to our restaurant kinda hates me, so the fact I even made this salad peeved her off. She said, I wasn’t wearing hair net so I could have contaminated the food. Um, sorry that some girl that works behind the counter told me I could make it. Sabotage much?
Anyways, I had a huge bowl of creamy tomato soup. Obvi not vegan as it was made with cream. But this was sooooo soothing on my throat.
salad.
spinach and mixed greens
peppers, onions, tomatoes, olives, heart of palm, cucumbers, artichokes, chives, avocado, chickpeas, 4 tofu cubes, peas, parmasan, and 1/4 cup of the Herb dressing and Sriracha was added later.
sorry for the awkward “picture under the host stand” shot…had to be done.
finished this at 4, worked til 6, shopped at Urban and purchased a leather Bomber jacket. um I need my next paycheck now. Grr. It was to cute not to buy though.

Blue Monster
spinach
cup of Almond Milk (unsweetened)
frozen naner
handful of frozen bloobs
heaping glob of Honey Almond Butter
heaping glob of reg Almond Butter
pumpkin butter
cinnamon and pump spice
I also fixed a plate of fruit with another blob of AB for dippage. Can’t a girl have like 3 servings of nut butter in a day?
p.s. this is half of the fruit I ate…see while my Monster was blending, I got impatient and ate all the srawberries, grapes and oranges on the plate. It looked prettier before I killed it.
Sadly I work 8-3 today. Sadly my paper is due Tuesday. Sadly I only have today and Monday to write it.
I need to up my piles on the miles, so after work, I am going on a nice hour long walk before hermitizing myself to my room all evening.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
